My wife teased me the other night by holding earrings up to my ears and asking our children how they liked them. I tried to get her to pierce my ears that night but she refused. I am still working on her. Meanwhile, I used some straight diamond studs that she had to pierce myself, tonite.
I held a bit of ice up to my ear lobe, cleaned everything good with alcohol and then just pushed the stud through my ear. There was barely any pain but the sound was as if I was popping a hole in my head. I rather liked it. I had a few beers before but repeated the process 3 more times, 2 in each ear.
I pulled them out so I would not be wearing them tomorrow but, I can tell you, I will have them in permanently in the next few weeks. It is no big deal and I actually liked the way they looked. My wife will like them once she sees them herself.
After that, I can add more to each side without too much fuss.
I am 40 and cannot believe I waited this long.
