BELLY

Omfg I did it!!! That... was a bloody mess, for about three seconds, then it dried up and stopped :)
I'm glad it did bleed, I didn't think it would, but that flushed it out nicely.
Its not as painful as I kept hearing it was supposed to be, I can bend over as long as I'm careful and put some light pressure on it. Its not even red.

I'm surprised it's not so painful, cause I kinda ran into trouble after I got the needle through... I pushed down instead of pushing it up.. so it was difficult threading the ring, see you're supposed to keep the end of the ring IN the hollow needle as you pull it out... but since it was the wrong way I couldn't do that.. I got it halfway though then accidentally pulled needle too hard and it came out.. with the ring still only halfway thorough.. I couldn't get it up, the top was closing up, so I took it out & turned it over and pushed it down through the top, thinking I could open it easier if I did it from the outside instead of the inside and if I went quick I'd get through before the other side closed.
It worked!

I'll take a pic once I get over the embarrassment of it being upside down...
