OK, i was looking on this site saw this piercings and fell in love with it! I don't know why but i was so cool looking and didn't seem to painful. I went to the Black Wave Piercing Studio.*where i live* I had your run of the mill nervousness. Went up the uneven stone steps inside the hot room(lol no ac). The guy at the front desk was very nice but when i asked how much a snug was he was like... a snug.Lol the name is weird, he looked in his handy dandy notebook and saw it(it kinda looks like a rook). I waited. And then my friends noticed that the piercer(behind the closed door, he came out) was the bassist of O'Rock, a band that plays around here. He played at Battle of the bands and did all sorts of crazy things on the bass while midly drunk!(he said the beer was cheap! Hes been playing for over 15 years). So it was an honer to be pierced by him lol. I went in asked him how it goes, decided to get it more side ways instead of acros. Took a deep breath and felt it pierce through, its just likea cartilage piercing, pains over in 3 seconds. Doesn't really hurt that badly, i'm just glad i didn't flinch or anything. It hurt when he took the needle thing out and put the jewlry in(just a pinch) and then Another PINCh when he scewed the ball in. AHhahahah. That remeinded me of when i got my tongue pierced and the guy did the same thing. Now its been a day and half. It hurts if people TOUCH it or flick IT,AHH. But it should heal... eventually. It looks very cool and pretty much unique. The only bad thing is that i can't sleep on the right side now MEOW! Maybe in the future?? *gasp*sigh*. Look at pic in pic gallery. YAY for cool piercings! I LOVE YOU JASON, he couldn't be there. Peace
