One day after my mom had told me that we were moving, I asked for a body piercing for about the magillienth time in my life. To my complete shock, she said 'okay, what do you want done?' I couldn't believe it and so i decided on an eyebrow ring, because she wouldn't let me get my tongue and it seemed like everybody at my school was getting a nose ring. My brother's girlfriend has her tongue and her naval pierced, and she told me where to go. She was supposed to go with me, but the situation wouldn't allow it. We went to this place called Eyewitness Tattoo. My brother says they're the best because the supposedly had this awesome tattoo artist about 5 years ago. Anyway...there were some scary guys sitting in the little entrance room and they were pretty rude. I'm really shy too, so I didn't really know what I was supposed to be doing anyway. My mom and my little sister and my mom's friend stayed in the little room where there's this cool little window to look in and watch, and watched it get done. I didn't get to see it done, he made me close my eyes. I felt the little clamps and after that, he was like, okay, in a voice that made me think that he was done, and so I got relaxed really fast, and then he stabbed the needle through. Everybody that was watching made a bad sound and I thought that maybe he accidentally yanked it, come to find out, he didn't. About a month later, my eyebrow ring had been rejected and he said that I should let it heal and he would pierce it again for free. I came back with my mom's other friend and my little sister and got it done again. As I sit here, I'm pretty mad because after having it for almost 3 months, it's coming out AGAIN. I can't believe it. It hurt so bad the second time that my eye watered and the second time was the only time that I bled. I didn't wash it for a few days actually, it was really easy to take care of. I washed it like it was a god the first time, but this time, I hardly even thought twice about it. If you can get it done, i suggest you go get it done right now. It's the greatest thing that I've ever done. Even if it turned out bad, I still have a nasty scar from the ring moving all the way out.
