I have bits of metal stuck in my ears

During the afternoon today, I ended up at some tattoo place and now I have three new holes in my ears. I: That was pretty entertaining, though.
Upon getting there, I realized that they aren't all that professional. A note of one employee threatening to "end" the other hanging in the back room...jar of peanut butter just chilling out on a table...that kind of thing. However, stuff was packaged, she was wearing gloves, etc. so hopefully it was sanitary enough that I won't have to let these grow shut, too.

Three new piercings combined with newly dyed hair has made me look pretty different.

Oh, and if anyone is considering getting piercings, definitely have it done with a hollowed needle. I've had them done with both and it hurts so much less. I was actually chatting with someone while my cartilage was being pierced (with a hollowed needle) and they said that my facial expression didn't even change.

Ow... ow ow ow ow keep all needles away from me please D:

I always wanted a tattoo.

If you question their hygiene, I wouldn't second guess it and risk infection so here's to your piercings healing well!

Well, people I know have checked them out while trying to find someone decent around here to do piercings, and they said it all seemed fine.
That is, unless the employee(s) were lying. Hopefully not...cleaning the cartilage piercing is pretty unpleasant, so I'd rather not have to do all of this again haha.

Out of curiosity, though, how many peircings do you have now?
