I'm bored and stuff, so am gonna stick some photo of my implants being done up here.
Because it's interesting. To me at least. And I like remembering it.
All these pics were taken by Neko. Who held my hand as well.
This is Jussi, the man who did it all. He pierces [and more] at
Paradise in Helsinki and at
Mad Max in Tampere.
Our implants were done at Mad Max, on the second day of out stay in Finland.
This picture of Jussi was actually taken at Paradise, when we were getting piercings there. But nevermind.
[lots more photos behind the cut]
Basically, for my implants, an incision was made in my chest. Then a tunnel//pocket of skin was opened up and stretched to fit the implant in. Once the implant was inserted the incision was closed with sutures. Sounds simple. Took about 30-45 mins I think...and was the most painful and amazing thing I have ever experienced.
Not entirely sure whats going on here. Just that Jussi is hurting me lots :)
I think this is either the cutting at the beginning or the stitches at the end.
I was suprised by how much the stitches hurt...I think it's because I just wanted it all to stop by that point, and was close to not being able to take any more.
This is the skin being stretched. Yes I am smiling. I spent alot of the time laughing and swearing. Heh.
Close up of this picture
here.
This is the second round of stretching. Where some big huge metal thing was shove down my chest! Jussi needed to make sure the tunnel was of even size all the way down, and this is how he did it. Eeep.
Implant going in. Another pic of that can be found
here.
I like how I look in this pic...
Finished and waiting for stitches.
It actually didn't swell up too much, nor was there huge amounts of bruising. Lucky I guess.
I just like this photo. It's kinda like being in a very cool hospital. Having Neko with me and having been friends with Jussi before made the whole thing lots of fun and I wasn't really nervous.
Aw, I kinda miss the experience. Pushing my limits and going through some amazing senstations to achieve something I have wanted for ages, and that I think is beautiful.
Thank you to Jussi for this.
Meep...I've gone all emotional about it.
Btw, it was all done without any anesthetic//painkillers. I am hardcore....y0.
