Surprised?

So yesterday I did something many people would not expect me to do.

I GOT MY NOSE PIERCED!

It hurt really badly, but it looks so cute! I love it!

But this morning when I woke up, it was sticking out of my nose and I was worried something bad was going down, but I called the place where I got it pierced and they told me to just push it back in! Haha :) I'm going to take really really good care of it so that the scar tissue doesn't build up and I don't get hypertrophic scarring or a keloid. That would be horrible! It's the only thing I'm worried about.

And my parents weren't too thrilled when I told them. They freaked out, but at the same time they were also understanding. My mom's response (this was before I got it pierced and I told her I was going to) was a lot of whining and saying stuff like "Why would you do this? I never thought one of my kids would want that! Why are you doing this to yourself? I would tell you no, but you're an adult now and I can't!" and then my dad's response (this was after I got it pierced and I told him I did it) was "This is all a joke right? You're just kidding with me right?" and then once I convinced him I actually did it he was like  "Were you drunk? Were you on drugs?" and once I convinced him I was completely sober he finally said "Well I guess everybody needs something to show off their individuality and make them unique."

But it's really not that bad. It's not super noticeable, and the good thing is if I decide I don't like it, I just take it out, the hole closes up, and I go on like nothing happened. But I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon. ;)

Well here's some pictures of each stage of the process :) Enjoy

 Pre-piercing nerves


Piercing! It was SO painful!
If you look closely, you can see the needle that just went through my nose in front of his left index finger.


Pierced Nose!
