i got a new piercing today! soooooooo cute! it's in my left ear and the technical name for it is a Helix. you can see a picture of one at http://www.bmezine.com/pierce/01-ear/A30730/high/iowepmsu.jpg if i knew how to do HTML i could possibly actually put the picture in here, but i don't so you'll just have to go and see it for yourself. the one i got (this isn't actually me by the way) is the one at the top, with the blue bead on it. i got it done at Adorned Precision Body Piercing on 17ave. (VERY good place to go!!! i very, very highly recommend it.) and i was actually surprised how little it hurt to get done. it was a little gross because i could hear the needle popping through all the layers of cartilige, but it really didn't hurt at all. most of my other piercings have been a sort of sharp needle-like pain, but this was just a sort of dull ache. AND IT'S SO CUTE!!! :> although, when i smile a certain way and when i open my mouth really wide, it makes my ears move, and so it kinda hurts it a bit. which is problem, because i smile.. a lot... but i don't care. i love it. and the guy that did my ear was very nice. he talked the whole time, i imagine to keep you calm, but it was almost phenominal how insanely calm his voice was. almost annoying actually.. that he could be shoving a needle through my ear and talk about it so calmly. but hey, that's better than him spluttering nervously and then saying oops very quietly.... something you NEVER want to hear in situations involving you and needles... or haircuts...
