So I did another quite impulsive thing today. I went out and got my nipple pierced. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow but right now I'm kinda traumatized. So I get it done (at supposedly a good place, I thought they did a great job so I'm not putting them down at all) and immediatly am gushing blood. Not like a little, like tons. Anyway after like 10 mins the guy bandages me up and says "don't take that off till you have to". Then I go down the block to the SGNY event happening. I like an idiot get a beer and about a half hour later look down to find my shirt covered in blood and the stuff just running down my body. I run into the bathroom to try to clean up, take off the gauze cause its soaked through entirely and put some paper towels on it. As I'm leaving the bathroom I see the lovely JaiDee and tell her I think I gotta go to the emergency room. She takes a look and in her wisdom tells me I need some peroxide then goes off to get it. She takes care of me and I keep pressure on it but my shirt is covered in blood so I hop in a cab and get myself to a train station closer to home. The bleeding stops by the time I get to the subway but at Union Street the fucking train breaks down (they said "there's a switch problem at 36th and this train will not be moving indefinatly"). So I try to find a car service and as I'm doing this start bleeding again. Finally I get home and I'm still bleeding pretty badly and its not letting up. I decide I now need medical assistance and head to the hospital (its like 3 blocks from my house). Once I get in I check and see I've stopped bleeding, so I stand around the hospital and wait to see if it starts again. It doesn't so I head home and now its all covered in gauze and medical tape again. Hopefully that's all for the bleeding. I don't like blood. Anyway I'll be keeping away from alcohol for a few days just to be sure. I hope I can get the blood out of my shirt. Its a Who tour shirt that I don't want to part with.

Hope the piercing heals well, what with all that bleeding that's gone on.
I've never pierced my nipples but whenever I've pierced anything I'm always covered in blood. When I gauged my ears, I think I bleed for almost a day straight (like I had to throw out pillow cases because they were covered in blood bleeding).
