piercings and tattoos
I have 2 tattoos, and 1 not so conventional ear piercing!
PIERCINGS
I have a Daith piercing in my right ear. The reason I got this was because I suffer migraines, and the Daith piercing is a pressure point to help prevent migraines. I knew it may or may not help with migraines. If it didn’t help, it was a cool piercing. I’m not sure whether it’s helped, but I have not had many migraines since I had the piercing.
TATTOOS
I have 2 tattoos. The first tattoo I got was on my right wrist. It is a semi-colon tattoo, which is from the project semicolon group.
“A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you, and the sentence is your life”
I suffer from anxiety and depression. I go through many stages in my life, and have been in many dark places. Although I have never contemplated ending my life, my tattoo reminds me to keep going and to never give up. I am on medication for my depression and am seeing a psychologist, all of which has helped a lot. I am working on strategies to get me through the rough times. And this tattoo reminds me to keep going!
My second tattoo is a butterfly on my left ankle. I have always wanted a butterfly tattoo, but I was always worried about what my parents would think. So, after the semi-colon tattoo, I decided to do it. My tattoo artist designed it for me from a variety of designs I sent him. He then coloured it in on the day with my favourite colours! I love it. I got it on my ankle to be out of site for work.
The jury is still out if I will get any more tattoos or piercings, but time will tell.
