Getting a new piercing is always an experience, speaking from personal experience. This fall, I decided to get a helix piercing- the only other piercing I have besides my lobes.
There is so much going through your head before, during, and after. Here are the stages of getting a new piercing, broken down!
1. I wanna be REBELLIOUS.
2. Man, I've wanted a piercing for a while.
3. LET ME BE REBELLIOUS.
4. I think I want to get my ____ pierced.
5. *aggressively/obsessively looks up pictures of said piercing on internet*
6. *finds gross picture of infected piercing*
7. Okay, maybe I don't want to do this.
8. No, I REALLY want to do this.
9. Okay, I'm gonna do this.
10. Sorry, mom.
11. Is this going to hurt?
12. Maybe I shouldn't do this.
13. No, I WANT TO DO THIS. I AM GOING TO DO THIS.
14. My ___ is so plain. Time to spice it up.
15. Come on, WOMAN UP. You can do this. PHEW.
16. OMG, that's a needle.
17. THAT IS A BIG NEEDLE.
18. *SQUEEZE*
19. Phew, that wasn't so bad.
20. My ear feels really warm.
21. Damn, I FEEL SEXY.
22. Oops, I want another piercing.
