So my vertical hood piercing came out in someone's mouth the other day and then got lost altogether. I bought another today but had to go from 14g to 12g because they only had fugly gem ones in 14g and I don't do fugly gems. Well, I didn't have enough time to have my piercer put it in for me so I had to do it myself when I got home. What a fucking pain!!!!!!! Kids, don't try this at home!!!!!! took like 20 minutes and a magnifying mirror but I did it. bad enough putting it in with a horizontal hood in the way but to guage up, too.... ugh. Just thought I'd share my aggravation/success with you.
