My permanent necklace

Today, after much thought, I got my very own sternum piercing.
Don't be fooled by the happy look. I was absolutely terrified at that point.
Face looks calm at first. I was trying not to laugh out of sheer nervousness.
It hurt a little, not bad at all though. A lot of the redness is just blood (ew).

Thanks to the good people at Slingin' Ink in Grinnell.
