piercings, part II

So I found The Piko Ring (sound angelic harps and chorus) that I love.

And it is $600 buck-aroo-skis.

However, I figure that, if I do this to myself I'm going to put something REALLY NICE through my piko...and then never, ever change it.

I'd go for it immediately if there were a three-months same as cash-type of payment option...

...but alas...

Birthday and Mother's Day are both coming up, within a few days of each other. Maybe I'll get some bucks and can put them toward what I'd like. However, my mother usually sends a gift card (and she would FREAK OUT if she knew what I had done, anyway)...

Maybe it's time to start playing the Lotto?! ;)

I am frugal, often to a fault, but when I want something nice, I want something nice, especially when talking of something going directly through a portion of my abdominal skin.

  1. Those sucker are expensive but you do want to pay the price for good surgical metal. I've heard the horror stories. Jay's had one nip done. I think they look great as body art, but am curious, what was the attraction that got you passed the pain? - Hope your having a good evening or happy Tuesday!

  2. Hi Brad--you caught me online!

    Yeah, I've heard horror stories as well, and want to take care of the holes I choose to put in my body--although I only have the ears done (now with 3 in each) and my navel. I just think a belly pierce is incredibly sexy and, as I am not particularly fond of my tummy, it is an effort to start feeling more comfortable in my own skin. Not that a lot of people are going to see it...but what matters is how I feel.

    I have absolutely no desire to pierce any other part of my anatomy, thank you very much! The pain--incredibly short-lived considering--wasn't bad at all.

    But I've been through one 21-hour labor and another 40 hour labor, both drug-free, in bringing two 8 1/2 lbs little turkeys into this world. So that seems to put it all in perspective...

    Be well, Brad. Happy Tuesday back atcha!

  3. Oh yeah. I forgot. Your a Mom. You know pain like no man can. I wouldn't be able to do that if I was a woman. Too big of a sissy.

  4. No credit cards? Or see if you can get one 90 days same as cash. I only have pierced ears but have to have GOLD in them thar holes or I'm in DEEP do-do. So I can understand your desire for something nice, which means expensive. Have you thought to try eBay? Good luck
    p.s.
    why the word verification...did something happen?

  5. Ah, Brad...

    You've graced me with a Capital M.

    (blush)

    My kids are fascinated with the navel ring but my daughter emphatically states (she is 6) that she will NEVER get anything at all pierced. I wonder if, in 10 years...

    Hi Val!

    Yes, I need to be good to me. No reactions, and I want something beautiful, too.

    Somehow links to Japanese porn sites were showing up in my comments which I don't propogate, personally. Now yes, although Japan is a highly sexually repressed country in many senses, the porn industry is extremely active and eye-opening.

    And that is that.

    Be well, y'all!

  6. Oh MY...good call then. I had a couple ads on my blog AT FIRST. These were google ads. They were fine in the beginning...I even let them get away with advertising bras. But THEN they started on this Thai bride crap and I shut it off and deleted them! THE NERVE. So I'm not going to ever have ads again...you just can't trust anyone!!
    About five times now I've had some sort of advertising "bots" in my comments...they always had a link and it was all ads when you'd go there (and I imagine they got paid for everyone who checked it out). I have been deleting them and haven't had any in about a week or so. If I get more, then UNFORTUNATELY I will have to put verification back on myself.
    I don't understand MAPI why they have to push porn down our throats (no pun intended)...those who want it certainly know where to go to get it. Speaking of that, we are going to be in a middle of a battle in the small community where I work...they want to put in an adult book store and NO ONE but the applicants wants it. This should be interesting.
    Have a wonderful day!!

  7. You should have seen my mother when she saw my nose stud. It was kind of comical really. I would absolutely love to find a nice diamond to put in it.

  8. Sweets - Thank for the great comment on my blog. It's a great PSA! You should think about being a spokesperson - really!

  9. If it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone - do it!

  10. I'm half way afraid to ask, what is a Piko Ring?

    ResponderEliminar
  11. :) Never be afraid; Mama Llama is not that risqué, believe me...

    Navel. Belly button. Piko is Hawaiian for belly button, and like many other words we have in our house, that is just how we say it.

    My apologies for the stressed confusion!

    Be well, OC. And keep warm...
