Poll You Be The Judge!

For your reference:
New Harmony. I have been before, but it was like 10 years ago, and you know how I am about socialism.

Piercing in Vincennes. This place comes recommended by Ainsley, who had her nose done and was pleased, so despite the site design, I trust her judgment.

I'm going to pick ear piercing so I can live vicariously through you. I need to get mine pierced again but I've had baaaad experiences. Twice. So I am being a chicken.

Yaaaayyy!!! It's Pixel omg! Yayyyy! :D

Dude, apparently you have no luck with your ears. D: These weren't, like, trip-to-the-ER bad experiences, were they?

It is my lot in life to be the focus of everyone's fantasies ;)

Hahah yeah I am back! It's been hectic. ;__

Oh, eww--poor Pixel, that's horrific. DDDD: I was 13 when I had the first holes put in, and my parents made me prove that I could take care of them first before they'd allow me to have it done, so I didn't have a whole lot of problems (other than that my right ear has had some Staying Open Properly issues; I finally gave up and keep earrings in it as much as possible so it doesn't close altogether).

Teeny bopper stores are horrifying. Your sensitive skin is probably at least partially at fault for the swollen lobes, but also, the ear piercing guns they use at those places can't be properly sterilized. (Rubbing alcohol does not get the job done.) Not, you know, to give you a case of the galloping paranoids or anything.

If you do decide to have them pierced again (eventually), I'd go to a reputable professional piercer. If they're on the up and up, they won't mind when you're all like SHOW ME YOUR AUTOCLAVE OMG.

Yarr for serious no more mall stores anymore. I found a few hardcore piercing places with good reputations that I could hit up. Just... scared. ^^

Will definitely write about it if I summon up the courage to go! Or at least twitter about it. XD I iz lazy mkayyyy

Anytime you're having somebody jab needles into your flesh, it's normal to be scared. XD Hell, if I'd had swollen earlobes and infection rashes, I'd be scared too.

I should ttly get back on Twitter. I have been SO BAD about social networking since, like, before Callice died or thereabouts. D:
