I Got Stabbed in the Face!

So I had this idea for a new tattoo, and I went into the shop as soon as I could. While I was waiting for my artist, I saw another employee with a gorgeous cheek piercing and asked if they did that. The piercer said he could do that for me while my tattooist was getting ready, and while their stock of jewellery didn’t offer a lot of choice on that day, I did see something in a gorgeous blue colour and went with that. But after it was in my face, I realized it was actually a pretty prominent spike, and while the hue worked for me, the overall form did not. Unfortunately, most of the people in the shop informed me that I’d have to wait for two months at least to change the piercing, which didn’t sit totally well with me. Then the piercer said “Well, it’s risky, and it might suck because of all the extra trauma to your face, but I can try taking it out and putting a new one in.” So we did, and so far it’s fine. And I’m staying on brand by doing things in the dumbest possible ways and thereby making things far harder for myself than they need to be. XD

Bonus Question!

Worst stabbing in the face?

That one with Oberyn on “Game of Thrones” was pretty brutal. I think it was the first character death on that show to really hit me. I liked that dude.

New Shiny Tattoo

As I was going to bed on Sunday night, this idea popped into my head, and I rushed into the tattoo parlour on Monday morning to put it into practice. Tuesday was really busy, but I had enough time to design it with an artist, and on Wednesday I rushed back to get it on my head. And here it is.
