Piercings are funny things, one minute they are all calm and serene and ticking along nicely, the next they are tetchy and crying out for extra TLC! I guess its all too easy to bump them or catch them accidentally and that usually sets them off again, unless they’ve been done for years that is. Its funny that the studio’s give you a sheet which mentions a relatively short time span for the healing process and yet in fact this time is more like the INITIAL healing period not the whole thing. I’ve read that it takes about three times the length of time they quote as the healing process is in three stages. There are times with mine when I wonder why I did it, and then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and fall in love with them again ;-) I read on someone’s post that they didn’t really know why they got their nose pierced but that once done it felt like they were complete and I knew exactly what they meant. Perhaps it stems from our desire to make ourselves seem unique, as children we find security in being the same as everyone else, we don’t want to appear different, and yet as adults we strive to put our mark on things around us and “be different”. Perhaps its also a touch of the shock factor, at least for some piercings and their placements it must be, but each to their own is my motto.
I’ve had some marginal success with trialling my tattoo design too although the adhesive on the tattoo paper is a tad irritating given my sensitive skin. I really like the design so think that’s what I’ll go for, size wise it’s more or less a square image so I think I printed it at about 2.5 inches square which is quite a good size. It could maybe be a tad bigger but then my arms aren’t that big so don’t want it to dominate that area and I need to be able to at least hide it under a T-shirt sleeve if necessary.
