Body mod
xraytheenforcer hasn't been able to convince me to get a tattoo yet, but as a concession prize body modification (and because I just really wanted to) I have gone forth and been pierced. Again. And again. They're in the same ear, so I'll see if I can grab a picture when I'm back at the hotel. First, though, a little meal so I can sit and settle for a bit. It wasn't bad, but still a bit rougher than I expected.

Edited because I just realised that the picture has been rotated: The new ones are the anterior helix, the only captive bead ring and the one middle bottom in the picture, and one more to fill in the gap between the sequence of lobe piercings, so it's the left-most plain metal ball (not the diamondy one directly across from the tragus). So that brings the total to 14. What I really wanted instead of the single lobe piercing was two, one on either side of the imaginary line, sort of like what you see lower on the lobe in this picture. However, you can see there that that's already having to go through cartilage into the "inside" part of the ear, and the space where I wanted the two was even smaller. Based on that, the piercer said it was a no-go -- the outer one would migrate out right away, and the inner one would be bending and curving so much that it'd be just a pain and a half to heal. Oh well. I'll have to save it for an orbital for when I turn 40, or something.
