been thinking alot about my past being a hairdresser and other stuff these days...
as you all know, on saturday i went with the fiance to get his nipples pierced.
it's a studio i have known for decades and trust. and i was very impressed by own of their health and safety instructionals on the wall. it was regarding needlesticks and how to deal with them.
made me start thinking about my training as a cosmetologist back home in so cal in 1984.
of course we were taught how to keep everything clean clean super clean and sterilised, etc...but we never even talked about cross contamination regarding blood. now i know things are different and friends who are studying now even wear gloves for waxing.
just makes me think. that is all.

the dreaded retirement...
ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch
my nipples hurt!
actually it is the left one in particular and not really the nipples but the actual nipple piercings.
they arent new but they are damnit fucking migrating and they hurt hurt hurt and are ugly ugly ugly...i changed my barbells from 16mm up to 20mm (yes that is a nipple barbell that is 2cm - when those were fitted at the shop i got a standing ovation!!!)
sooo...as they don't look nice and they hurt and they feel like they are getting worse.
but i can't just take them out even though they are migrating because if there is an infection that risks the skin actually healing OVER it...great. and it's not like i can just pop out to walgreens in this country and go buy some antibiotic cream!
ugh.
so i'll use what i have here tonight - some lavender oil, which is my answer to everything.
always has been.
i just dread retiring these piercings....
...went through sooo much to get them!
its my 3rd set of nipple piercings and only finally took after mikey miller (the yoda of piercing in so cal) actually custom made some D-rings for me to wear as they healed. that was like a decade ago - so they've kept quite well for quite awhile!
and has he's not piercing anymore - ther's not much chance i'll get him to redo them!
ugh.
did i mention it hurts!
