A scar for life?
.jpg)
Or the love for beauty that one can't explain?
I'd choose the latter.
Since lower secondary I've always thought it was unique in its own way. Also because I wanted to be special, because no one else around me has it.
My sis had one before. She did it before letting my parents know. They were furious about it. Her body rejected it and she had to take it out. It left a scar. A scar is permanent, a scar is ugly!
Yet after all the hoo-haa, I still wanted it. I had to make sure it was the right choice and not something I'd regret doing years later. That yearning to do so took years and days of research.
1. Which material has highest successful rate of non-rejection.
2. How to care for a piercing religiously, cleaning it twice a day, knowing takes an average of 6months to a year to heal.
3. Knowing that if you accidently get anything caught in it that it hurts like hell and may rip the whole skin into 2.
4. Knowing the body may reject it and that people try to pierce them again without success of keeping it.
5. Knowing that it burns a hole in your pocket.
6. Knowing that its important to go to a proper place with experienced and qualified professionals to get it done.
7. Knowing that there are people who are against it (or maybe even some that may stereotype us as promiscuous)
As a formality, I asked my mum if I could get it. It wasn't so much of a question as to whether I could do it or not. I told her I was preparing her for that day and I'd get it no matter what her viewpoint was.
I did it for myself, not for anyone else's sake.
Like an excited child being given a puppy. I was so happy, I took good care of it. I didn't play with it much (itchy hands don't behave sometimes) and it was pretty much a smooth road to recovery.
It's been almost 11months. I'm still the proud owner of my pretty jewelled stud and I still love to play with my ball bearing everyday (I dropped and lost mine once boohoo).
And if anyone would ever ask me if there is any point in time I regret making the move, I'd answer, I love every second of it!
So to my dear girl who wants to do it, please read up - be responsible, respect your body (In this I mean being committed to clean it everyday till it heals so it won't leave ugly marks!) and never never do it for the sake of any guy. Do it because you really want it for yourself k?
