Piercings

I am obsessed with putting little holes in my ears! I only have 8 so far but I want more.
I have three in my left lobe, two in my right aswell as my right tragus and cartalidge; and my belly button. For those who haven't got these certain piercings (and most people do) here's my advice - 1) you can never have too many lobe piercings as long as you wear the right earrings. 2) ALWAYS do what the person in the shop says, if they say clean it twice a day for two weeks, DO! I didn't with my cartalidge and when my friend changed it from a stud to a hoop (which hurts!) it got all infected. Cartalidge piecrings, if you change the earring badly or don't clean it well are prone to infection and you can get a calloid, which isn't pretty and hurts alot. (google it if you're worried, they can get quite bad) 3) Tragus peircings dont hurt as much as people make out! Just don't have it done soon before a long journey or something where you want to wear two headphones, the ones that go in your ears, because it's tricky when the piercings fresh. 4) After you've had your bellybutton peirced, you'll wish you had it done earlier, it's so pretty :) but heals really quickly so don't leave it out for more than a day. 5) Apprently, according to a lady at the peircing shop, nipple peircings take TWO YEARS to heal! 6) If you live in Birmingham, Oasis Market is the place to go for ear peircings at the jewellery stand on the ground floor, it's SO much cheaper than Selfridges!
< This isn't me but how amazing do these look!? Someone please tell me if skin divers hurt!






Although I'm still pretty undecorated in comparison to many people, I know alot about peircings - plus I'd love to hear if anyone has any other advice about new ones I should get, let me know :) byeesss

About this Blog

I like to make my own stuff because it differentiates me from other people. 
This, along with the fact that I can't afford the stuff my weekly fashion magazines tell me to buy, made me want to start making my own clothes and trying out new outfits. I'm not a model or a designer, nor do I see myself that way, I'm simply a modest teenage girl living in a big, fashion-demanding city. (Birmingham, a small step down from London, I know.) So I thought I'd start a blog to share with other modest fashion lovers like me things I make, things I wear, things I love or just things that inspire me or catch my attention. I hope perhaps I give some people some ideas and would other's ideas, I love seeing new looks. So enjoy and, like me, DIY :)

PS. I put a lot of my stuff on Instagram so if you have it, search polly_bea and follow me
