Hi there kids. First of all, I'd like to advise you all not to do this. allthough I doubt any of you would be as stupid as i was. This August I'll be a sophomore in high school.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact dovetd@juno.com When N/A Artist me,all me Studio 3rd hour geometry class As a freshman, I took geometry with a teacher whom I had loved to hate, as he mutualized. One day as I was feeling like disrupting his class of 45 kids, I made a pair of brightly colored glasses made out of pipe cleaners. He was immune to my antics. I needed something better, something more eyecatching, as I sat right in front of his desk. We were working on our circle chapter. Right about then was when the gears in my head started to turn. I have a CBR in my purse..... That would get the attention of him and my peers. I then proceeded to remove the stylus of my compass, as I didn't have my piercing needles with me after being threatened by our overweight security guard. I pushed the stylus through slowly. It hurt like HELL!!! But I got it through. Damn it!! I have to draw a circle, so I quickly pull the stylus out of my hand and re-assemble my compass, forgetting to put the CBR in my freshly made hole. I'm not one to give up, so I pierced myself three more times . By the time I had finished the fourth and final piercing, the hour was over.
I somehow managed to carry my notebook and other school paraphenelia to my fourth hour room. On my way there, I stopped and talked to my friend, and showed her what I had done. She looked at me like I was the stupidest person she hade ever seen. I probably am. Luckily, fourth hour, I had an unscheduled hour that day, so I went into the classroom, sterilized my CBR, and tried to push it through the hole. Much to my amusement, i nearly made the kid sitting next to me vomit and pass out at the same time. Sadly, the stylus of my compass didn't make a hole large enough for my 14 gauge CBR to pass through. You'd think after this much dissappointment, I would stop. Oh no. When I set my mind to something, it's going to happen. So I filled down the point of the stylus with my friend's nail file after I had pushed it through my hand yet again. I had to lie to my mother and tell her that I dropped my compass so she would but me a new one. I let my hand heal before putting a barbell in it. About 2 weeks my piercing came to an untimely end. I am a flute player, and I have a knack for picking piercings that prevent me from playing. A long story made short, one of the balls got caught on the key mechanism and ripped, causing me a lot of pain and discomfort. Since I am right handed, I guess it was a good thing I pierced my left hand web.
I shared this expierience with you guys, because I was lucky that I didn't develop a life threatening infection, as I never cleaned it, didn't research it, and didn't use the proper equipment. Piercing yourself to bother someone else isn't a reason to pierce yourself, especially if they don't even notice. But you guys know that. Please, in the name of all things holy, don't make the same mistakes that I did. And if you feel the need to pierce yourself, research it, because you don't want to end up with complications or ugly scars like I have. Piercing yourself isn't a good idea unless you know what you are doing, and even then, you've had better ideas, unless of course you are in a vegetative state, then I'd commend you on your brilliant idea.
In the future, I plan to get my re-pierced by a trained, licenced, PROFESSIONAL!!! I also plan on finishing my navel project, getting my eyebrow, venoms, and if i can muster the courage, a nasallang. I'll write about those as soon as they happen, which won't be for a while, because I am hindered by my age. The only way to get anything pierced in Kansas if you're under the age of 16 is to either do it yourself, or have somenoe else fuck it up for you so you have someone else to blame for your stupidity. And those are things that I definitely don't want messed up at all. None of the artists around here will do a nasallang, so if anybody knows of one, please e-mail that to me. If you have any questions about how I became stupid enough to do this to myself, or any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
