On the 27th of August I got a scaffolding piercing done, this picture is taken on the evening I had it done.
I have wanted one for ages but never had the money and wasn't allowed to due to school rules, now that I have left school and will be starting college I asked my mum if I could have it done (she agreed despite her not wanting me too).
I got it pierced in a place called wyrdos (yes that's how its spelled) which is located in the town I live in.
The whole procedure was very quick, as soon a I went into the shop and asked for it to be done they took me upstairs to do it, I filled in a form and then went in to the room. Whilst in the room I got a little bit nervous but Luke and the person piercing my ear were very reassuring.
I'm not going to lie it was painful but it was bearable it was a very odd feeling because it is a cartilage piercing. These is some slight bruising on the lower part around the back, which has cause some swelling but it is gradually going down.
I have to keep this clear bendy bar in my ear for 6 weeks and then I can go back and get a metal bar put in place instead.
The cost of this piercing is £40 and I do believe that this is a general price for this piercing.
After care <3
After it had been pierced the lady gave a me a leaflet that told me about the after care of the piercing and a rough guide to how long it will take to heal.
After care for this piercing is basically the cleaning process.
Cleaning process:
the cleaning process for ears is a very simple.
all you need to do is have a cup of boiled water and fill it with a teaspoon of sea salt and mix that in until it dissolves, wait until the water has cooled down to body temperature and then use a cotton bud to clean the top and bottom of the piercing twice daily. Over cleaning can be very bad for the healing process as it can make the skin abrasive which will cause unnecessary damage to the skin.
Each week up until I get the bar put in a will write a blog post about its whole progress and healing process I will post each post every Tuesday for 6 weeks so look out for them.
I will make a video about my piercing on my channel so if you would like to check that out it will be recorded and up on the 30th august so head over to my channel it will be my first ever video so I will leave my channel link under here for you. As this is the first post about my piercing I will be labeling it piercing 1 but so there will be 7 piercing post as a whole. I will speak to you next Tuesday about the piercing and I will probably make a blog post in between so see you then.
