Metal Face

I just got a ring stuck through my face, and now I'm posting a picture of it. Horray! Let's all eat some cake. I'll post details later on.

Later on turned out to be ten minutes later, so here are the details:

I wanted an eyebrow ring since about two years ago. I'm not sure why really - I mean, I really like the way they look, and I guess it just appealed to me in the same way that getting my ears pierced did - it felt like it suited me.

Anyhow, I decided at the start of last week that I was going to get either the top of my ear or my eyebrow pierced, and started thinking about it. I really like piercings on guys on top of the ear, and it was slightly less out there than the eyebrow piercing was, but I really wanted to get something stabbed into my eyebrow. On Friday I checked with my work to make sure it was okay, and on Saturday headed down to Urge.

The dude that helped me was pretty deadpan, read me the instructions for care, explained the waiver that I had to sign (basically that I'm guaranteed everything clean and what not up to the piercing, but once I leave the premises, it's up to me to take care of it properly), and then we went into the piercing room and he set me up.

The whole process was pretty painless. I mean, having metal stuck through your face never feels great, but it was about as painful as getting my ears pierced was. My eyes immediately started watering, and I looked forward to leaving the room crying like a girl.

So now my eyebrow is pierced. I love it, it looks even better than I thought it would - just hope my Mom and Dad don't hate it too much.
