Starting now, my tattoos and piercings are no longer tied to my weight loss goals. I'm just getting them whenever I damn well please. They have nothing to do with weight loss and everything to do with expressing myself and I'm tired of repressing that just because I'm struggling with the extra pounds.
The photoshoot and wedding dress trip rewards remain in tact; they are directly related to weight loss because they will showcase my hard work. So I'm not giving up; just rethinking.
So on the topic of piercings, I recently got a new one.
So I get asked the inevitable question, "Did it hurt?"
For those of you who do not do piercings, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. They all hurt. Sometimes the actual needle stick isn't so bad; but putting the jewelry into freshly wounded skin always hurts.
"Well, sometimes when I ask that question people say no."
When they say "no," they don't really mean no. When you get a piercing, all the endorphines released by your brain cause you to forget just how much it hurt. Let me explain what the answers really mean.
| When a piercing enthusiast says this: | What they really mean is this. |
| No, it didn’t hurt at all. | Someone stabbed me with a needle. Yes it fucking hurt. But not bad enough that I wouldn’t do it again right now, because LOOK AT THIS IT’S AWESOME. |
| Not as bad as I expected. | Do you see where this is? Give that area on yourself a little pinch. Sensitive, isn’t it? Now imagine sticking a needle through it. What you’re imagining? It’s like that. |
| This one hurt a little bit. | Yeah, this one was a motherfucker. |
| Yeah, it hurt pretty bad. | This one felt like they stabbed me with a splintered wedge of wood dripping with acid. And then set me on fire. |
