Thanks for all the pictures and answers to the questions. I just find it all so fascinating. I could never do it now...not at 52, but even if I did, I'd have to have something numb my nose. When you were talking about your eyes watering...I swear...mine started to water just thinking about it...LOL

Congratulations Val! You need to do things like that after a divorce! It is
empowering. It looks beautiful too. I also wondered about the nose blowing thing, but thanks for the explanation. One less thing to ever ponder! I got a tattoo after I retired. It was a good thing - self expression makes you feel strong.

Very cute, it suits you.
Here is a video of when I gave myself my Monroe piercing last August. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...oeAug52007.flv I got all my sterile tools off eBay, then just researched it. I washed my hands and the outside of my face with dial and the inside of my mouth, I gargled with antiseptic mouthwash... dried it with a paper towel, marked it, clamped it and pierced it with a sterile 14 gauge needle. I also did the center of my lower lip myself. |

Oh my gosh I could NEVER pierce myself! I like piercings and I even like getting pierced, but I couldn't do it to myself!

It's not as hard as you think, they are so sharp and hollow. It doesn't take much pressure to get the needle through. And with the inside of the mouth, you can see all the veins and such you need to avoid.
Honestly, I don't remember any pain either. Could be because my mind was preoccupied concentrating, I didn't have a chance to psyche myself out! So that is also an advantage. |

Here is a shocker.......
I got my nose pierced when I was about 36 and it is still pierced. I went with my daughter who thought I needed a new image it was kinda fun and I have a very small diamond in it. I really didn't think it hurt too much and the only time it bothers me is when I dry my face with a towel and forget it is there. I had a friend who turned 45 and went and got hers done. lol My husband asked me if I was having a midlife crisis and I said well if it is only a nose piercing be thankful but then I went and got a tatoo about 6 months later. That is all, I think it was enough to sew some wild oats that I never got to sew when I was young! lol |

Lol, my dad got his first tattoo when he was 50! I got one, then my brother got one, and then my dad got one! We made the midlife crisis joke too! Now we're trying to convince my mom but she's not into it after I told her how much blood I saw come out with my second tattoo!
