I am a body piercer and lover of body mods. I finally had received my Barbells for my next project and was extremely excited. I had told my father that I was going to get a few (10) more piercings, but not facial, so he didn't have to worry about seeing them. He said it was ok, (I would have done it anyway).
At A Glance Author Black_opil Contact vakrul@cox.net When It just happened Artist Chad Webb Studio Sportsmans Tattoo Studio Location Crestview FL When I got to work I pulled them out and put them in the autoclave right away, with some needles and forceps, and set the timer for 35 minutes. I went back into our room and started to set up. Chad was little late but that was ok, I was ready for weeks.
I had read countless anatomy books, and medical healing books, etc etc... When he arrived he looked a little skeptical. He had never done a Surface piercing like this on the back. But we kept going. He lined it all up and marked me. Then I started to move and wiggle my back to show him how it will move, and the marks were perfect.
I lay down on the piercing table, while he went in the back to retrieve the recently sterile commodities. Fresh needles, barbells and forceps. I was ready to do this stuff. I grabbed the table legs tightly and let him commence in the process.
The first one started up high right under my tattoo on the lower part of my neck, upper back. The clamps were the most painful part. Very tight and very crushing. The needle went through and then the jewelry. When he was finished he asked me how I was doing and if I wanted to continue I simply said "HELL YA, BRING IT" He continued down my spine piercing and piercing.
The 7th one was a problem, He started to push the jewelry through and I sneezed really hard and the needle popped out and the jewelry kind of went strait down. It hurt like hell, but Chad just laughed and said "I can see it on the front page now "BODY PIERCER ENGAGES IN UNLISCENSED SPINAL TAP"" He pulled the jewelry out and just decided to put another needle through.
The blood immediately started to just pool up on my back. He started to apply pressure and put gauze down to soak up my mess. He continued down and decided to come to that one later. When the 10th one went in (small of my back) I clinched pretty well. That hurt a lot.
He returned to the seventh and put another needle through the whole (2nd needle) He fucked up again, and just grabbed a taper, he slid it through with no problem at all, he popped the jewelry in, cleaned me off and told me to get the hell up and check them out. They were Awesome, much better than I had thought. We continued the days work and shut down at night.
When I got home, I showed my dad, and he was HELLA PISSED.But I didn't care. I cleaned them off. I put on a new clean shirt and slept on my stomach! But in the morning I woke on my back all tangled up in my blanket :(... The next mornings' shower was awesome; it felt good to have that metal Heat up so fast. Kind of COOL! Reclothing myself was a bitch and a half. Moving my arms backwards and up was alitle more challenging that I would have ever thought. But I conquered my clothing and went to college, and just started Blinging to everyone.(Some people need to accept this stuff) I got a few good remarks, and of course a few nasty ones. Chad's girl goes to college with me, so i showed her and she became instantly curious and interested in piercing her back. So I turned her on to a corset and she immediately asked if I would do it, and I accepted.
Over the next few days I started making an entire bath, and poured 2-3 cups of Epsom Salt (magnesium Sulfate) to help sooth my back pains and even helps alittle of the healing process. The ones up in between my scapula hurt the most, due to the fact that I'm a full time student at a local college and a body piercer. Chad even helps me clean the damn things. We used Bactine liquid drops, and Dr. piercings Aftercare swabs, and even wiped the entire area clean with some good ole fashioned GREEN SOAP;FEEL THE BURN!
Remember, Before you go to get a surface piercing, Know the risks, the pain, and the amount of care u need to apply to it. Suface piercings have an extremely high rejection rate. So make sure u know what you want, and always listen your piercing artist and show his work off proudly!
