Oof, I am a bit late on my journals. But it is never to late to talk to you, journal. There is always so much to say and let out. Anyways, I finally got my first piercing. Well, aside from my two earlobe piercings, I finally was able to make a decision on my own and do something I wanted to do to my body. I guess that’s kind of the good thing about being 18. Right? I had decided to get the industrial piercing on my left ear. This piercing is one the most painful piercings, especially because it’s 2 holes in your cartilage.

On the way to my piercer, I was shaking and anxious. But my cousin was there to try to calm me down and convince me to just do the piercing. Once we got to the piercing place, I was asked to sit down and my piercer just explained the process of the piercing and the steps I should take after I am pierced to take care go my ear and my new earring. I wasn’t really able to focus because I was just so scared of having a needle go through my cartilage. My piercer told me to not tense myself up, so I tried to relax and he didn’t even count down before inserting the needle. But it did’t hurt like I imagined it would. However, the second hole hurt a bit more. But it was all over so quickly and I was so happy with how my piercing looked. The only thing I am terrified about is having my ear get infected because this piercing gets infected easily and quickly.
