Well,ok...I have wanted my labret piercing done since I was 14 years of age!! But the parental said no way ,not a chance as long as I lived under their roof and so on bla bla, ( I bet most of you hear that )..Then 3 whole long and painful, boring years later they finally gave in to me because I constantly bothered and bugged and pestered etc...anyway..
At A Glance Author *erica* Contact *erica*@bme.anon Artist chris Studio Linda's tattoo Location mineral wells My mother said that I could get it done since I had wanted it for so long and that there was really no reason why I couldnt have it ( muwehehe ),just as long as it didnt look gawdy looking,or freaky, so I was soooooo excited and reallllllly super nervous.I DO NOT like blood or pain at all in any way and I can not stand the sight of any kind of needle ( I almost cry when I get shots beleive it or not ;) )..I can barely handle it to tell you the honest God's truth.But I told myself I was going to do it regardless ,no matter how bad it hurts or how big the needle is or anything..
So we got in the car and I was really nervous and even thought about backing down..But I thought to myself " this could be my only chance to get it done " so I was going to go thru with it no matter what!!
Soooo,We went inside the piercing/tattoo studio, and the piercer ( Chris ) was doing a belly button piercing well..more like 5, and he was like " can help you guys with anything " and I said.." I want my labret done *bites lip nervously* " and he was like " ok cool.. you can go ahead and pick out what jewlrey you want " ..
SO me and my mommy walked over to the counter and picked it out, ( a very small barbell )..then when he was finally done with about 10 belly button piercings he was like " alrighty, ya ready " (and I suddenly felt every joint in my entire body turn to jello), and swallowed very hard saying " yes..yes I am " in a very small voice.
So my mother had to fill out all these form paper thingies because I am underage and bla bla bla..and he told me to go to the bathroom and rinse with some anti-bacterial mouthwash really well, so I did that , then I walked out of the bathroom and sat in the piercing chair trying to relax, which was pretty hard, and a bunch of pom pom girls came over to see what I was getting done , (they had just gotten their belly buttons done )and..I watched very closely as he cleaned and sterilized all the instruments very carefully and so on,(you want to make sure they are very sterile,cause you dont want to catch anything ;) then he put on some gloves and begun to mark my lip with a sergical marker so I could see where it was going to be placed , and he put a rubber band around this clamp thingy, and he put it on my bottom lip, pulling it out pretty far...so I closed my eyes real tight and sat up straight and tryed to breath (haha) and tried not to think about how much it would hurt ,and he was telling me how fast it would be over with and that it wouldnt hurt at all...
He took out this huge needle and I about pooped my pants so I closed my eyes and tried not to think about how big it was.. Then he took the piercing needle and shoved it right thru..just like that..so fast..I did not even feel a thing. NO JOKE.It was so awesome, I was so surprised, " are you already done " I said (in a squeeky voice). And he said " yep " " told ya there was nothin to it " so I was sitting there for about 2 minutes with a piercing needle hanging out of my lip, and he finally put the barbell in and screwed the ball on and cleaned what very little blood off. And I got up and ran over to the mirror and was like " oh my gosh,that is so, so rokken "..and he started to laugh, and told me how to clean it and what to eat and what not to eat.(no spicy stuff :( ) then we payed the guy and went out to get some chicken for dinner.(which was pretty hard to eat..LOL )and a water which felt so so so good on it.
So ,if you are thinking about getting your labret done..DO IT for petes sake. It does not hurt,I swear.So if I can do it, I know you can. And I wouldnt take it out for anything.
Welp, that pretty much sums up my short story..
I survived " My very own labret experience ".
