I Feel Naked

After church Sunday my piercer (and friend) Renee and I were chatting. Apparently, she agrees with Jimi: my eyebrow is rejecting my piercing. Apparently the gauge / size of the piercing was too big so gravity is literally pulling it down and out of my face. It’s just a matter of time until it comes completely out, leaving a whacky scar.
So today, she took it out for me.
It feels so weird…my piercing is just part of me. And now it’s gone.
I am counting down the days until January 27: the day I’m going to re-pierce it. Apparently it needs to heal first. Renee said she could temporarily pierce my nose or other eyebrow for me, but I decided against it.
Oh, and I am going with titanium next time. It is much lighter and shouldn’t reject.

Good to know. I almost freaked thinking, “oh no! Noel’s not going to have a piercing when he marrys us?!?!”
:o)

Would I do that to you?

The same thing happened to me. I never got it re-pierced though…
I would have gone for a smaller gauge but when I asked for a 16 or 18 gauge the piercer girl called me a girl so I went for a 12. It fell out within a few months.

Yeah, that same thing happened to me … WAIT! Who am I kidding? I can’t pull the look off. I’m spending too much time finding new clothes in black that don’t look dorky. Somehow I think the pierced brow might throw the priest uniform off a bit. Just a thought.
BTW, good Lord, you look depressed without that thing in your brow. It will be OK.

You are a sexy beast with or without the piercing.

Mine took years to migrate out. I actually think it was accelerated last year when I had to take it out and subsequently had it repierced.
On the other hand, if I hadn’t taken it out, I never would have met Renee (who has since gotten saved and plugged into Riverview). I guess my bare eyebrow is worth that price.
I’m stoked they do them in titanium now. I have a titanium wedding ring and I love how light it is. I’ll report on it in January.

Jack - I also seem to look more bald, as well. Hmmm…

I took mine out for the same reason about a month ago. I’m going to repierce when it heals and I can afford it. I’ll have to look into this titanium thing.

Well…I had my navel pierced…a couple of times…LONG before it was in vogue…too bad it was due to surgical procedures…but I have some BEAUTS for scars…
