This morning I had to say a sad goodbye.
I said goodbye to something that’s become a part of me over the better part of the past 5 years – it’s tough to let go after this long.
But I put on my brave face. Wept a little weep. Shed a little tear.
And lifted the pliars.
I had to remove my left nipple ring.
It’s been giving tiny signs rejecting for the past year, and I noticed yesterday that it’s started to move dangerously close to the surface of the skin. So out it came.
I feel naked and incomplete.
Perhaps I’ll get it redone some day. Other than that, I still have my other three piercings doing quite well – and three outta four ain’t bad, right?
oooh. Poor nipple ring. While I don’t have any nipular parts pierced, I think I’d go bonkers without my tragus & helix — I play with both of those on a regular basis…
I had to do that to my nipple ring a few years ago. I’d had it for roughly 5 years, and one day it just started to move to the outside of the breast.
I ended up taking it out and getting the other nipple pierced later the same year for my birthday. Oddly, whereas the first nipple ring never really healed, the second one healed completely within two months.
Taking out the nipple ring didn’t make me nearly as sad as taking out my eyebrow ring though. It’s been months and i still reach up and try to pull where the ring had been :/
