Navel Piercing

 HI GUYS.
If you follow me on twitter (@meloided), you would have known that i got my navel piercing today (YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) hehe. And Rachael was with me :)
I swear i was damn nervous before that and i didnt know how painful it'll be.i saw many videos of people getting their navel piercing and it looks really scary. Just thinking about it, the thickness of your skin at your tummy is so thick and if there's a needle piercing through so much skin wouldn't it hurt like CRAZY? but no i was wrong it didnt hurt that much! (read more to know more hoho)

 One of my favourite shorts from f21!

OOTD: Pink velvet top, Shorts from F21 and white x pink shoes (I LOVE EM)
I would usually wear highwaisted shorts if i'm wearing a crop top because i'm obviously not too
confident about my own body actually.i wouldnt want to show my fats lol.
but just thinking of how the highwaisted shorts would hit my piercing if i sat down (OUCH) made
me change to midwaist shorts instead.

 So right, we went to Far East Plaza, lv 3, just in front of the escalator, there's a shop called "Primitive Art Piercing and Tattoo". It has a v good reputation especially after xiaxue got her tongue pierced there on clicknetwork.tv, so we decided to go there since it seems to be reliable and all.
The two female assistants (foreigners) were kinda oddly dressed and they dont look very experienced (i dont know why but something just tells me so). They told me that it'll cost $40 to pierce and $40 for the NORMAL STUD.
like what the heck, $80 for a navel piercing? And i read online that there are piercing shops at $15 at woodlands checkpoint (dont know if its reliable) but $50 would be the average normal pricing.

However, i already filled up the form and chose the stud lol,they like kept rushing me to choose this fill in this and that,but i told rachael to go ahead first because i was obviously not willing to pay $80 when people are paying $50 wth. I even whatsapped Grace that the piercing was gonna be $80 and she was like "SIAO" hahaha.

So even though i was at the piercing shop and getting all excited already i did not get my navel pierced yet. It was so saddening! So rachael got her nose pierced at $80 but she also bought an additional transparent stud (but the pricing is madness).

 So i told the woman that i will come back later or another day for the navel piercing LOL and she didnt seem happy. Just looking at their not-so-friendly attitude already made me not want to pierce there (what if they dont like me and anyhow pierce? D:)
But anyway, so we had to call a number of people (those who have had piercings) and ask them where they got their piercing. In the end we walked around far east to look for more piercing shops!
We only found 2 more piercing shops and one of them looked like a chinese medical shop somehow lol,but they had piercing services at $50-65? It was pretty weird.
But lastly we found "Rise Above Tattoo and Piercing"! Normal stud + piercing at $50 only and the studs look just like the one i chose at Primitive (shop that pierces at $80). One of the guys even looked familiar so i just decided on going for that.

He brought me to a mini room and he asked me a few questions. And i actually said "you look very familiar, are you the guy who pierced xiaxue's tongue?" AND OMG HE TURNED OUT TO BE THAT GUY.he and his group of friends working at Rise Above are actually all from Primitive! But they had some problems with the boss and they left and opened this shop. After that, the boss from primitive marked up the pricing of the studding services and everything by A LOT.
The stud that i chose at primitive and the studs they displayed were all from the same supplier so the quality is THE SAME.i saved $30 just like that hahahaha. And rachael's piercing and extra stud she got could have been $30 cheaper :( Ah, i feel kinda bad not telling her what i thought but the two women at primitive like kept standing around and i couldnt speak my mind lol.

Anyway, the service was very good and he was super professional. At first he'll put a clamp,to like pinch my fats.... and then he'll just put the needle through. I kept holding my breath so he kept telling me to relax and breathe in and out lol. After like 10 seconds I looked down and the stud was already there HAHA. It wasn't as painful as i thought. The pain of the clamp pinching my skin was about the same amount of pain when the needle was pushing through?so if you wanna get your navel pierced go try clamping your own skin,that's just how it feels LOL.

I would really recommend you guys going there to get your piercings since they are reliable and experienced (because they're from primitive), and yet its cheaper. :D

Now i cant slouch anymore i think it'll hurt a lot (but take this chance to improve my posture?i'm sitting really straight now lol) + I CANNOT LAUGH TOO MUCH if not it'll hurt + i doubt i can exercise because when i breathe in and out too fast it'll hurt a little + i cannot wear my highwaisted shorts for now :( + I CANNOT GO SWIMMING YET + i cannot change to my dreamcatcher stud until 6-8 weeks later :(
Sigh, so sad right?especially the part whereby i cant laugh too much (cause i always laugh a lot at everything lol whatever dont laugh at me)

YAY, i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvve my navel piercing!

Anyway i didnt practice my piano yesterday and i'm feeling guilty as per normal lol. Urgh, shall take the next 2 hours to practice.
Bye! <3
