Day 3
Pierced on 06/10/10
I was suposed to get it pierced the week before, but due to a sudden craze of rook piercings due to a band I thought only 10yos liked getting one on some TV show.. Curved barbells were in short supply.
Day 1 Sharp pain! Most painful piercing I’ve and in a while (and slowest, but its better than being wonky). I could feel te needle in the middle of my lip trying to break out. Weird. But nothing awful, and no blood.
Day 2 I can drink, but any cup with a wide rim, straws are much easier. Can’t really bite bits off big bits of food. And I make a bit of mess eating and drinking. Can’t lick my lips clean like normal. A little swollen, nothing huge. I either have blood smeared on my lips, or hot chocolate, can’t decide.
Day 3 Dry lips! Almost to the point of painful, the piercing doesn’t hurt though. Not sure if lip balm is a good move or not. The driest part is around the piercing, I don’t want to get lip balm in it and piss it off. Decided it was hot chocolate 🙂
13/10/10 A week later. The dry lips are just starting to sort themsleves out, and the swellings all gone. Theres some hard scar tissue in my lip, but that should sort itself out. Changed the bottom ball to 2mm, probably a little smaller than I want, but it hasn’t caused any problem. Might’ve sunk if it were in the top. Pout for drinking, grimace for biting food, avoid bashing the top ball. This’ll probably be a very uninteresting diary now
16/10/10 I had a crusty!! Just the one, and few days ago now. I think thats pretty much it now, lol.
