Swedish Bean, how are your ears?

[Maisie]

is it time for piercing yet?

 

[Maisie]

Bumpety bump!

 

[that_someone_special]

Ohh Just saw this

I was SO TEMPTED to get them pierced over the weekend... but I need to be patient

I think I''m going to wait the full 8 weeks which should be about March 6th.
I plan on going in and seeing what the piercer says about the scar tissue (real piercer, not a mall one).. and go from there!!

They are looking really good, are not tender any more, and I think it should be a Go! .. not this weekend, but next weekend!


And, I''m 90% sure I''ve found the diamonds I''m getting

Thanks for asking!!!

 

[Maisie]

I knew it must be soon. I''m so excited for you! Are you scared it will hurt when you get them pierced?

 

[that_someone_special]

Just a little.

The left ear will most likely be pierced completely through scar tissue, but the right ear scarred a little less and it might be able to be avoided!

Thankfully, I did not develop any keloids or scar tissue on the outside of the skin- it''s all on the inside- so they''ll look a little prettier!

I''ve been anticipating getting them done to the point where I have A TON of earrings now

the dangly ones I don''t wear (yet) but the stud ones I''ve been wearing in the back holes.
It''s not quite the same, but looks better than it did!

I think it''s time to post an updated picture of the lobes, lemme take a picture and I''ll brb.

 

[that_someone_special]

I took these in our bathroom- which is green, so if my skin looks sickly, that''s probably why

 

[Maisie]

Ooh they look great! Don''t scars fade to a whitish colour over time? You won''t even see them soon! Roll on the many different styles of earrings! Especially the diamond ones!

 

[that_someone_special]

Yes they will fade more.. think they were a bit red because I was playing with them earlier (rubbing on the scar tissue to "break it up" as the doctor called it).

 

[Maisie]

Not long till piercing day. I can''t wait to hear how you get on. Take someone to hold your hand! Remember those gorgeous earrings and be brave!

 

[that_someone_special]

Whenever I have to go through things that cause pain, slight discomfort or anything like that, I like to remind myself of the end result, and pain goes away! (same for piercings, tattoos...)

I''ll make sure to post an update in a few weeks.. thanks again for asking Maisie!

 

[whitby_2773]

boy that''s an improvement, s_b! it''s healed so quickly!

make *sure* you post shots when you get them pierced; it''s going to look lovely; you have really prettily shaped ears!

 

[Maisie]

She does have pretty ears!

I am hoping to start my tattoo removal soon and I''m going to try and do what you do SB. Be brave and focus on the end result!

 

[that_someone_special]

Aww you gals are so sweet

Thank you whitby!

Maisie yes please do a thread with removal updates! I would absolutely follow it

Let us know how the tatoo removal goes! I have one that I want to take off because it''s too hard to cover up for work

and the pink dye in it causes a skin rash on me often

back on track...can''t wait to see your new diamonds SB!

 

[rockzilla]

Don''t forget to put sunscreen on your ears as they''re healing - will help with the fading process

 

[oddoneout]

Looks like they''re healing nicely.

 

[yssie]

They do look like they're healing nicely!



Just one word of caution, which I'm sure you already know but I just feel the need to say anyway- when you're getting them re-pierced please go to someone who knows how to pierce over scar tissue!


A friend got her navel done, it migrated and ripped out and left a scar that some idiot at the mall tried to just pierce over - apparently it hurt for days!
