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!
