Double nose is so cute. I've wanted to do that too but I'm scared of the sensory healing process. I actually love being pierced, but even colds are sensory issues for my nose. But so cute. I love ethical piercers who are like nope that won't work for you. I need to find a new one and a new tattoo artist since I moved
@els.library Ай бұрын
The healing hasn’t been bad at all! They only hurt for the first day, but I haven’t felt them at all since then (except when I bump them by accident). The only annoying part is not being able to do any skin care on my nose, especially exfoliating so my nose is looking kinda gross right now 😂 I’m definitely not looking forward to my first cold though lol. Finding a good tattoo artist and piercer is so hard! I hope you’re able to find one 😊

Top/First shelf: Comics/graphic novels Second Shelf: Favourite series Third Shelf: Series Fourth Shelf: . Stand alone books/one duology that didn't fit on the third shelf Fifth Shelf: TBR/Library books Bottom/Sixth Shelf: Childhood/early teens favourites that I can't part with. My non-fiction is organizard by big books on the top shelf and then by colour for the rest! I love the colour organization visually and used to have my fiction shelf that way. I may go back to but haven't committed yet. We shall see!

I tried reading Lore Olympus Vol 1 from the library and couldn't get into it at the time - though the artwork is lovely! August was a good reading month for me both ratings and numbers-wise: Demystifying Disability, Billion Dollar Loser, The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree and A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe were all fantastic! I read Ody-C vol 1 & 2 and didn't love it but the art was good. Je suis une maudite sauvagesse was my French book for the summer - the writing wasn't my personal favourite but I loved what the author had to say about growing up Innu in northern Quebec and the oppressions Indigenous People there face.
