Whose tongue is that? The piercing is not central like it should be!! Only the bottom ball should be slightly out, in order to avoid a major artery.

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

It looks to me like the piercing is central, but they've rested the bottom ball on the floor of the mouth and the top ball is projecting up and sideways (due to the required angle out at the bottom which you mentioned).

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's central, but due to the fact it's only just been done and the bar is longer than it needs to be to allow for swelling, the whole bar is at a slight diagonal angle. This makes the top ball lean to one side, which is why it appears to be non-central.

And I'm sure you can guess who's tongue it is? THere are few reasons for posting these photos in a journal if they don't relate to the writer..?

Hmm.... could be. will need to have another look :)

My own tongue is absoloutly tiny, you wouldn't believe the trouble my piercer had piercing it! It also swelled up something awful so I sounded like Bill and Ben for almost a week, lol!

Re:

I did wonder about those possibilities myself, but it's really hard to say with just a piccy to look at! Now you've mentioned it I remember my own bar not looking quite right until the swelling went down and a smaller bar was fitted.

The next question is when did azekeil have it done and where? I'm assuming it was done in Bristol?

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Yes, there's a brilliant place here, very close, where I got my navel re-done. I was far more impressed with this place (Tattootime) than I was with Mantra in Cheltenham. The studio is large and well lit, with a good range of sterile jewellery to choose from, an experienced piercer, and very professionl. They marked the hole out before piercing (my navel) and it's actually straight and is the right size, rather than crooked and too long like the one done at Mantra. So I'm confident that azekeil's will turn out great. Also, goddesssnoweh had her tongue piercing and her tattoo done there too, both of which are really good jobs. :)

You may need to take me to this place when I decide to get my belly redone then, lol! It won't be til after the wedding now, but I've lost enough weight recently to be confident that it will look fantastic!

And I soooooo love that blackline jewellery you have, I definatly need at least one more hole to put some of that in *GRIN*

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Sure, can take you there, I'd recommend it to anyone. :)

Thanx!!! Obviously will give you petrol money for the trip!

Actually may use my birthday money to get it done... will they let me wear a bar right away? I can't have a ring in my job.

Re:

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Yes, they'll pierce it with a bar, and look at mine for proof that it CAN be done that way and stay straight, contrary to what a certain piercer may have told you.. :)

Re:

[sinders.livejournal.com]

Hooray!!! Well, I know you have the kids on my birthday, would you be able to get me there either the week before or the week after possibly?

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

There's a possibilty that I'll be going there the weekend tatsdixon is visiting (9th December), but otherwise my weekends are fully booked right up until after Christmas. The 9th of December is yet to be properly organised, but as azekeil lives in Bristol anyway, it's likely that tatsdoxon, stuartl and I will be going there Saturday sometime, meeting azekeil, and possibly shopping etc while we're there. Unless stuartl decides he can bear to be driven in the Escort, then we'll be going in his 206, so you'll have to ask him if he's happy to pick you up before we leave.

This is by no means a definite plan though. If it comes down to it, it may well be cheaper overall for you to get a return ticket to Bristol Temple Meads station, and grab a taxi from there, it's quite close. Or if you do that on a weekend when I'm planning to be in Bristol anyway, I could collect you from the station. Train tickets are often cheaper than buying petrol. :)

Ok, the train sounds like a plan! Thanks!

actually i had my tattoo done at Skin Deep. TattooTime is great for piercing, but you have to think about the artists skills when you are after a tattoo. I've seen some of their work and it's basically just second rate. Now i don't know about you, but i don't want a second rate tattoo on my body for the rest of my life.

Re:

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Which is why I'd only ever get a tattoo done at Mantra in Cheltenham, as their artists are excellent. Bob in particular has won multiple awards. Richard who does the piercing is a new addition, basically someone who is renting space there, and as such I'd go to Tattootime for piercings, but Mantra for tattoos. :)

Re:

[goddesssnoweh.livejournal.com]

the point to that post was, that you said i had my tattoo done in tattootime, which simply isn't true

Re:

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Then thanx for correcting me, I shouldn't have assumed you did, of course :)
