My new hair

[jedusor]

This morning, Mom suggested that we dye my hair before things get busy with trip preparation. I decided I wanted to cut it before we dyed it so as not to waste dye, and that I wanted to do something really interesting, so...







By the way, in case you couldn't tell, I've decided to pierce my right eyebrow. Incidentally, if you have any recommendations for a good piercing place in the KC area, please let me know before tomorrow.

nice hair. The last one make a nice user-pic.
Please ask your piercer how they sterilize their equipment. Please ask them what safetey precautions they take. If something sounds off, go elsewhere.

(I do not know for sure, but i think, eyebrows should be done in a two step process with a hollow needle, not with the type of gun they use through ears. The needles must be sterlized in an autoclave. If you don't get a good vibe off the guy, go elsewhere.)

I dunno... it looks a little dark. It's the best picture of myself I think I have, though, and I've been meaning to do an icon of myself for a while.

Yeah, my mom'll be with me, and she knows the right questions to ask. Thanks for the info, though!

me likey the hair......no words for peircing, except that they shouldn't be using the gun thats used for ears, becuase 1. they shouldn't use that for eyebrows, and 2. they can't sterilize the guns so you could get a NASTY infection

Yeah- I'll have my mom with me, and she has a good instinct for below-par work. The place we picked seems pretty good, so I'm not too worried. Thanks!

squee!

Adorable hair, you look terrific, and I didn't want to influence you in any way, but I've got my right eyebrow pierced. Somehow that one just felt like the one to do; I think it was because I knew I'd always want to touch it often, and I'm right-handed. BUT: you shouldn't be touching it often at first!

You've been told correctly above, they don't use a gun for eyebrows. I'd go someplace that says they do "body piercing" instead of someplace that does mostly ears and happens to do eyebrows; somewhere that does a lot of other stuff will be likely to be very strict on hygiene. Things to look for in terms of vibe: cleanliness, of course; matter-of-factness and professionalism; a huge bin of latex gloves (the woman who did my eyebrow piercing changed gloves frequently because it's a multi-step process, and she needed to keep handling different things).

Mine only hurt for a bit, and I held onto the table for that instant; it only looked beaten-up/tender for about a day. Bactine is what they suggested for cleaning, and I was totally assiduous about keeping it clean, and I've never had a bit of trouble.

Can't wait to see a picture!

Hey, do you know about my real blog? I don't really ever write anything in the LJ. It's at: www.yarnivore.com/runblog -- thought I should make sure you knew.

Have fun!

Thanks for the info! We found a place that seems clean and professional, has been open at least since we got here (almost two years ago) and wouldn't let me get a piercing without a birth certificate to prove we're related, so I think it's legit. We're going back later this evening (with the certificate this time!) to get it done.

And because I'm a dope and hit "post comment" before I was actually done: despite the fact that I never comment, I do read your blog! I'm a few weeks behind at the moment, but I haven't been reading anyone's blog consistently lately.

I will definitely post pics as soon as I have them!
