Hello how are you all.
At A Glance Author Ty'stacia Contact queen2049@yahoo.com When A year ago Artist me Studio home Location my house It started when I was 14 . Ok I have always been checking out pics of them, and stuff. I started on yahoo and Google looking at pics I was like "I can do this." so I kept doing research on it and I realized there isn't any one around here that does piercing anymore. So then I was like I got to do it by myself.
I had a 20 ga needle that I had ordered when I pierced my nose. One morning I was curious would it hurt or bleed if I stick all the way threw. I cleaned everything and I lifted my top lip up and slowly stuck the needle threw. I dint think it was going threw but as I was looking in the mirror I started to see something sparkling and it was the tip of the needle I was like oh my goodness its out so I kept pushing and it went threw all the way. So I pulled it out and it bled a lil bit but not much. Since it was for a nose piercing I kind of figured it wouldn't bleed because its so small. So I made my mind up to go ahead and order the right needle so the next day I did.
So I looked at more pics then I started looking at the rings and what is the normal size. So I finally found out what the right size was so I went to Ms.Piercings.com and found some needles. I have recently purchase needles from there and they are very sharp and good to use. So I finally convinced myself I can do this I can do this. I went to the web site and found the size I need so I dint know could I thread the jewelry threw or not so I ordered a 14 ga and a 16 ga so if the jewelry wouldn't fit in 1 it would fit in the other.
Tick tick tick. The time came I opened the package and looked at the two big needles and freaked out. I was like no way I can do this by myself. I walked to the bathroom cleaned up got ice, paper towel, alcohol and a marker. There my long journey began. I wiped my lip off with alcohol and then I dotted it. I put the ice on but that wore off to fast. I took a deep breath lifted my lip up and started. I pushed deeper and deeper soon I felt a poke on the outside of my lip. It hurted like crazy I kept pushing then it came out more then I started feeling like a razor blade was cutting me. So I got angry and pushed hard so the tube was coming threw then I was feeling good I already had the jewelry threaded so all I had to do was screw on the ball.
It started swelling an hour later and my ball started sinking in so I got worried. Then the ball popped off. I had to go to Wal Mart and get a longer barbell but it still wasn't long enough. So I changed it I got worried it wouldn't go in. that night after school I seen that this ball was sinking in my skin because it was so swollen. So I just took it out to let the swelling go down. The next afternoon I put it back in and it went in perfects but my swelling started to come back. So I went to my local chin chang store (AKA) hair store and got a lip ring with a long bar.
Every time I would take the first couple bars out it started to bleed really bad. So I had to keep putting towels on I t with pressure until it stop bleeding. The one thing I did not like about it was that when I went to school it was swollen to bad. I had to walk around school with a swollen lip it looked like someone punched me in it. I got a lot of teacher complaints and disgusted looks. But oh well it is my lip not there's so it really dint matter. My mom kind of said something but after a while she dint mind. My brother still don't like it or any of my piercing and my grandma always be tripping. she said I am going to get cancer for having so many piercing. I thought that was so funny. I been having it for a while and now when I go out people want to know where I got it done at and did it hurt. I don't tell them no because it did. I know one girl told me before I got mine did that it dint hurt all well she lied.
