OK, so exactly 7 days ago, I got myself a new piercing…

Well, I didn’t get one… I did it myself…

I love piercings so much, I decided to make my own at home…

So, I equipped myself with a safety pin (how punk is that?!) and a pretty cyber blue (what other colour?) ring, a t-shirt to use as a cloth, and some rum to clean the equipment and numb the area (and my brain, 53.5% ABV isn’t going to waste!), I set about looking into the mirror to locate where I was going to put the damn thing…

I decided on my left lobe, next to the tunnel that’s already in place there, the first piercing I had done all those years ago, when I was only 6 years old…

Pain.

It was actually a good experience, and didn’t hurt half as much as when I got my cartilage done 5 times in one sitting… It feels really strange piercing yourself. It’s pretty cool having someone else do it, taking it out of your control, but it’s strange to be in control of your situation in that manner…

I’m definitely going to do some more in the near future.
