Two weeks ago this friday, my mood was pretty stressful.. I had a lot of home situations and everything just kind of built itself up over the course of the week. Basically I just needed a quick escape, as there seemed to be no answer in discussing it with other people.
At A Glance Author Lonely4011 Contact Lonely4011@bme.anon When A week ago Artist Rev. Alva Studio neddle Fetish Location Jacksonville FL Prior to this week I had been thinking about adding onto my lonely two inch surface piercing located on my upper left arm.. It looked a little plain and ordinary, although many people stilll found it quite interesting. I had been toying with the idea of a flesh staple instead, and had even written people over their experiences with it. On top of that, I had wanted to make a cross with the piercing I already had, just adding a shorter horizontal one.
So friday came, and I had the day off from work, and it occurred to me to put two and two together with my problems.. I would make the hour drive to Jacksonville FL to get additional surface piercings, and use them as my escape from my stress. I went alone and went inside and Alva was ready to answer any questions I had since he knew me well due to my previous surface bar.
The issues arose with the staples and the cross in my arm.. The staples they were concerned about it beomcoming too uncomfortable or migrating out of my arm.. Reason being they said, was that your arm is widely used and in motion, making it nearly impossible to keep under control.. The cross, they mentioned that since there is so little fat on my arm (yes I'm a little skinny) the corss might bulge out too far and therefore be uncomfortable..
So I was a little thrown off, butI still had so much stress to get rid off.. My mind was already at comfort since I was sure I was going through with this. I finally had decided on two more vertical bars each smaller than the original one.. They would be on each side of the first making a tribal sort of design on my arm..
While he was autoclaving the materials, he told me to relax and lie my head down on a pillow with my arm resting on my side.. Wow, this was cozy.. There was also this attractive girl with her septum done whom I was talking to, and she came in with wide open eyes watching everything.. She herself, had just recently had a scalple run through her sides making four stars beside her bellybutton.
Ok, Alva prepped my arm and then told me to take a deep breath. I did and while exhaling I heard a small squishy noise. No pain, actually it felt extrememly calming. I forgot to mention, the material being used was taigon, which to me is much more comfortable than steel bars.. Then the second barbell gigngerly slid into my skin, which had me close my eyes smiling. That was actually odd to me, because for the first piercing on my arm I acted like some little boy on his way to recieve a tetnus shot. But this was much more calming and spiritual.. The stress seemed to disapear as the peircings were inserted.. I never once looked at my arm, I was a little nervous about that, but I was completely assured. There seemed to be no pain really, and I'm one who still hates getting his shots taken at the docter.. But lying on my side like that it actually took the stress out of me.. After both piercings had been taken care of, I looked around to see about two more females loo king at me smiling back telling me how they thought I was hardcore or something.. No this is no fantisy, this was so true it was great. I was'nt able to move, and Alva told me I didnt need to feel rushed, I deserved to just lie there and rest..
I dont think I really could move then... Again not because of the pain, but because of the relaxation that came from it.. The adrenaline leaving me feeling so calm and sleepy like.. It was wonderful. All I had hoped for and more.. This was my first time using a piercing as a spiritual moment and it makes everything so much more enjoyable. I finally managed to get up, and Alva told me if there was anything I needed don't hesistate, and I know for a fact he's as good as his word. So I smiled and managed to drink a Sobe for some sugar, then I drove home..
Wow going back to my friend's house, everyone was honestly asking what kind of drugs I have taken.. They know I'm well pretty much straight edge, but they were still in shock to see me so relaxed and calm. I showed them how nice my arm looked and they were happy.. I think I couldn't really distinguish anything else then.
Yah though, if you have any doubts about any kind of surface piercings go for it.. I found out though, if you go for more of a look than anything else it'll more than likely hurt more.. If you go in for more spiritual purposes, you're in for the ride of your life.. You will not be let down.. I've become addticted to them, and am ready for more after less than two weeks.
