Ok so.. I went in the other day to a tattoo shop to inquire about an apprenticeship... I miss having piercings and after finding out I couldn't get the sternum I wanted done I decided for something else. They touched up my neck ink, too but this was taken before that while I was waiting. Unfortunately they did not have the stud I wanted for my septum * I'm not a super fan of the horseshoe piercing itself... though it's better than a solid ring.. looks a little less like a bull ring* so for now, while it heals, I have to wear it. Once it's healed though I'll be getting the small stud. The septum piercing itself has always reminded me of older tribal cultures and the different piercings they wore to represent their status in the tribe or their own ritualistic culture. Eyebrow barbell is a little larger, as well as it was what he had in a 16G at the moment but was promised a free swap out for one with smaller balls in a month or so *again after healing* and the snakebites were to avoid any metal hitting my teeth... and it means I can still wear my lipstick.

Forgot how much I loved the sounds and smells of tattoo shops <3

The necklace is special to me. It was a gift from and something I consider my charm. Silver carrying the Capricorn symbol on once side and a fleur de lis on the other. The bronze a wolf on one side and a knight on the other. Silver was a gift to me and the bronze came later and originally belonged to him. I'm never without it when I go out and at home it stays on me or on the wall next to me. My hair is actually more red but the lighting Vs the store colors and my phone settings apparently wanted to make it look black... Oh well.
