So today is Fri. 13th and if you're superstitious.... im sorry, maybe you should just stay home. Me on the other hand I took full advantage of the day. In my area there were three or four tattoo shops doing the $13 for certain tattoos and piercings, I mean how can anyone pass up a deal like that??
well, as you can see, I got my tongue and because it wasn't on the list for $13 I paid for $20 it. But shoot, that's still a great deal. I was gonna get one of my tattoos detailed, but they told me to come back on another day to get that done. lol oh well. Oh yea my good buddy Momo was there too. She was such a trooper in there, getting four piercings in one day. If you read her posts, she'll openly express her love for body modifications.Maybe in the future ill up it to a double tongue piercing...maybe. The way i'm going I wont be getting into the military now.
Oh yea, the 2nd part of this post ill put up a mini guide for those for just got one and who are thinking about it.
First off, this is like one of those "get it on a friday or saturday" type things. What I mean by that is once its pierced you have now signed over your comfort level to the said piercing. As soon as I got out of the chair my tongue felt stiff and sore, and that was only the beginning, BUT it'll only be for a week. After that the swelling goes down and you'll be use of the feeling. If you're anything like me you won't want that extra distraction during work or class.
Now when you get home, I bet the first thing that comes to mind is...What can I eat with a fresh piercing?... Well im here to tell you that you can eat whatever the hell you want!!! lol Whats the catch you say?? .....mouth wash and plenty of water.
Seriously, what you eat is on you. Most people choose to eat only soft foods like soups, oatmeal, raman etc, because it feels better. I bought chicken nuggets, not really thinking about it and I must say I struggled on those 10 nuggets lol. So the mushy food for me too. From what I gathered, limit yourself on spicy foods, salt, smokes and beer. After every meal get some mouth wash add water and swish!
Ever heard of Gly-Oxide? This bad boy will slow down scar tissue formation.
Oh and multi-vitamins can also speed up the healing process.
The last thing I wanna add....you'll become a drooler if you don't pay attention haha. Be prepared when people start asking to see your new accessory.
Thats all for now, I hope I helped out in any way. If you have any questions don't be shy, leave a comment.
.........Kappuccino Out......
