New Dimple Piercings

So, I finally decided to ignore all the terrible horror stories and get my dimples pierced. After three years of thinking, and not thinking and re thinking, I decided hey... I'm only this beautiful once? So I decided to go to Sacred Tattoo in New York, New York, it was like an hour and some drive, but soooo worth it. I called around TONS of places before deciding on this place. The owner, Kevin is fucking amazing. Very helpful and just an awesome personality in person. And my piercer Starr Brew was epic. She was funny, down to earth, and answered all my questions and concerns. Now I would never go to a dirty shop... but I have to state that this shop was beyond clean. It's like an old three story building right off of Canal Street, the shop was located on the second floor, and the third floor was a gallery with art and exhibits, how sick is that? The dimples ran me about $83, but for the quality of the shop id pay more =]. So of course I took picture, and of course everyday if I can, I will post pictures of my face as it begins to heal =]

This is a quick shot of me getting it done.

Unlike my Monroe and the left side of my cheek, my right side bleed so much, we had to gaze it twice, it wasn't bad, as much as when i left, since its like 30 degrees here it was drying the crusted blood to my face, and new piercing =/. And by god it swell... I think the barbell we placed inside of it was either 3/8 or 5/8, honestly I do not remember haha I can find out though upon request though. But the right side swelled alot before i slept, I was scared that it was going to swell over the ball, which some people have had happen... **which if your piercing does so you want to go back to your piecer ASAP**, but as I woke up it was back to the normal swelling....

So this is me at Day 2:

Cheeks still swollen, not a bunch of pain, actually none at all haha just discomfort. I'll keep ya'll updated, but if you have any questions or concerns or anything around those lines, don't be scared to IM me or comment or shot me an email =]. I'm glad to answer like anything haha.
