Fascinating

Lots of piercing updates in the next little while, I imagine.

It gets sore/slightly achy/a bit more swollen when I'm too tired. Like, it does this before any other symptoms kick in. Yay for flags telling me to sleep.

It's starting, just a little, to heal. That is, there's a thin white band forming at the very edge of the wound that looks sorta like scar tissue, though a tiny tiny tiny smount of blood still occasionally comes out when I'm cleaning it.

Called mom, she asked me how I was, I said the piercing was going great. There was a touch of silence. It took her maybe ten minutes to get over her surprise, by then she'd asked the expected questions about what it was like. Now she's okay. I love my mom. I really shoulda told her more explicitly beforehand, but I didn't know more than a week before.

Juggler tells me the piercer was flagged, black handkerchief, back left pocket. Devon? Someone else? Black is BDSM, does left mean anything? Dude was cute. It's bad manners to hit on someone you're in a professional relationship with, right?

Angus, are you supposed to tip a piercer?

Juggler continues to rock for a million and one reasons. We've spent, like, two days straight together, which means we got good practice hanging outdoing our seperate things while in the same sort of space. We needed practice, and I'm so glad it works.

Tillie and a bunch of people came by for a bit today while I was showing Colin some 'net stuff, and my room was fuller than it's ever been. Tillie has good taste in people; these were nice friendly people and I liked the bit of controlled randomness in an otherwise cocoony day.

I will sleep now. Be well.

Yep, you're supposed to tip—about the same ratio as one would a hairdresser.

Left = bottom for whatever it is.

Black = heavy SM.

[pieman.livejournal.com]

What ratio is that?

I've never understood tipping hairdressers as most places that the women in my life have gone has been rather expensive to begin with...does it all go to the studio?

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, how much is that?

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm.

Actually, left is top. Black is heavy SM. So, yes, meanie who likes to hurt people. :)

[matt79.livejournal.com]

I flag black on the right, or red on the right, depending.

Red is for fisting. Whee. :)

And now I am done making incomplete comments.

Hm. So my piercer is a meanie who likes to hurt people.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Hee. Mechanic.

I suppose I should have said "manner" rather than ratio, since when I think about it, it really varies from person to person and depends more one what's being done than on how much it costs.

I figure a five is always a good whole-bill amount for someone who's not necessarily well-off but who wants to show appreciation. I think darthmaus tipped ten for her double piercing.
