In august of last year, I had got my navel pierced while on a family vacation. It was so gorgeous, and I loved it! I looked great with it! So it stayed in until abut April this year. Thats when the trouble came.
At A Glance Author Ni Contact Ni@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Big Ed Studio Big Ed's Studio Location Ohio I go away to college during the school year, and towards the end, like around March, I noticed I had been wearing the same bellyring for a while, so I decided to change it to a different one because I was going out at that night. So I went in the bathroom, and took my old one out and cleansed it with no problem, and then I couldnt get my new one in. It was so wierd, I never had trouble with it before! But that night, I ran up and down the halls in my dorm asking people for help and or advice, and everyone told me to keep trying, well i tried for an hour, and I had to get goin, and the only way I could get it in was through the top, so I got smart and wore a top entry belly ring. I figured since I was going home that weekend that I could figure out what was wrong then.
When I got home for the weekend, I took a long a shower and began to try again and clean and fix my ring. But to my surprise it still wouldnt go in, now I'm frustrated because I dont know what to do and I'm in the shower, then somehow, DONT ASK ME HOW, my barbell slips and falls down the drain, and I did not have anymore at home (cause they are all at school) So my belly ring closed up. I was pretty upset, and I think I even cried a little. But I said oh well, at least I dont have to take care of it anymore.
But as time went on, I noticed my little brown scar spot, and I longed for my belly button ring again, but I was terrified to get it repierced because of that pain. but I worked up some nerve to at least go talk to a local piercer in our town. He took a look at it for a quick second and told me it had not closed up and he could taper it for free. Taper? Whats that I asked him. He told me its when they take a needle looking like thing and stick it through your whole so it opens up to the size of a belly ring. Ouchies! I looked at him like, have you seen my belly holes, they are both covered with skin, I think they are closed up. But he said come back when I wanted somethin done for sure. So Yesterday I was with my best friend and she talked me into going ahead and getting it tapered.
When we get to the studio, the man again explained to me what he needed to do. But this time I layed down and made the man look at my belly button holes alot closely to show him how the skin covered them. So then he says, well...Lets try. I'm like LETS TRY?! lol, I'm wanting to get it over with. So I lay down and he cleans it off or whatever and then hes trying to poke it in, through the top and bottom, and it doesnt go in (duh.) And then he tells me I'm gonna need to repierce it. OUCHIES!!!!! So I said NO WAY! But my friend said its summer time your gonna want it later anway, go ahead. And I thought about how much I missed it and how I want this damn scar hidden off my belly. So I said ok. He told me the cost was $45 dollars, and I said HAHAHA I only have 30, oh well we cant do it! But then he said, how about I only charge you 15 for the bellyring. And I said dammit. I can never pass up a great deal like that. So I told him yes, but I would need to chill for 5 minutes. So me and my friend walked around looking at tattoos and then we sat in my car listening to music and relaxin. Then I decided I was ready.
Walking in my feet felt so heavy and I think I was even sweating. I was so scared, belly button piercings dont scare me, it was just the thought of it going through the scar tissue that eeked me. But we told him we were ready and layed down. I swear to you, my friend tells stories and gossip like you wouldnt believe so I said Girl tell me some gossip and all she could do was laugh, I dont even know what she was laughin at, but she was no help. lol. Everything happened so fast, I dont even remember him talking to me, he put some stuff on it and then I looked and he was already clamping me, askin me if i was ready. I SAID OMG! WHOA TOO FAST! And then he pierced me and it hurt, but it hurt like the first time I got it done, to my surpise, which isnt bad at all. So it hurt a litle when he slid the belly ring on, but after that it was ok. And I jumped up and looked at it and it looked like home! I was so happy!
