A guy like you should wear a warning.
Ok, so I was watching MTV last night.. it was real life, "I'm ghetto" or something like that. I didn't know the real title, well anyway, all I could think was, "Ok if this woman could afford to wear clinque makeup that ranges from 20-30$, then why couldn't she afford birth control pills or something. Lol, she has like 5 kids and one on the way. Maybe I'm just mean.
Me, myself, having kids kinda scare me. I see it as trying new food. I'll try one, to see if I like it enough to have another. I'm not ready to have kids yet. =P
I got a new barbell for my tongue the other day! ^_^ Its blue titainum with a clear gem on the top ball. I was happy with the price I paid, which was $21. I've been reading a lot of message boards that say you usually get what you pay for when it comes to body jewelry. The lady and the piercer at the store kinda made me feel bad though...
Heidi - "I'll take one of these please."
Lady - "Alright. Will that be all for you?"
Heidi - "Well I don't know if you remember me be I got my tongue pierced 3 weeks ago, and this will be my first time changing it. I was wondering if I could get this piece autoclaved, if you guys offer that service. Its my first piercing so I don't want to take any chances" *Looks uneasily at her*
Lady - "Well I don't know if we offer that service to the public. Usually we just offer the jewelry the way it is... um let me call the piercer."
*she walks away with a smile*
Piercer- "Hello."
Lady - "This girl just got her tongue picered and is changing it for the first time.. shes a little paranoid about germs and was wondering if we could autoclave it for her." *The lady smiled at me, a little laugh under her breath*
Ok at this moment I was daydreaming about me ripping her hair out. The way the words "Girl" and "Paranoid" came out of her mouth, it sounded like an insult. Ok maybe I don't look like all the freaks in the room with multiple piercings all over their faces. Gawd, if I took my parents here they'd faint.
But I had to keep my cool.
Piercer - "Hi, umm.... we don't usually autoclave our jewelry for people..."
Heidi - "I'm buying this piece. I'll pay you any charges that might apply..."
Piercer - *he moves closer to me* "I think you'll be fine with new jewelry even if its not autoclaved. hrm... what I can do it cold sterilize it for you."
Heidi - *frouns* Ok... Do I owe you anything?
Piercer - "Naw.. I'll be right back." *he eyes the small package containing my new barbell in my hand. I give it to him*
Heidi - Thanks...
I look at all the jewelry displayed. Wow.. so many designs I could put in my tongue.
Piercer - "Here you go." *He hands me my barbell now in two small plastic bags, the smaller one filled with a cold clear liquid.
Piercer - "Just wash it with hot water before putting it in. Oh and by the way, you don't really have to worry about autoclaving all your jewelry. I have many piercings, and I've never had to worry about putting in new jewelry that wasn't autoclaved."
Heidi - *frouning again* "Oh ok... I was just concerned because its a new piercing but thanks." *smiles at him*
The piercer just nods and walks away. He wasn't really friendly at all during the time I was talking to him.
Then a stranger says...
Man - "That was a good question." *He smiled, his labret and lip rings clearly visable*
I smiled at the man for making me feel better. I hate it when people treat me like I don't know anything. From reading the body piercing / tattoo message board on ezboard, and all the other guides to piercing online; They stressed getting jewelry autoclaved. But I guess maybe its not so important? Oh well.. next time I'll just buy my jewelry online or something, most sites offer autoclaving. ^_^
