Near miss...

Had a near miss last night whereby in a moment of absentmindedness I almost pulled my nose screw out, fortunately my brain kicked in at the last minute before any real harm was done but it goes to show how easy it is to do something stupid when we are not really thinking. I also changed my barbell in my ear rim for a straight one after ages of wearing the circular ones. They tend to feel the most comfortable which is why I stick to them and they look more obvious which I like but thought it was time for a change. In my naivety before getting my ear rim done I thought that when body piercings had healed they would be just like normal lobe piercings, how wrong can a girl be? After much trawling through various forums on the subject and from personal experience, it transpires that body piercings are a whole new breed of animal. They are happiest when they are left well alone which means not changing the jewellery several times a day and finding the “right” material for the jewellery, mine does not seem to appreciate steel, and of course trying to get the size right too. All these things apart from type of material, are of course immaterial in terms of normal earrings. Apart from a time when plastic earrings were all the rage years ago I’ve never found anything I couldn’t wear in my ear lobes. Though obviously they have been done for more years than I care to mention whereas my body piercings are a new and interesting addition to moi. Lets hope if I choose the tattoo pathway it is an easier journey ;-)
