I Concede to Biology

The second piercing officially rejected. I kept it in and clean for more than three months and it never healed. I finally pulled the stud out with the intent to put in a slightly larger ring, but the flesh was rather thicker than it should be and I didn't get it through.. I may have a cyst instead, which is relatively cheap and simple to have cut out. I left the stud out to let the failed piercing heal. If this clears up on its own and turns out not to be a cyst, I'll start on Plan B: gauge the single piercing to around a zero. When I can afford it I'm still going for the Industrial.

Zero?
Are- are you sure you want to do that?
Do you really want to look that dumb?

Cameron said...

That's not as big as it seems. Also, if I decide it is as big as it seems, I just stop at a smaller size.

Kaitlin said...

Oh, I know zeros aren't that big. I think my sister has near zeros.
I just think that a hole in the ear is... ridiculous. and Eerie.

Cameron said...

If done right, anything smaller than a double zero will shrink back down to a twenty or so if you leave it unfilled for a suitable period. I won't be the sixty-year-old man with the giant hole in his ear. Also, I'm using the Teflon tape method, which has about a 100% success rate.

i won't ever get a piercing... it's like a big gaping sign that says "weak spot" if you ever get in a fight.

Will i be gettin gin fights any time soon? probably not. But paranoia wins the day!

Kaitlin said...

Brandon, a year ago you were against drinking. What makes you creditable nowadays?

Cameron said...

If I get in a fight, I have a contingency plan. Ready?

TAKE IT OUT

Holy shit! Clever, right? I can even put it in my pocket so I don't lose it. It's not like removing the piercing is hard. I do it before I go to bed. That wouldn't even apply to the industrial, which is entirely surrounded by cartilage. If you went for that difficult target I'd just cut you while you were distracted.

You should avoid piercings, but only because they'd look awful on you in the same way that aviators don't.

Brandon Black said...

If i take a swing at you, you're certainly not going to have time to remove the piercing. Unless you've got some kind of sneaky ninja power i don't know about...

Cameron said...

If you're stupid enough to take a swing at my right ear, I'll end the fight before you can start it. No jackass opens with a wide left hook unless he wants to lose the fight.

Kaitlin said...

But Brandon, would the swing go right to Cameron's ear? And don't you think he could pounce back, put the earring away, and then get his knife?

just remember john cleese's lessons on how to defend yourself from an attack with a banana.
