Ouch?
Nope!
This is a post that I have neglected to publish. For years I have been nagging my parents to let me get my ears pierced and I remember them saying, “when you’re 12!”. I thought the big one two would never come. Guess what? It did.
On Good Friday on the Easter weekend, my mom took me to ‘Peoples’. FINALLY. This was my birthday present. My birthday was actually on the 26th, but that’s another story. I was really nervous because all my friends told me it didn’t hurt but I didn’t believe them. I thought 100% that they were lying. They weren’t. It didn’t hurt at all. Let’s back this up a bit. When we got there, I went over to this little stand to pick my earrings. I got these really cute studs with little square diamonds. They were 14 carrot gold. Even though they were silver… Yeah… Anyway…. Then they loaded… dramatic pause… The gun. That
sounds really harsh…(Gasp) I sat down in the chair and they cleaned my ears. After that they dotted my ears with a purple marker. Awesome, right? PURPLE! Any who, they counted to three. One… Two…. Three…. CLICK.
It didn’t hurt AT ALL. If any readers are out there and are wanting to get there ears pierced, Don’t worry at all. Take it from me. It doesn’t hurt. It’s like someone pinching your ear. It’s not that bad and it is totally worth it.
After they were done they told us to go to a place called ‘Faces and Shear’ to get stuff to clean my ears.
That was about 4 weeks ago and I survived so don’t worry if you are getting your ears pierced. This weekend I am aloud to change them and I have a few funky earrings that I will be wearing in the very near future.
When we left ‘Faces and Shear’ we went to ‘Starbucks’! My absolute favourite beverage destination. But like I said…. That’s another story.

Hi Sophie,
It WAS a very exciting day when we went to get your ears pierced. You were very brave, although I have to say, somewhat pale. I’m glad that it all turned out the way you had hoped. We made you wait long enough!
