You see that gorgeous mint green diamond in my ear? That is my new forward helix piercing, and I am totally in love with it. My friend Sarah had been talking to me about wanting to get her cartilage pierced, and I told her I would totally go along and get something too. I don't really know what possessed me to say that, but I did, and I'm glad I did, because I am extremely happy with my new piercing! Sarah wanted to go somewhere else to get our piercings done but I told her I didn't trust anyone else in Orlando but the people at Dungeon Tattoo and Body Piercing, so off we went today.
I wasn't entirely sure of what I wanted. I finally thought I had decided on a normal cartilage piercing to match Sarah's, but as you can see that totally did not happen. What I really like about Dungeon apart from their amazing service, is their large selection of high quality jewelry. I have incredibly sensitive ears that really hate most anything I put in them, so it's quite a relief to have a place that sells good brands and high quality jewelry. I have yet to find that anywhere else in Orlando. I also feel like a lot of people look at price to determine where they go, and I think that can be important because there are some places who charge ridiculous amounts and do sub par work, but cheap is not always better. You just can't get good quality service and good quality jewelry for cheap, so think about that before you choose to get something done.
Okay so Monica who did my left conch also did mine and Sarah's piercings today. I really love her. She is so awesome at what she does and is very friendly. So Sarah went first and got her cartilage done. It turned out so cute! Then it was my turn. Monica had originally marked a couple dots on my right cartilage, and then suggested getting a forward helix. I figured why not? Let's do somethin different. I decided to get it above the one I already had in my left ear as opposed to getting it in my right and having matching ones. She marked a spot that I was happy with and cleaned that part of my ear.
She had me laying down and got everything lined up and pierced it. It's hard to describe what it felt like. It felt like a lot of pressure and burning. My ear felt so hot afterwords. It was the same when she put the jewelry in. It felt like a ton of pressure and burning. Pain wise, it was about the same as my conch or maybe a little less than my conch. It obviously wasn't the best feeling in the world, but it was totally bearable and something I would do again.
The placement is perfect. I couldn't be happier with it. My other forward helix was pierced really close to my head, so I was limited in what I could wear in it, but the one I just got is perfectly spaced so that's it's not so close to my head this time. I can wear pretty much anything in this one, which is exciting. Overall, I had another wonderful experience with Monica at Dungeon Tattoo and Body Piercing. Again I recommend them for all of your piercing and tattoo needs. Go find them on facebook and check them out if you are in the Orlando, Fl area!! :]
