The Medusa – Debating My Next Piercing

I’ve been debating my next piercing for some time now. Recently I’ve been swaying towards the medusa.

I’ve already got my lobes pierced 3 times on each ear; the lower ones I’m in the process of stretching, my helix on my left ear, scaffold on my right ear, nose and bellybutton.

I had my scaffold done in June 2017. It’s getting there with the healing process but it is taking forever. It keeps having keloids. I seem to go through phases: it can be fine and painfree for ages and then suddenly – BOOM! – pain comes from no where! I’ve managed to get over the awkwardness of sleeping on it and I’ve manage to accommodate it subconsciously.

Maybe I’m falling into a false sense of security and maybe it will come back to bite me in the arse but I feel I’m now ready for the next one.

I was contemplating a tongue piercing. I’ve wanted this doing since before I had my nosed pierced (which was my first non-standard-ear piercing). I’ve done the research and I feel that, knowing my look, they’ll probably go straight through my vein and I’ll bleed to death. I know…I’m being dramatic. If you go to a reputable piercer it won’t be a problem but I’m a pussy.

I’ve seen many people with the medusa, also know as the philtrum. I think it looks really hot! I’m not tempted with a large blingy jewel. Something subtle is more my choice.

The piece of flesh where my nose stops and my lip begins is quite short. My lips are really shaped and quite pout and think it might be a nice addition.
