Jewelry and Health: Looking good

Looking good

Today, I was excited about showing everyone at work my new piercing. It's in an interesting place in my ear, and it's not that common. Before I had the chance to tell anyone about it, someone asked, "Are you wearing a hearing aid?" FML

Same thing different taste

Today, at work, a customer told me how unprofessional my piercing made me look, and insisted that someone else wait on his table. It's not a piercing, it's a mole. FML

Piercing wit

Today, I went in to see my piercer. He took one look at my piercing I got a few months ago and laughed saying "What a shit job, I'm sorry but that's pretty crappy because it's not even straight!" I then had to awkwardly explain it was indeed him who had pierced me. FML

Today, I was at a job interview at McDonalds. All was going well until the manager told me that I'd have to remove the piercing that I have on my eyebrow. I didn't think that my mole would be so confusing. FML

Lost in translation

Today, as I was translating for a patient to get an MRI, the tech asked if I had metal in my body. In front of the patient, I had to disclose that my nipples were pierced, so I couldn’t accompany the patient bedside. FML

Today, I was working customer service at a large grocery store. I recently got a small, tasteful septum piercing that is barely visible. As I greeted a customer, she began to gag, held out her hand as though she was fending me off, and said, "I can't. Your nose ring makes me sick." FML

Today, I lent my brand new earrings to one of my friends. Everyone told her that they are pretty, and look really great on her. I've been wearing them for the last 3 weeks, and no one has ever mentioned them. FML

Unfair!

Today, I got a warning at work for wearing my ear studs. Not only have I worn them the whole time for the last year I was here, I was unaware of this “rule.” I also was just told that the female employees are allowed to wear them, but men are not. “It looks unprofessional.” FML

Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML

Hole for life

Today, I got a new piercing because I was trying to be spontaneous. Now, I realize its placement is off and I hate it. FML

Good one, guys, thanks

Today, I was fixing something for a guy at a steel manufacturing company. His employees told me that their boss can't hear properly, so I'd have to be loud when talking to him. When I'd finished, he asked me if I normally talked like that, or if there was something wrong with me. FML

First, who gives a shit about piercings? Second, who gives a shit about what people say about you?

the fact that you got it in a different place should tell you something-people are going to stare and wonder.

Possibly a conch piercing? They're right through the inside of your ear.

I have an orbital in my upper ear fossa (?) thats what the guy at the piercing place said it was. Its taking forever to heal but i LOVE it because i have never seen anybody else with it. I got that instead of the industrial because I didnt have the right kind of ear for that lol. :)

Wow. Your life is ****** because someone thought you were wearing a hearing aid. You must have a really good life then.

And this is why you think about all the possibilities and plan these things about before you go and do them.

Must be a conch piercing, or a reverse industrial. I have those, and they often get mistaken for hearing aids when I wear the clear acrylic jewelry. Get some distinctive stud or bar and it's not likely to get mistaken for a hearing aid. And if anybody's wondering, a conch piercing is through the "cup" part of your ear next to the ear canal. A reverse industrial pierces through the conch upward through the top of your ear (forgotten right this second what it's called...helix, I think?)
