and it didn't hurt!!!!

Well, I did it.

I got a Monroe.

I almost chickened out, I drove around town for ages after having spoken with Peggy, my piercer this morning. I came home, emailed Dave to make sure it was okey doke with him...then went back, paid the money and got it done.

Anyone who tell you it hurts is lying to you. This had to be the most pain - LESS piercing I've ever had (and I've had a few, some in some pretty darn sensitive places) All I felt was pressure, no pain at all really.

Now my lip is swollen a bit, but she put long enough hardware in to accomodate for that. I go back in a week and she'll change it out for a smaller one...FREE OF CHARGE!!! How awesome is that?!!

I also saw some jewellery that she had in her store...really fine, dainty little gems, exactly what I want to wear when it's all healed...

Anyway, I got it done, it didn't hurt, I'm icing it now and it throbs a bit, but not too bad....and I'm pretty pleased with it thus far.

I'll post pics when the swelling's gone down a bit.

Yay for me!! I got pierced!!!

I wonder why it is hard to post images in this "comment" space.

Rock-on dharmagirl.

wtg Dharma! I'm glad you did it. Looking forward to seeing the end-result!

It was $50, Trin...and like I said, she'll replace my hardware with a smaller size for free in a week. The other place in town was a little less, but they don't have any after care, so I went with Peggy @ Black Hills Tattoo and Piercing instead.

I took the ice off and it's still not painful..so far, so good!
