DD: @ the messed jobs

I only got my ears pierced twice. The first time in 3rd grade it lead to an infection because I didn't wear real gold earrings? (That's the usual reason right?) So we waited a couple of years and did it again. The second time, it was really painful, and I wasn't expecting the pain since it didn't hurt the first time. I guess it was cause they were not done healing? o-o Anyways, that one lead to a worst infection so... Yeah. No pierced ears for me. We were careful the second time though, not sure what lead to my infection.

Some earrings are very pretty though. Yours sounds cute Pebbles~

It hurt like a mofo. I got it done at Claires, and the chick screwed up the back somehow, but it took forever to get the earring off, somehow it was jammed.

Now they're closed up.

I feel mean that I laughed but poor yosei D:

You know my health teacher got his ears pierced, both actually. He doesn't wear them anymore since like 10 years, because someone went up to him and ask:

"You swing?"

After that, we took them off, and never wore them again.

I got my ears pieced when I was 11 (1967 - way before most of you were born).

Back then we did it ourselves with a sewing needle, cotton thread & a raw potato.

We used the larger needles in a pack so that we could get three or four strands of thread through the eye of the needle.

We would numb the ear lobe with ice. We cut the raw potato in half and put the cut side of one half against the back of the ear lobe and then stick the threaded needle through the ear lobe and into the potato and then pull it on through by backing the potato away from the lobe.

Once we had the needle through we just tied the threads into a loop and twice a day we would soak the thread with rubbing alcohol and pull the threads so they moved a little at a time. We kept that up for two or three weeks until the ears were healed a bit and then we switched to regular earrings.

My ears are still pierced even though I may go for weeks or months without wearing earrings at all.
