[Closed] Pierced at last !!!

Hahahaha!!!1 I don't know how many but 3 each is enough for me honey lol

Hi Lauren.

Wow five months? I hope its faster than that. I'm already shopping for more earrings.

going back to my hippie days, we did out own and just swabbed them daily with peroxide. of course they grew in over the years so I had them done again but put a small hoop in right away and rinsed with peroxide nightly rotating the hoop regularly.  No idea why they would want you to wait so long.

Hi Michelle

Congratulations on crossing of an item On your bucket list. I wanted my ears pierced for so long but never had the nerve. Than one day I was shopping on "Wish" the Chinese mail site and I saw these self contained devices designed to pierce your ears. And place a stud in, for you. so I ordered two sets and waited.
when they shoed up I was to nervous to use them at first. But last year around the beginning of December I tried one piercer out. I washed my ears, wiped them down with peroxide.
At first it was hard to do, but I squeezed the plunger down and heard two clicks. Presto my stud was in place and my ear was pierced. I pierced my other ear shortly after around the second week in January I was able to take my stud out and put other ear rings in. Enjoy your newly pierced ears Michelle

Hi Leslee.

You were very brave to pierce your own ears. Good for you dear. Having pierced ears makes me feel so feminine and I can't wait until I can wear nice earrings.

Hi Jill.

I've wanted pierced ears ever since hippie days but never could because of work and family. Now retired I'm expressing my feminine self that has quietly (mostly) been waiting for this time of my life where I just don't care what others think. Yes I could have gone with something else besides small studs but wanted to get used to them before going to something nicer and more obvious. I'm making a wish list on Amazon and starting to buy pretty earrings for the coming day I can wear them. I don't want to risk an infection so following the pirecers instructions being patient. I'm already thinking of getting more ear piercings.

Congrats Michelle. Wear those silver balls with pride now and get those faux diamond studs to wear as well. You will be surprised at how often you will find yourself wearing them. More piercings are sure to follow. It is so nice that now you can wear big hoops or dangling earrings without the worry of losing them. This time next year you will have more than a dozen pairs and be feeling even more girlie.

Hi Deborah.

Thank you dear. At this time I can't even imagine not wearing earrings. Yes for sure I'll have many pairs by this time next year. I'm afraid it may become a new obsession but I don't mind. The selection is endless. Hoops and dangles... yea!

I know first hand how piercings can become an obsession. When I was 19, I got my first piercing on my lip.. and then proceeded to get 20+ more over the years lol. I've worked my way back down to just 9 now 😅 I will warn you that if you start to get up into the cartilage of your ears it's going to hurt a lot more. I got an industrial bar in my right ear(also when I was 19) and to this day remains the most painful piercing I ever got... And that's saying something considering where my current piercings are located lol

Hi Rilee.

Wow 20 piercings seems a lot. Thanks for the warning. I feel sure that I'll get more ear piercings in the future. You know girls suffer for fashion and ear piercings is one of those areas. I've always thought a nose piercing would be the most painful but idk. I can't even think of that without rubbing my nose.. lol.

I had my ears pierced just over a year ago at 54. One of the best things I have ever done. I should have done it decades ago! I now have dozens of pairs of earrings, ranging from studs to HUGE hoops and very heavy "danglers".

The great thing about earrings is they can cost next to nothing, or cost large amounts of money.  I don't have any expensive ones, but I have a few pairs that look very much like earrings costing many hundreds of pounds.... Glass can shine as bright as diamonds 🙂

Don't rush the removal of the studs. I'd wait at least 6 weeks, and then take it easy before putting anything heavy in. Let the tunnel through the lobe fully heal and form.

Enjoy earrings.... They really add the final touch and the feel of a heavy pair of earrings swinging in the ears is amazing!

That's wonderful Michelle!

You know, I've been meaning to get my ears pierced for quite a while but I never get enough courage to do it.Mostly due to the family thing. I only wear clip earrings.

I'm happy for you, beautiful!

My first piercing was done back in the 70’s, just a simple star stud (for Texas yall) done at local mall jewelry store. Only lasted about a year (due to career choices I removed it) Fast forward 40 years and still wanting another. So as of today, I have 4 solid gold captive bead rings and an industrial piercing in my ears. Got some looks when I got them and still get them occasionally now. But you know what, nobody cares. My kids and grand kids call me cool. I’m starting to think about changing them out for dangleys. I’m sure I’ll get some looks but I don’t care anymore. Life’s too short to worry about other people.

haha I don't know if I would consider an ear piercing as "suffering" for fashion. I got mine pierced with an 8 gauge needle(although the piercer offered to do a hole punch at 0 gauge) and I barely even noticed it. Of course that's probably pretty easy for me to say considering when I finally got my ears pierced I already had like 14 piercings lol. I'd imagine a nose piercing wouldn't feel too good either though.. I've got my septum pierced and that definitely falls on the list of the more painful piercings I've had done. Its not visible in any of my public pictures(only my profile pic) because every time I shave and do my makeup I flip the ring up inside my nose and forget that its there haha

I agree with you Lynda, life is too short and getting shorter for us mature girls every day. Get those dangleys and wear them proudly. I see guys with dangles more and more and of course when dressed dangles are a must for a pretty girl.

My young granddaughter thinks piercings are cool too, her parents not so much... lol
