Goodbye Nape Piercing

About 13 months ago I got a nape piercing. After constant fighting with it, my body won and I decided to take it out. With overworking myself and always being run down, the piercing was getting infected every few days. It got really bad the past two weeks as you can see:

So, tonight I unscrewed a ball and pulled it out from under my skin. This is what the bar looks like:

I guess I should really just stick to tattoos. At least they don’t get infected.
