It all started out with the notorious left earring, around the age of 12. My
parents flipped and totally hated it. A few years later, age 16, I was rather
curious and was fascinated by body jewelry. I went out and got my industrial
project. It was pain less and rather enjoyable. It was done horizontally and
the only problem was that my piercer used a barbell that was way too short for
my ear. This caused irritations and keloids. I finally bought a longer nice
dice barbell, much more comfortable. After I got that I went out and got my
tragus pierced, 16ga. This wasnt enuff so I went a month later and got my
right nipple pierced, 14ga. I love it. The sensation is great and it looks
awesome. It healed in 2 weeks without any problems. Two months later I went
and got my ear stretched from a 12ga to an 8 ga. There was no pain and the
results are good so far. I love all my piercings because it shows my
originality. Out of all my holes, my tragus is the most difficult one to take
care of. I developed a keloid on it and it bleeds every once and a while. I
get crusties on it and I use sea salt to try to get rid of it. I recommend
that with any cartlidge piercing to be very careful and clean it well because
if you develop a keloid then yur screwed. It can take up to a year for it to
go away and its not a pretty sight.
