It's a bright sunny Monday morning. I haven't really adjusted to being awake yet, so I ooze through the halls in my oblivious state. Suddenly my good friend comes up to me. Yes! Shes back! And she bought me the new stretchers I wanted!at that time, my ears were a minute 14g, which isnt bad considering I was at an 18 for the longest time. I take a peek at my new wonderful claws. Pink marbled acrylic, small black o-rings. 6g. Wait.... 6g?
"They were the smallest I could find" she says, and shrugs.
I shrug too, after all, I can't be to picky. I live in the middle of nowhere. I put on my devil-may-care smile, "God, I wanna put em in now. So, I head off to teh washroom, bright eyed and cluesless.
One deep breath.
Owowowowowowowoowwwww.
Let it out.
Another deep breath.
Owowowowowowowoowwwww.
Let it out.
My ears were now stretched. Not much pain at all. I wondered what the fuss was about stretching them too fast, no problems. then... Splat.
I start freaking and look in the mirror. DAMN! My left lobe was bleeding! All over. I clean up the blood, put some tissue over the bloody ear and wander off to wood-class. Not bad.
2 months later....
I'm browsing e-bay. Oh lord, theres some simply GORGEOUS acrylic marbled pale blue stretchers. I had to have them.
*click* *click* *type* *click*
Alll mine, oh yeah baby.
I wait two weeks, and then! YES! I rush up to my room, take out my black plugs and kiss em goodbye. *pop* *pop* Owowowowowow. =] I'm now at 2g, oh yeah.
At first they were sore, but I used a sea salt soak and I now massage them with my own mixture which works wonders! [I've also noticed it reduced the redness of my bellybutton scarring.] My mix is 1/4 tea tree oil, 1/4 water and 1/2 vitamin E oil. It's a truly wonderous mix.
Word to the wise, Don't stretch too fast, you could run into problems, like blood on your next math test. =P
Keep it surreal.
