Babies on the Brain

I wish I hadn't done that!

There's a locked post over on 12-24 about a dermal piercing.  So I say to myself, "WTF is a dermal piercing?  Lemme Google."  

My face is stuck like this Indifferent after seeing step by step illustrations of how it's done.  That, and seeing the sites all red and puffy right after getting it done.

  • It's a stud attached to an 'anchor'.  They shove the anchor into the skin, and the stud stays on top.

  • Really? I think they're super cute! I've totally been thinking about getting one eventually, maybe on my ring finger. But I'm not decided... we'll see where "piercings and tattoos" fall on my list of priorities after the baby gets here.

  • That just looks painful!  And kind of weird.  But I supposed it's not that different from tattoos.

    I am with you.  I thought all places pierced were red and puffy afterwards.

  • I guess having a hunk of metal embedded in your skin is just weird to me. I think the stud on the finger looks cool, it's just such a weird concept.

    You know what's funny, I feel the same way about curling eyelashes. The idea of using this weird device to curl your eyelashes freaks me the hell out, but I think it looks pretty when people do it. But... I can't. 

    However, tattoos, piercings... put a bunch of ink and metal under my skin? Heck yeah!

  • My cousin has 2 in her chest. Just keep in mind they have to be surgically removed and you can't have things like an MRI.
  • A girl I worked with had one of these right next to her eye. Then the thing got infected... it was disgusting.

    And my sister's dentist has one in place of a wedding ring. I didn't believe her when she told me about it.
