Piercing adventures

For the last month or two I've been thinking about getting a helix piercing. It's not the sort of thing I would usually do, but I think they're pretty cool. Lobe piercing has been done to death, and some piercings I won't mention here are just weird, but helix piercings are in the good position of being not too common but not as hard to look after as, say, a lip piercing (which I also briefly considered).

When I had exams on I decided to go do it after I'd finished all my exams. I ended up not doing it for a while because I couldn't really spare the money, but a couple of days ago I finally decided to just do it, and yesterday I went and got it done. I went to Polymorph in Newtown, and in a stoke of good timing I checked their website the night before and they had a voucher on the site for $10 piercings. So that saved a bit of money.

The whole thing was pretty quick and simple. I was in and out in about twenty minutes. The needle hurt a bit going in but no more than the needle they stick in your arm when you give blood. I was kind of expecting it to hurt for a while afterward but by the time I left it didn't even feel like anything.

Here's a photo. It's a bit blurry but I guess that's the best my laptop's webcam can do.



In other news: My new cartoon is coming along. There's still a lot to do, so it'll be at least another couple of weeks if not more. Hang in there.
