This weekend, i got my cartilage pierced while my friend hannah got her an industrial piercing(don't know what that is...well look it up). yes, i know what you're thinking. how could i do this? easily. in my opinion, i picked the lesser of 2 evils. i wanted to get a tattoo but knew that my parents would absolutely horribly kill me if i got one so i decided on a piercing. i can wait to get a tattoo for when i move out. who knows, maybe i won't want it by then but probably still will. i originally wanted to get a nose piercing but silly me actually called my parents to ask. they shot down a nose piercing instantly. although, i still had to do some convincing with them to let me get my cartilage pierced. my constant argument was that both my sisters had gotten their cartilage pierced and that they both have more holes in their ears than i do. you can ask hannah. she was there while i was talking with them. finally they caved and said i could. although, even after they said yes my mom still tried to convince me not to. saying things like, don't you think you could be spending your money on something else...something more useful. needless to say, i still went ahead and got it. it was well worth it. i wasn't really expecting to have to get a ring. i was hoping for a stud but i can replace it later. all that matters is that i have it. and i love it! it didn't really hurt when i got it but on the car ride back. oh man. did it start to hurt. hannah and i at the same time started to be like AHHHH in the car. my ear was so on fire. we went to wally world to get bactine, which they didn't have, so we could clean our ears to keep them from being infected. however, we got antibacterial cream which works just the same. yay, no infected ear shall be coming my way. that would not be fun. so far, i have been good at cleaning my ear. hasn't really stung at all but my ear is still sore. but it's nothing i can't handle. i've had worse pain. that's all for now.
peace
