My Philadelphia history class is really making me want to get another Philadelphia tattoo. Now just to ponder upon it ... Figured it out! The seal of Philadelphia features two ladies, Peace and Plenty. I want to get them on my like inner calves in kind of an etchy style. Too bad I'm a grownup and can't just run out and get them now.

I've been toying with the idea of getting my tongue split re-growth cut in a couple of months.
I'm being a wishy-washy baby tho, 'cause I know how much the healing process sucks. It probably won't be as bad the second time around, but four years have not dulled the memories of how much healing the initial split blew.

It does suck lmao, but if it could improve the length of the split and stay that way, I think it's worth it. When I had mine recut, it was just as painful, but also was less stitches, so a bit easier to deal with during healing than the first time.

The stitches were definitely one of the worst parts for me. The way they felt if I moved my tongue the wrong way was the absolute worst. My whole mouth felt amazing when I finally took them out haha. I'm going back through some of my old photos taken during the healing and it's nasty lmao. I had a white scab on the end of one of my tips that was so gross looking.

I've decided I'm going to get a labret piercing between my other two lip holes on Saturday. Nothing too wild, but I've wanted a third one for a while now.

Since piercings are a no at work and I'm guessing tattoos are cool since my office people have them, I am going to be saving to get a tattoo of my sweet cat, callie. I'll have to save A LOT more to start the horror movie leg project I've been dreaming of since I was like 12, so I'll get my pets that I've been wanting first.

Once my finances stabilize, I'd really like to make an appointment for my conch piercings. I already know what shop I'm going to and spoken to them about it, they recommend getting one at a time to make healing easier. I'd rather just get both out of the way and sleep awkwardly for the next few months. We'll see. Kind of torn between retiring my tragus and getting the other one done, I want symmetry in some way or another but I'm just not as interested in my tragus piercing as I was. Not sure I want to go through getting the other one done. Also definitely getting the itch for a new tattoo. I need to give more thought what I want for my other forearm since the imbalance is driving me crazy. That'll probably be the first thing I knock out on my tattoo wishlist. I also came up with a concept for a piece last night that I need to sit on for a while and see if it sticks. If so, my dream artist is Paul Acker, so I might have quite a wait ahead of me...

My tongue re-split is 100% happening on Oct 27! I'm going to a different guy this time, since stuff has started coming out about my previous artist and he's bordering on hack. :/ He seemed ok when I got work done by him 5 years ago, but apparently his ego is getting the best of him & he has been cutting corners & caring less, which is terrifying. I've heard that he has actually harmed some people irreversibly at this point.
The new guy I'm going to is so knowledgeable and kind. I had heard he can come across as intimidating and condescending, but I honestly didn't feel that way at all. He has an extensive portfolio of both fresh & healed work. I'm really excited, but also nervous af. I know it's hell to heal but I'm very excited that my tongue will look the way I initially envisioned.
He was able to tell I'd had my tongue pierced before even tho the first artist had cut through the site, so I thought that was pretty cool haha. He said he could tell by the slight scar tissue that was there.

I got my third lip piercing today and I'm beyond happy with it. I finally feel like my face is complete (at least for now).

I'm morbidly curious as to what he did that was damaging, though, because that sounds horrifying.

It's to the point where the health board is allegedly actually chasing after him in one Province. I had my lobes scalpelled by him as well, so I'm very grateful I avoided any permanent damage. My new artist didn't outright say that the old artist fucked up my split, but he did tell me that my old artist only half cut my frenulum (which is what I assumed by looking at it) and also explained why I had so much regrowth. So yeah, old artist def fucked up. I had done my research and also had friends who had work done by my previous artist, and honestly there were no red flags then. I'm so happy I researched again before the re-split & found out this info about him now, ugh.

I heard they were working out of their apartment for a while. I hope your new split goes well!
