I have decided it was time to remove the bellyring as I don’t think it could have held up three more days. I feel helpless and sad because I had no other choice but to lose it in order to avoid rendering the area unpierceable in the future. My goal right now is to get re-pierced as soon as I have healed.
Farewell red vision, my precious 16th hole. I’m sorry I lost you.
Trust me when I say, I feel your pain (both emotionally and physically). I had to remove mine for a pretty un-glamorous reason: pregnancy. I didn’t want to end up with an ugly, stretched-out hole over there, so I sadly (SADLY SADLY) took out my ring and hoped against hope that it wouldn’t close up by the time I was ready to put my ring back in. No such luck. Now I don’t know if I should get it pierced again or wait in case of more kids! Does that sound weird? Who cares..</p>
<p>Good bye, red vision. My condolences, Tololy. </p>
I’m sorry :(
Is it actual size in the picture?
I’m glad someone can relate, Lulu. This was the hardest thing I have had to do, ever. I personally think you should definitely get yours pierced again once you have decided you’re not having any more babies. <br /><br />I know what you mean by ‘hoping against hope,’ I was entertaining a foolish hope that maybe it will be magically fixed in three days. But nah, it couldn’t have been fixed anymore. I’m glad I realized this and took it out before it actually tore my skin, difficult as this was. I didn’t know I was so attached to it. I guess because I wanted it so bad previously and waited for it a long time, losing it was not an option (unless I got pregnant, that was the only way I was going to lose it, or so I thought).<br /><br />Thanks for feeling for me, Austin.<br /><br />Mab3oos, that is the actual ring but not the actual size. The picture is pretty zoomed in and the ring is thus enlarged. I’d say x6.<br />
Sorry about that, tololy… <br /><br />I was very very very close to getting my own more than a year ago, but thinking about it long term I opted out! lately, I’ve been very much entertaining the idea of getting a tattoo! a tattoo of Palestine map on my upper back shoulder! (nothing on my belly - just think pregnancy or, God forbid, putting on some belly weight :P …that would look beyond horrendous)
yalla ma3lesh, mush 3ajbeenek the other 15? :D<br />hehehe<br /><br />I want a tattoo of my name in Arabic, calligraphed<br />yum. I’m going to do it eventually :P<br />
