I popped in to my tattoo place today to chat with the new piercer there and ask her to look at my conch punch because I think it's growing some irritation bumps (I can't see it properly, even in a mirror).
It is—boooo!
She seems amazing though—yay!
We ended up having a long chat about the importance of building up alt community in regional areas, because of the high youth sui rates (especially Aboriginal kids!) and how we were both saved by finding community.
I'm going to book in the next week or so and get a couple more holes jabbed in my ear.. I was wanting to keep working on my ears, but with my regular piercer not really getting to Bathurst much anymore I was out of options.
I'm super glad they're working at Sage now.
