Alright so last night I ended up finding a labret stud which my husband never used. So got all medical again and switched the ring out for the stud. The ball is a little big for my liking but I think all in all, it looks better than the ring. For now going to let this bugger in for a 2-3 week period so I can heal and make sure I don't get any infection. I was so tired last night..even today I feel worn out...but I forgot to leave this disclaimer...
DO NOT PIERCE YOURSELF WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL!
In my case I'm sadly an ex-cutter, if you know what that means, so I found an outlet by piercing. I learned some of the proper techniques over the years being I skipped school everyday and hung out at a tattoo/piercing parlor. One thing is sterile...clean, clean, clean. I was lucky because I had old medical supply left. Which included, alcohol swabs, skin protectant swab, steril gloves, sterile paper to lay equipment on and professional piercing needle. One thing I lacked was clamps and a cork, which I kind of wish I had...the clamps at least. Then maybe I would have gotten the hole exactly where I planned. Yet like I said.. can't really tell...only I know.
After all that was done I disposed of everything properly and even put the needle into a syringe box that I have. So if you do decide to do this... have the proper medical equipment. I had stuff in case of emergency as well such as gauze pads, medical mask with gauze lining(to cover nose if something went wrong, no reason to bleed everywhere), tapes, etc.
Anyway.. here it is today post-pierce day, with it switched out for the labret stud instead of the ring. I like it much better. Can't wait to get a girly looking jewel.
