Mini piercing adventure!

Heyy every1,

I have seen many videos about nose piercings, well piercings in general but mostly nose since I had my helix (top of ear) already pierced and wanted more of a facial one.
Anyhow, some said it hurt, some didn't, depends on your pain tolerance really however I have never heard of anyone's piercing getting caught on a towel or in my case a tissue!!

We arrived at our camping site in Italy in Coreglia Antelminelli, Tuscany and it wasn't really what had I expected. The long journey (8 hours or so) obviously had tired me out and I got quite emotional. Later I actually loved it :D so yeah I had mixed feelings :) anyway I cried and while I was blowing my poor nose my piercing came out!!
I panicked. Cried some more. Tried to put that screw in again, sadly it didn't work and we jabbed mum's golden earring in which was easier as it is straight.
I walked with a throbbing red nose to the reception to ask for the wi-fi code (gosh the technology these days) and also to ask if he (the owner) knew any piercing/tattoo stores that could help me. He had to look it up (his kids are still small) eventually he found one and I walked the very steep hill back down to our tent/house.

I called them. No answer. Left a voice message as this was an emergency and then looked up some more places on the internet. Thanks to Facebook I was able to contact the place that was recommended by the owner and found out that the piercer was coming on Thursday (this all happened on Sunday btw). So I thought ok, if I see a different place while we're exploring then I'll go in, if not I'll go to this place on Thursday. It wasn't a nice sight to see me with this huge earring in my nose but the pain was the only thing that actually got to me.

Later I found out that the piercer wasn't coming at all this month and after going to a bigger city finding 2 others closed I wasn't quite sure what to do.
The lady who does the tattoos said she'd give it a go because she's also doing a piercing course so maybe she'd be able to do it and we made an appointment.

On Wednesday we went to the little town and I was there at 3 pm sharp. We also looked at different shops and had the best ice cream ever!! Mum and Claire (my little sister) both had seconds!
So when I stepped in, the first thing that I noticed was the interior, old fashioned/classy/punk-ish. It was really nice and different from other tattoo places I've seen.
While she was sorting some things out I looked at her designs, they were very original, she did many different things, more for females in my opinion but beautiful. If she's still open for business when I'm old enough to get one, I'm going there!!!
She couldn't get the piercing in, but she gave me a smaller nose stud, also straight for a fiver. Extremely easy to get in, less secure. I woke up one morning when I was back home, excited to meet up with a special someone *wink* *wink* but only to find my piercing had disappeared once again. I stuck the first earring I could find (a gigantic pearl), ran down the stairs laughing and called for Mummy.
We went back up and she searched the floor and bed. Finally she found it with her most magnificent bionic eyes :D

Yesterday I went to my regular (well, -ish) piercer and she thankfully had no problems putting the original one back in. She even said it was extremely easy. So I have no idea what Mum and I were doing even with the help of Youtube!!
