who do you trust with needles?

well i happen to trust this guyyesterday corrine and i went to artistic element tattoo in yucaipa.
she got her nose pierced by cholo. it looks super cute.

and i talked to him about custom making the spiral jewelry for my ear.
(from when i got pierced back in january)

he said that the lowest of my three piercings didn't flow with the top two so he took that one out and pierced another hole higher up. he also replaced all the rings with smaller ones.

it looks so much better! and in six weeks i can go back and get the spiral.
i was so unhappy with how they used to be. he made the whole situation much better.
seriously cholo was so nice and professional. and he is kind of a perfectionist. and i think that is a fine trait to have as someone who plays with needles all day long.

tattoo expo.

so i really wanted to go to the tattoo and body art expo in pomona.
and jackie and i went together today.

i have been wanting to get this piercing.

once we got to the fairplex i talked to this guy
his name is "iguana mike" and he has a star implant on his forehead. and a metal spike mowhawk. he told me that to do the spiral thingy it would be best to get three separate cbrs and then once the piercing has healed to make custom jewlery.

so right now i have three fatty rings in my ear. and honestly im not a fan of the way they look. they are ust too big and hangy for my ears. :[
:[
i think im going to wait for them to heal and then take them out. or replace the rings with something smaller.
this experienced convinced me i am not ready to get a tattoo. they are just too permanent. i can take piercings out whenever i want to.
the craziest thing i saw today was:
a corset piercing! it horrifyingly awesome.
dont worry mom. im not getting one of these.
ill leave you with this.
