My Third Eyebrow Piercing

On Tuesday the 26th, I got my third eyebrow piercing. That means my total piercing count is now 12, which I'm super happy with!!

I got it done at Off Ya Tree, which is a location in the middle of my city. If you also live in Brisbane and happen to frequent Queen Street Mall, you'll recognise it. The storefront is bright yellow!

This is the place! Storefront, shop area and waiting area.

It's very nice inside. I asked to get my eyebrow done (again) and the lady behind the counter told me that there were quite a few people in thanks to their 30% off sale, so I would have to wait 40 minutes. I paid, left the store, and poked around in a vintage shop.

I bought a CD by the band Chemistry and one CD called "HARDCORE 2007". The Chemistry disc was a former rental CD, so I wonder how it ended up in an Australian thrift store?... makes you wonder...

After that, I sat around and listened to Aural Vampire on my cheap AliExpress MP3 player. (I have an old iPod but I need to buy a charger for it.) Once my time was up, I went back to the shop!

The guy piercing me was the same guy who did my angel bites. Just like before, he took forever to get things lined up with the marks, saying he's too much of a perfectionist. I get that. The procedure was relatively simple.

Apparently I bled!!!! I wish I got to see but my piercer cleaned it up before I got up...

People always ask me if my piercings hurt. I mean, of course they did? A needle went right through my face. If you're speaking past tense, anyways. It ached for about a day afterwards, but like, it's the sort of ache that completely disappears if you are doing literally anything else. So it's really not that bad.

The pain is mostly gone now, but it still hurts a bunch to touch it. You're not supposed to touch it anyways so I guess it deters me from fiddling with things lol.
