A Little Birthday Present For Myself
I made a decision I wanted my nostril pierced 1 or 2 months before my birthday. I had a stud acquired and everything, but I was not heading up to any towns around then and the old lady certainly wouldn’t let me get it if I asked her. I was desperate after I got some bad news, so I even attempted to do it myself with some sterilised piercing needles I received from a pal, since getting piercings makes me smile. I just couldn’t do it, it might go in about 1/2 way and I’d chicken out. I do not even think it might have been straight or anything.
I had some nice marks that looks like zits from hell for awhile. I actually can’t self pierce and I wouldn’t get it done in Dryden as the piercer here wasn’t superb then ( she took a 2 day course in the states, had no apprenticing at all ). I realized I’ve a nice nose, so it merits a shiney ring, I believe nice body parts should be decorated. For my birthday I asked to go to Toronto to go to my mate Kara for a week. My mum concluded, and since I was turning eighteen, I thought I could get pierced by myself. I got there a couple of days before my birthday and I presumed I might need to wait till my birthday to get something done, but I discovered legal age in Ontario for most piercings is sixteen, so the night that I got there, Kara and I made our way down to a piercing shop that night to get some nostril piercings while I was out searching for a grad dress. We walked down Queen street I suspect till we found a place she knew was good and walked within. I was my standard excited self before I am getting pierced, so everybody potentially needed to shoot me, but I like that sense of the needle going thru. We signed the papers and such, paid, I went with a ring and Kara went with a stud. I made a decision on the ring because it wouldn’t have to buy another stud, and I just decided at the very last minute a ring would look better. I recollect now the piercer was a girl. I made a decision I wanted it on the right side because I only have my left nipple ring left, so I needed to balance. I went first, sat on the bench and stuck out my nose for the clamps. When she first put the clamps on it stung. This is the part that makes me truly giddy, so I most likely had a big grin on my face. I attempted looking down at my nose to observe the needle come out as she went from the interior to the outside, but that made my dizzy being crosseyed. I expected it to be like my septum piercing, which stung and my eyes watered when I got it done, nonetheless it truly was not bad at all, my eye just watered a bit. She put the ring in and I was one satisfied person.
The ring basically stung a little going in, but that was done in 2 seconds. It healed well and fast too, except I typically would sleep on that side of my face, so it’s a bit tough to become used to something being there, fortunately I had my extensions in, so I had to sleep on the back of my head. Now I do not even notice it when I’m sleeping.
The sole drawback to it is that I am getting colds a lot, so now thats the side of my nose that runs all of the time, and the opposite side is stuffed, so it is getting a bit irritated, but nothing heavy. I used to get it caught on things a lot too, like my hair and garments.
That hurt, but now I will tug on it rather good without it injuring.
I’m super happy with this piercing, a good call for me I believe. I should doubtless get the opposite side done too, that usually looks good. I told my mum I got it done before I returned home, she was less than excited, as she’s with the majority of my piercings I have got done. It’s not like I am putting needles in me to inject drugs or anything, but she figures that its just about as worse. She probably did her disapproving sound over the telephone and expounded “Brittanyyyy”, but I told her after my birthday and I was now eighteen and can make my very own calls like that. She did not think so.
When I got home she made more disapproving noises when she first seen it, nonetheless it grew on her I suspect, she even likes it when I where a stud in it.
