Now it's time for my right daith piercing experience. Here goes... Two weeks had gone by since I had got my left tragus pierced and I was already itching for another piercing. I was going to get my right tragus pierced and then decided that I wanted something different and went for the daith. Me and my two older sisters jumped in the car and headed down to get it done, but on the way we got into a car accident! I was devastated because it was now the end of the school holidays and I knew that if I didn't get it done that day I would have to wait another week, until the weekend.
The next weekend I was with one of my sisters at the shop about to get it done. We waited around for about 20mins while the guy was doing a tattoo, then we realised that he had heaps more chicks to tattoo before he could pierce me. So we went down to this other store and luckily there was noone in there. I told the guy what I wanted and he said that he only had straight needles and that he needed a curved one to do this. I told him to do it anyways, I didn't care, I had waited long enough!
We went out the back and he got all his shit ready. It was a little bit weird because I was sitting up when I was getting pierced, and all the other times I had laid down (except for my four lobes). But my worries soon went away when I saw that there was a mirror on the wall and by sitting up, I could watch the whole process.
He marked my ear and then clamped it and stuck the needle through, didn't hurt much at all. He went to put the ring through and found that it would go. He screwed around with it for a while and still, it would go. He pulled the needle out and put a curved roddy-thing through to try to shape the hole so it was curved. He went to put the ring through again, still it wouldn't go through. He stuffed around some more and then got a new needle and pierced it again (I think to make the hole bigger) and went to put the ring in and then... that bitch finally went through! It was a 16ga CBR, the same as in my tragus.
After that was all finished, he apologised even more (he couldn't stop) and again told me how good I went to put up with all that shit. But to tell you the truth, it didn't really hurt. Anyways, I was with my sister who is 21 (5 years older than me) and she has wanted her navel done for a while now. She took me to get mine done 3 years ago and has wanted one ever since. I finally convinced her to get it done that day, mind you- I paid for it! She was REALLY scared, but I have to say she did really well.
Well, that's my story. My daith is now a week old and I absolutely LOVE it. Although, sadly my sister's navel is now infected. My next piercing: an industrial. I just have to convince my parents. Then in two months I am getting my tongue. Not sure yet what is after that, but I'll be sure to write about whatever it is!
