Tattoos and other body mods
nekowafer:
It's not actually in my gums. It's in the little web of skin between gums and upper lip. I don't know that that will make it any less icky for you though.
Jace:
About 3 weeks from a new tattoo. I am excite.
Welu:
I had a disappointing body jewellery customer experience today but when I go to complain about it I feel petty and unjustified.
nekowafer:
Complain anyway! You're allowed to be bothered by whatever it is, it doesn't need to be justifiable or anything of the sort.
Welu:
Then I shall!
Went to a body jewellery shop my piercer mentioned and was feeling anxious before I came in because why not? The only person in the shop was the worker who was working on a display. Conversation:
Me: I'm looking for something for my cartilage piercings.
Him: *without looking up* Do you know your size?
Me: I think it's 16g.
Him: *still doesn't look up* 1.3mm. This isn't America. We don't do gauges here.
Then he showed me the jewellery and I think he was trying to be helpful but I was feeling pushed into getting something showy. I just got a couple plain bars and in the end I'm disappointed with the quality. The finish isn't very smooth and they're externally threaded. They were only £2 each and I'd guess the more expensive stuff is better but I just wanted something easier to sleep on. The guy just seemed to have, "This job would be great without the customers." pouring off him. This is total projection but I also think he was unenthused by my lack of (visible) mods.
Then the piercer said it wouldn't be good to swap the jewellery while the piercings are irritated after all that anyway. :-\
He also recommended switching from salt water cleaning to an antiseptic spray which doesn't sound right to me.
