Just got a madison piercing

I just got back from the tattoo shop not too long ago. I just got my dream piercing - I've been wanting it for ages.

The process was not fun because the piercer was using a new type of surface bar, which bent as it went in. He fished it out of my neck and had to re-pierce it. He then used a different type of bar that wouldn't go through. When it finally did, it made a lovely sucking/popping noise. The piercers were so worried I was going to faint on them but I only had mild dizziness when I stood up. Ten minutes later I was back to normal and walked out of the shop. Here's the finished product:

I was told there was about a 20% chance of rejection, but my body has always handled piercings and tattoos exceptionally well so I'm not too concerned about it. Plus, it's in there deep. I can feel it sitting very solidly - if that makes any sense.

My roommate went with me and had his eyebrow done and had his ear pierced. He felt fine immediately after so he took care of me while I was woozy. Now that we're home and he's had time to think about it, HE'S feeling woozy. So we're taking care of each other. :cool:

wow that's certainly a unique piercing. You've got more guts than me :D

:gj:

thats insane!! you certainly are much more brave than i... is it just under the skin?? it seems like there would be high risk doing a piercing there.

It's in there deep enough that I can't easily yank it out, but it *is* a surface piercing so it's basically just under the skin.

The only reactions I've gotten so far are: "That's disgusting" and "that must've hurt like a :cens0r:ing :cens0r:". :rolleyes: I'M in love with it, though. :P

In case you're wondering, this: is what the bar looks like when it's not in the skin. http://www.steelskin.com/productims/...surfacebar.jpg

But I explained that I didn't like the look of the flat heads and my piercer switched them out for me for free. :D

Most places will use something like this: http://www.steelskin.com/productims/...surfacebar.jpg
But they've found that when the bar goes straight in, then straight across, then straight back out again (like the above one which I have) there's less chance of rejection. The curve on the second one apparently is difficult for the body to accept. So that's another reason that I'm feeling good about mine.

Um, Why? That looks nasty! No need for it...

That is so hot! Love it, I think it looks gorgeous :D
