I've been planning on getting a daith in my left ear (because the migraines tend to start or end up in my left side more than not, and I tend to sleep on my right side, so it'll be easier to let it heal) for quite some time now. The reason I haven't yet is because I'm immunocompromised and there are are lot of issues with infection that can happen there because of the low blood flow.
I still plan on doing it, but I do want to talk to this neurologist that I've started seeing about it. I'm not gonna necessarily decide against it if she doesn't believe in it. I'm just interested in her opinion on it.
After I get my left done and healed/mostly healed, I plan on getting my right done as well.
The best stories I've read about daith piercings is them taking around a full year to fully/mostly heal. So I'm planning on getting it done around the middle of October, which is when it starts to get pretty dry here where I live. I have much less issues with skin infections and thrush (a real issue when you're immunocompromised) starting in October, lasting until around the end of April. So I figured that would give me a pretty good stretch of time to let it heal without adding in the extra complications of just being me.
I'm trying to find a nice piercing that has a star in it, and a nice one with a moon. :)
Awesome! I hope all goes well for you. The people who did my moms made sure everything was surgically sterile. She is NOT the piercing/tattoo parlour type. She was thoroughly impressed. Again, I hope it all works out for you! Keep us updated.
While I don't have any piercings or tattoos yet, they're definitely something I want. I already have the place picked out, a place here in the metro area known for being exceptionally sterile and extremely caring about everything being sterile.
They also aren't a tattoo parlor, but I do plan on asking them for a few recommendations.
I need at least one small tattoo as soon as I can get it. My battles with depression are raging harder than ever, and more than ever, I need to tattoo on the inside of my left wrist "I MUST ENDURE" to remind myself that I can't give up.
I will definitely keep things updated!
I didn't write an update last night because I decided to avoid everyone. I was getting a lot of really stupid private messages and just felt like avoiding people yesterday. So I'll be doing an update for Days 3 and 4 tonight.
I understand that. Really, I do. I want a semicolon on mine to show that my sentence (my life) does not end here.
I actually really dislike the whole semicolon thing, personally.
Aww. It know it's been overused but I'm terrified of needles and getting a tattoo so if I ever got one it would be small and simple.
