pierced pains, 8.3.24

my nose piercing has been sinking for the past two weeks. i’ve had it since february, so it doesn’t make any sense why it’s sinking. i dm'ed arcadia piercing last week but didn’t have time to stop by until today. it was such a headache to find parking in that area, but after 20 minutes of searching, the job was complete. i walked-in and the ladies were so kind. they were able to switch out my piercing on the spot and give me a new one. i’ve always wanted a white gold pave diamond, but the place where i got my original piercing only had yellow gold with a cz. they also switched my piercing from a corkscrew to a flatback labret. it feels much better and much lighter, but damn when she took the original piercing out it hurt crazyyyyyyyy. she said that there was build-up on my original piercing on the inside so that may have pulled the piercing down. i tried to clean my nose with a cotton swab every night, but i obviously didn’t do a good job at all lmao. 30 minutes later, i was out and on my way to get something to eat and hang out with the usual suspects.
here’s to hoping it heals fast and without complications.

i’m excited to have the exact piercing i want for my nose, now it’s time to do the same for my ear.
