Yeahhh. A year of hrt is a milestone, and I celebrated my 3 months by getting my ear pierced. It helped me get over my needle phobia and I feel like it was a nice acknowledgement of the event. I'll probably just get one on the same ear above the 3-month one. After this I don't know if I'm going to get more hrt related piercings. I probably will for other trans-related milestones though. If I ever get The Op I think it would be a little overkill to get one acknowledging that, as it's basically a piercing all in itself. But maybe orchi? Maybe when I train my voice? I like having mementoes.
All of my piercings have meaning. So far, I have (in order) tongue, labret, left ear (2), right ear industrial.
My tongue and labret are there to remind me of someone who was very close and very special to me.
My left ear is there for 3 months hrt. It's also there to remind me of some things someone taught me.
My industrial is there to remind me to not let my fears stop me from doing what I want, and to remind me that needles won't kill me.
My other left earring is to remind me I'm loved.
I love piercings, and talking about them with people. I don't know if I'll ever get a tattoo, it's too permanent for my liking.
