Last night, I thought one of the balls of the barbell on my tragus fell off and I flipped out. (Sorry, Mako..) I can’t really see the entire jewerly and my tragus is less sensitive than last week, so it’s hard to feel whether all parts of my jewerly are there or not.
I said that my tragus piercing was the first piercing I’ve ever done but I just remembered that that’s not completely true. When I was in the 3rd grade, my family went to Palau and one day, we went fishing. As I was fiddling with the fishing tools, I accidentally hooked the skin on my right foot. The strange thing was that it didn’t bleed at all, even though the hook went pretty deep into my skin and came out at least 2cm away from the initial point. I didn’t even feel the pain and I remember seeing the skin streched as I pulled the hook upward. I must have stabbed the acupuncture points and managed to miss all the blood vessels. I eventually had to take the hook out because it looked pretty scary but if I had left it there for a couple months, that would have made a fine piercing on my foot.

Yeah, I wasn’t a very deft kid. I fished myself.. Quite stupid.
