I have always been very fond of piercings but my father being a cop and all was very strict and thought piercings were disgusting when my parents finally got divorced i asked my mother could I get my labret pierced? and surprisingly she told me if I behaved for a month she would pay for it and i could get my labret pierced YAY i thought. As the month went by I didn't think a thing of it until 3 days before the piercing i was so excited but so scared.. thoughts went thru my mind Would it hurt? would i look good with it? would i be able to eat with it? and most important would it get infected and would i be able to take care of it? so the last few daYS rolled by I had been talking to the piercer for a little while before discussing the price and stuff i found the place when i was looking for a tattoo/piercing shop in the phone book and there was some other places such as sacred grounds and white tiger but one that attracted my eye "9 lyves" so i got online checked if they had a web site which they did emailed the piercer and became friends with him finally went to the place shaking like hell because i didn't know what to expect. kevin the piercer a nice friendly guy had no waiting line too bad i thought i was too scared to just get in there and get it done i would have liked to sit on the little futon for a while maybe keep the nervousness down? so i picked out my jewelry the flat back they usually use with the labret piercing he led me to the back behind the curtain i sat in the oh so dreaded chair he gave me some mouth wash i went into the bathroom and swished with the listerine burning my tongue came back and sat in the chair he said ok relax your mouth marked me with the purple marker and he told me to close my eyes i had my cousins girlfriend hold my hand (yeh im a wimp like that) he put the clamps on and i was going to back out of it i said no don't do it and he took them off told me not to be nervous i was like ok just do it i closed my eyes and he stuck me and these words crossed my lips "Son of a fucking bitch that fucking hurt" but no tears .. surprisingly. The family came to watch me cry, but left disapointed. so i finally got my piercing now alls i had to do was conquer eating and drinking.. after the swelling went down the glass would hit the jewelry and hurt my gums eating a bagel was hard becuase i couldn't open my mouth up wide enough to put it in. Getting hit in the mouth was one of the worse experiences and i wouldn't have experienced it if i wasn't shooting my mom in the face with a water gun but that's what i have to put up with i guess it didn't bleed on the out side but it bashed into my gums and i was spitting a pretty shade of red for a little while. The month of behaving was totally worth it although it was hard i told my mom i wanted another she said i would look stupid but told me in a month i could so i went back and got that done my 2nd lip ring that i got i was talking to one of the tattooists there and brought up bmezine.com and he was like oh you know frances and jason? i said no but then he showed me a picture and i knew who they were from looking at the pictures on the site he told me that he was the best man in the wedding and to look at the pictures and i'd see him

the cleaning takes a while i do it 2 times a day like i am supposed to and one extra i still do it with my oldest piercings i get q-tips and put some liquid dial on it and wash around the piercing i do it while i am in the shower before i go to bed and when i wake up. if you want your labret pierced or a lip ring i suggest you do it it's very pretty and you'll look great with it don't back out of it because you're scared of the pain that's only half the battle and it goes away. After all of that i have 2 lip rings my labret and my belly button done for pix go to http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/Witchcoven20OO/pix.html
