Oh, only one mistake I made, taking my vitamins, I forgot the effect of 100mg of niacin, (vit B3) on sensitive skin, a most unusual experience!
what would that be? I've never heard that before.
Niacin I take in an attempt to get me off my liking for nicotine, whether it works or not, I will see, but so far after taking the stuff and a good while after, the desire to smoke is reduced. Niacin on it's own, I take at this point the RDA which is 100mg the effect of the stuff is skin flushing and tingling. I could describe the feeling as the after effect and sensitivity of skin after having done nettle play, but all over. It is like a wave of heat travelling up the body and tingling as it goes, I realised my error when the heat and tingling reached my piercings, not an unpleasant or painful experience, but definately different.
In addition to the aftercare I was instructed in by the piercer, I also take internally, a high strength skin,hair and nails supplement, echninacea, garlic and minerals, all things I know to ward off infection, strengthen immune system and repair skin. So, for my first piercings I am giving them the best chance possible to heal well.
Day three, today, well, it seems I slept on them, but no problems, just a little sore in the morning, but nothing major, but what I have noticed, is boy, my nipples are sensitive, where they were not before, not to this extent, but I love it, I love the feel, the look and the sense of being pierced, bits of metal inside my skin.
Hmmm, next piercing, maybe a frenulum ring. Interesting though, all the piercings and tattoos I want, will not be visible on a day to day basis, they are in esscence, for me.
