piercing gone wrong!!

Alright guys, here's a tiny horror story for you that happened to me!!! lol.
About 2 n half weeks ago, I got my tragea peirced. Im gonna explain where it is incase im spelling it wrong or you dont know where that spot is. You know you got ur whole ear to pierce, from the lobe all the way up to the tip of the cartilage, but on the other side of ur ear hole, right where u would put ur finger in your ear, you have this tiny little piece of like cartilage or grissle. Thats what I got peirced. It looks like it would hurt soooo bad, but it really didnt. Getting my tongue pierced hurt a bit more than that one did. But anyways, Igot it pierced by a guy that I have known for years and years! I met him when I was first prego wit my daughter who is now 5, so I trusted him to do a great job, and he did! He put it back far enough like I wanted so that it wont get ripped out by a kid or like a hair brush or something. He did it fast, and he even swelled my head up by telling all his friends in there after we were done that I took it like a man! He told me to only use alcohol to clean it, seeing that it was in the spot it was in, that would be the best thing and would heal it 10x's faster! So the first few days it was great! It wasnt sore, I could twist it around when goobers would be all like "ouch that had to be soo bad to pierce!!". I could even sleep on it from the first night!! But slowly, after the first 4 to 5 days, it started getting more and more sore and tender. after 2 weeks I couldnt hardly touch it and there was alot of crusty shit! Finnaly, yesterday ing, I woke up late (round 9:30 is super late for a mom! lol) and it was so painful and crusted over that I went straight to clean it b4 I even went outside for my morning smoke. Before i started to clean it, I noticed how swollen it was and for some reason I grabbed it a squeezed it. Out came this milky pus wit a small touch of light green and it was really sticky like elmers glue almost dry or something, I was so freaked out, I jumped straight in the shower and stayed in there for like 25 mins cleaning it and washed my hair 2x's just incase the stuff had like leaked out into my hair over night! I was horrifide. I was gonna take it straight out and try again in a few months, but this feeling came over me that I really shouldnt take it out. So by the time I finished washing, getting dressed, and cleaning my ear with alcohol extra good again, it was after 10 am. I figured on a saturday morning, there had to be at least 1 or 2 tattoo shops with somebody there already, and lone and behold, after googling around, I called and got someone on the ohine at a high end tattoo shop the next town over in Madison. A place called No Regrets. I explained what was happening and gave her the story behind it, and she said that alcohol was the worst thing that u could have possibly put on there and told me that the alcohol was making scar tissue form around the hole and that leaving it in was really smart that I had did that, cause if it had closed b4 I got the infection out then i might have had to go to the hospital and alot worse could have happened! Then she was telling me some other stuff and the phone line just cut us off. I couldnt even get out on my landline cause of their phone messing up. So since I still had the pc screen on tat shops in Huntsville, this one kinda stuck out at me and I called it. It was called "The Tattooed Lady". This girl named Sky answered and I explained all over again what was going on and told her that I had talked to the othe shop and got cut off. This chick was so cool about the whole situation!! She told me to not use anymoe alcohol, leave the piercing in, and as soon as my man got home and I had a ride to the shop, to please come down and let them check it out and they would try theyre best to help me! I asked her how much cash I need to take with me and she said that it was free of charge, that they just wasted to help me out! I thought that that was so cool and jst professional as hell!! She treated me, even just on the phone, with such kindness and real sincere want to just help out!!!
My car is messed up (zanax and driving to the gas station up the street dont mix! LMAO!) so I am having to share cars wit my husband. So 2 hours later when he got off work, I went over and got my moma just incase these people were all like "go straight to the ER!!". I was nervous as hell! Then me and her headed down south pway right beside Firehouse Antiques, down south about a quarter mile from weatherly road to the tattoo shop. When I got there, I met Sky, beautiful chick with LONG blonde hair and a really small petite frame. She remembered me right off and said she had been waiting on me. As soon as she seen this piercing, she was speechless. She asked me to wait just a min and she went and got this guy that looked to me like he was the owner, but I dont no. He looked at it and immediately started telling me what to to! I can save the piercing! He said that the infection from the alcohol on this deep piercing was really bad, but he said that he could tell that I had been trying my best to take good care of it, so that made me feel great! He said that I would need to go to like walmart or CVS....somewhere like that. I needed bactine to use 3 to 5x's a day, no more. And wash it 2x's a day with soap and water like I was already doing. But 4the first few days, I need wound wash, like that shit you use on old people to clean their bed sores and on kids to clean out DEEP booboos! That is terrible that my piercing got that bad and that infected after I took such good good care of it all over someone not knowing what to tell a customer to use to clean and care for their piercing or whatever they had done there! You no,if you get a tattoo done and the aftercare isnt maintained properly, the tattoo will heal, but it will look really bad, no matter how bad or wonderful it looked at first!! And with a piercing in the spot I got it done, if I wasnt cleaning it good, I couldve eventually had to get that piece of cartilage cut off!! I took care of it really well, and just with the wrong thing, I could have lost that small part of my ear anyways!
 Those people at the tattoo shop, The Tattooed Lady, they told me that some of the irratation (spelled wrong!) could be just some cheap jewelry. They said its not really s big deal with most people, expecially since everyone takes out theyre piercing jewelry and gets something else soon as possible! But when I told him that I was allergic to cheap jewelry, and that I get really bad rashes from fake jewelry, he told me that he would be more than happy to put a high grade piece of jewelry in it so that it would help it heal that much better. I gotta wait a week or a week n half, til this gross infection is healed up, then he will run the good jewelry in thru there and he is only gonna charge me $5. He said he just wants me to have a good experience with my piercing and make sure it heals right so it will look really cool! Those are some really cool people! God Bless that the phone got disconnected and I found them!!! I think I am just gonna use them from now on for my tats and any piercings I ever decide to do. I got two tats that I need to get fixed up. One of them is a butterfly that looks like its made out of dots! lmao! Almost looks like I been in prison or something, cause it looks like a prison tattoo. I got the butterfly for my moma, and I want it to look good! The other one was supposed to be a sun and its on my foot. I got it like 4 yrs ago, I paid the guy in zanax and the dumbass took the 4 bars b4 he started the tattoo! He started with yellow, didnt do no black outline, which I thought was stupid at the time, but now that I am having to get it redone, Im proud that theres no black in it! That will make it easier to to fix. Right now its just a yellow line wit a couple little touches of orange. It would have been one ugly ass tattoo if I woulda let him finish! But when I seen just how terrible the tat was looking when he was doing it, I started pretending that it was hurting me really bad so I could stop the tat without hurting his feelings! LOL! I cryed out and hollered like a bitch! Ol Joey Rodriquez is the one that did it. I dont no if he can do tats when he is straight, but on 4 bars, he will will do some UGLY ASS WORK!! It looks like I got puss under the skin in a lil spot on my right foot. You dont really notice it too bad though, thank goodness!! But then I got one Tattoo that I need to get completely covered up!! I always wanted to get a 1940's pinup girl on my left thigh. But my cousin does real good work and I was drunk as Cooter Brown and let my cousin put my husband's nickname on my thigh. Everybody calls him Shorty, hell thats all I ever called him, but "Doowap" is my little pet name for him, and that is what I put om my thigh, "Doowap". My hubby thought it was so sweet at first, but that lasted bout a min n half! Now he makes jokes bout it!!! He will say stupid shit bout, "eww gross, u got doowap on ur leg!!" like I got nutt on my leg!! He even says it in front of people. So I am getting it covered up b4 I get any other tats! I am gonna try to see of the guys down at The Tattooed Lady can cover t up with some sort of pin up and use her hair as the part of tat that covers up the other tattoo!!! That would be neat.
I want alot of tattoos,I even wanna get my nipples pierced. But I just aint into piercings since I have grownup. I had a toungie ring for like 12 years. I took it out cause my front teeth got bad for awhile. Now I feel like I am too old for it, even though Im just 28, it really does seem to young for me! But when it comes to tats, I think they r timeless!!  Once I get those fixed that I told you about, I got soo sooo many ideas!!! I already told u guys bout the ones I wanna add to my wrist tats of my kids names. A purple butterfly above my girl's name and a superman imblem above my son's name. From there, I got losts of ideas!
Well guys, time for me to go. Time for some icecream!!!
until next time!!!
