tear for a tear

I think I may have to retire my nape piercing. *snif snif*.
Today at work I tore it. I was playing with it (naughty I know) and I accidently tore the hole a little bit! I dont want to have to take it out yet, so Im going to try and see if it can heal at all....if not, its going to have to go into retirement!! NOOOOOO!!!

the elusive nape

I had a little scare on the weekend.
On Monday I took out my nape piercing so that I could give it a wash out at the beach. We went to Carnack (I dont know how to spell it) Island and spent the day swimming and sea-biscuiting. I thought it would be a great chance to help the old piercing along and it would be great to help get rid of a small infection.

When we got home I was getting ready to put the bar back in and realised (well Russell did) that the 2 holes had closed over!! NOOOO I wasnt ready to relieve this piercing of its duties!
I was sooo upset. I didnt want to take this one out, Im too attached to it. So being as stubborn as I am, I made Russell push the bar through the closed hole. I gritted my teeth and the poor guy had the pleasant task of semi re-piercing. It was just the first layer of skin that had closed over so once he got through that it was ok. I pushed it through the other end myself. Crisis averted - all is well!

That was a close call!!
