My Piercings and Tattoos Tag

A lot of people ask me does getting tattoos and piercing hurt. In this I am going to go through each of my piercings and explain the pain because every part of the body is different. I am going to go in time order too.

Piercings 

1. My first ever piercing was my first lobe. I had these done in Claire's when I was about 9 with a gun. The pain wasn't bad after a couple of seconds it was over I would rate it 1 out of 5 and taking it out was fine.
2. My second piercing was my nose piercing I had this done when I was 16. I had this done with a needle. The pain was about a 2 out of 5. When it came to taking it out for the first time it was okay but I had brought not good jewellery and the diamond that it had in it fell out within days. So that led me to change it again which caused it to get a keloid. I personally got my piercer to pop it hygienically. After that it was fine and I haven't had a problem since.
3. My third piercing was my second lobe piercing I had this done with a needle again, The pain was about a 2 out of 5 because the gun had a lot of shock. With that I had some problems when taking them out, because I chose small studs they went through my ears which caused healing to prolong but after that they were fine.
4. My fourth piercing I had at the same time as my 2nd lobes which was my helix piercing. I had this done with a needle and the pain was a 1 out of 5. The problems with this is I had a labret bar put in and I have long hair so it was forever getting tangled which caused the piercing to get irritated and it swelled quite a lot. I still have a little bump under it but with sea salt soaks it should go away on it's own.
5. My next piercing was my tragus piercing. I had this done with a needle and the pain was a 3.5 out of 5. It wasn't too bad but it hurt a bit. This also got a keliod while healing so I changed it to a hoop straight away and it healed perfectly. I have now changed it to a labret bar and it is fully healed.
6. At the same time as getting my tragus I got my triple forward helix done. I had these done with a needle and the pain was a 4 out of 5. Getting 3 piercings at once is a lot harder than getting one. But I got through it. I have recently changed them to hoops because I had a lot of swelling and keloids. They are healing well now I still have troubles with my top one but I am doing sea salt washes twice a day and putting tea tree oil on it every night and it seems to be going down. If I were to have another piercing I would have it done with a hoop because they seem to heal better because of the amount of swelling I have. 

Tattoos

I only currently have one tattoo and that is of an anchor with a love heart. This has a special meaning to me by representing to always keep strong and no matter what your loved ones are always there for you. The pain of getting a tattoo was about a 2 out of 5. After having it done it swelled up quite a bit but went down quickly. I applied Bepanthen for about 3 weeks and then it was fully healed.

July Favourites

I can't believe it is August already. June has been a hectic month for me and I have been using a lot of quick beauty products. Here are some of my favourites for this month:

Nars Loves Miami Palette

I love this palette because it has a blush, a bronzer and 4 eyeshadows, which is great because it means not pulling out loads of different products. This is also great for travel. The quality of the products inside are amazing. I love the blush called Orgasm and Laguna bronzer. I also love the taupe shade of eyeshadow. Overall, this is a great palette. This retails around £30 and comes with a mini nail polish and lip gloss, both in the shade Orgasm.  

Hollister Silver Strand Beach Fragrance Mist

This body spray is the best. The scent reminds me of summer. It's very sweet and has a slight peach smell to it. It is great because the scent lasts all day and it also goes well with the body butter I'm using at the moment which is the peach one from the Body Shop. This retails at £11.

NYX Dewy Setting Spray

As it is summer, I have been enjoying more glowy makeup. So to create this I have been using lighter foundations. I have added a step which is to add this setting spray over the top, which has been helping a lot. It makes my makeup nice and dewy but also sets it in place all day. This retails at £8.

Chloe Love Story Perfume

Recently I have also been quite enjoying flowery scents. I love this fragrance because it is still flowery but has a slight fruity scent to it so its not overwhelming, like I find the original Chloe. I also love this because it lasts all day and has the cutest bottle ever.

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Crayon in Bashful

Swatch of Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Crayon in Bashful

As the days have to more busy I have enjoyed fast makeup products and this is one of them. The crayon application makes it easy to apply and it always looks great no matter what. This is a sheer Barbie pink colour which makes a great sheer nude for my lips. This is quick and pretty. Overall, I love this product. This retails at £8.

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara

This product comes as quite a shock because at first I didn't like this mascara at all. With this I put it in my draw and forgot about it. Recently I got it back out and was pleasantly surprised it is actually pretty good. It gives my lashes length and volume and doesn't flake. The only thing it doesn't really curl my lashes but other than that this is amazing. This retails at £7.99

Day out in Liverpool

About 2 weeks ago I took a trip to Liverpool. During my visit I went shopping and then went exploring around a museum. I took pictures with my Nikon camera, here are some of my best ones:
