Piercing farewell

Posted on by

Alas, the time has come for me to bid farewell to my eyebrow ring.

This, as it turns out, was not really a matter of my choosing. I’d noticed that it seemed like I was seeing more of the ring over time, and I’d been a tad concerned about it migrating, but I hadn’t really thought too much about it.

Then, last Thursday, I noticed that I was suddenly seeing a LOT more of the barbell–it was hanging in there by a thread.

Farewell eyebrow ring

I came home and went to go take it out, hoping to avoid a scar, but when I went to loosen it the whole thing just fell right out into my hand! So much for avoiding the scar. It’s not too bad though, and I figure I can come up with some fantastic yet moderately believable story to tell if anyone gives me shit about it. (Knife fight? Ill-fated knitting accident?)

I’m sad to see the piercing go. I really did like it, but since this is my second failed attempt at an eyebrow ring I’m going to have to accept that this is just not to be.

But hey, there’s always tattoos, right? Those can’t migrate…

    Tattoos don’t migrate? Silly! Just wait…I can tell you that the bottom points on the five-pointed star on my breast have migrated south. Oh the joy of aging! Oh hooray for gravity!

    i think you should go for “knitting needle fight”

    Oh, tattoos migrate. Just look at the aging bikers. Sure, Tweetie started on her boob, now he’s somewhere near her stomach and is two feet long.

    I second knitting needle fight. Or, you could also get the scarred eyebrow tattooed on permanently. Perhaps with a curious little arch to it- very Natasha, of Boris and…

    Knitting needles can do some serious damage, especially in the wrong hands (like me trying to knit!).

    Sorry to hear about the piercing, it sucks having to remove them when it’s not of your choosing. On the right parts of the body, tats should stay in place ;)
