[Kimberly A.]

Hey y'all! I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I got my ears pierced today!! WOO HOO!! LOL I got small, September birth stones and y'all will see pics when I post more. :D

[Cassiek]

Hooray for you Kimberly I am still a clip on girl one day maybe that will change

[Krea]

Yay! :yippee: That's wonderful news Kimberley. I am really pleased for you. :thumbsup:
Isn't it the most amazingly happy feeling when you finally get them done?
That's a real milestone moment in your journey. Best wishes!

[Kimberly A.]

Thank you! :) I hear ya, Cassie..... Yeah, maybe so. If you're worried about the pain, I'm telling ya, it ain't THAT bad. It feels kinda like being bit by an ant, for only a few seconds. My earlobes stung a little, (not bad at all), for just a few minutes after that. It's been a couple of hours now and it doesn't hurt now at all. LOL

Thank you, Krea! :) Yes, I totally agree. LOL

Awesome!! Now you have unlimited possibilities in you choices of earrings. I had my wife do mine about 6 weeks ago with the kits you get on Amazon for $10.00. With a little ice on your ear for a minute before you pierce, no pain at all. And oh the earrings I have collected during those six weeks!!! Welcome to the club girl.

[CynthiaD]

I love having my ears pierced. You won't regret getting it done. In today's culture you can wear studs all the time, even in male mode, and it's no big deal.

[Maria 60]

That's great, it just opened a whole new selection of earrings. That was the best day when my nephew asked why I wasn't in style and get my other ear pierced. Its was so cool to wear any earring and you can now do the same.

[Casey41]

It?s funny that I?ve never considered that before.

[JoanneNY]

Casey41, Don't dwell on it ... this or that.. who cares, just do it !You will realize that no one will even notice....

[Pumped]

I mentioned getting my ears pierced to my wife, and she said, NO! Funny, because a few years ago, before my CD'ing she wanted me to get them pierced and I never did it!

[brenne]

I got my ears pierced sometime around 2012? But I haven't used earrings since around 2015. I'll find out someday soon whether my earlobes have closed up, since I'm trying on the clothes again. :battingeyelashes:

[Just Dana]

That's great! Good on you. I've also never thought about it, at least not since Jr. High when one of my friends got an ear pierced. Hmmm...

Did it myself with the Amazon kit four weeks ago.I took out the piercing studs Sunday and replaced with some gold studs.Getting the backs off he piercing studs was a real chore and I thought I'd need help with them which would have been a problem since I'm staying away from people. Putting the backs on is very difficult for me. I've ordered some plastic backs and hopefully they'll work better for me where backs are required. I probably will mainly wear small hoops which are hinged. Any suggestions on putting on the backs? Anyone use a forceps to hold the back? Anyway, I have a souvenir of Covid 19 which hopefully is the only one.

I managed to get one in the left -- now I just need a wig... (the profile pic in over 6 years old & I purged away a nice wig...)
(And to figure out how to add images...)

[Leasa Wells]

congratulations, I can tell you it was the best decision I made of 2020. I never liked clip-ons and now I have more earrings than I know what to wear with.

[Davina Katherine]

Way To Go, Kimberly!

[Lana Mae]

Yes, alright, Kimberly! Be sure to follow the after care instructions to avoid infection and you have it! Congrats! Hugs Lana Mae

[Cheryl T]

Congratulations....
Now just follow the instructions you received and keep them clean and in no time you'll be able to wear the multitude of styles available.
Enjoy...

Brenner, I got mine done around 2003 and used to wear earrings in drab in my 50's but haven't for about ten years. Now I only wear them when I crossdress which has been infrequent due to lack of opportunities. When I do wear then now I sometimes have to push them through a small amount of resistance but it's not a big deal. They don't grow back completely and you should be able to go a while without and not experience any issues.

[JIJI Xx]

had both ears pierced 40-odd years ago.... started 'dressing' about 6 years ago.... no problemo..... （⌒▽⌒）

Well I used lens cleaner to wipe my ear with before putting the stud in, and wore the stud for an hour or 2, and the ear looks OK today. :)

[Cheryl T]

Mine are double pierced in both ears and I had them done 15 years ago or so.
I always wear diamonds in the uppers and sometimes something in the lowers in drab, but love being able to wear something pretty and feminine in the lowers. I adore the look.
Can't imagine going back to those clip on earrings I used to wear.

Kimberly, Congratulations.

Good for you Kimberly! But ya know... those studs are just the beginning! Because now you can shop for all kinds of pretties to dangle from your lobes. I'm debating getting a second set of piercings, as soon as I can spare the cash. :)

You just have to make sure that you follow the after care instructions.

[susanmichelle]

Mine are triple pierced. Makes a statement wearing double or triple hoops sometimes but the only one I regretted getting pierced was upper left ear in the cartilage. Ouch it hurt forever thought it would never heal. At the time I wore glasses too and would rub as well. But no I can wear either a stud or small gold or silver hoop there too.

There are some with large plastic rings that are easier to put on then the small ones. They also help keep your earlobe straight with heavier earrings. Also there are clamps almost like a surgical clamp that you can get to help hold them to get them on. I had to do this when my nails were really long.

[Denise55]

congrats to you !!! I have not done it yet. I think about it alot but the grief I would get at work is holding me back. I don't think it would ever end.

[Kimberly A.]

Thank you, ladies for all of your kind, supportive words! :) Yes, y'all I am following the after-care instructions, keeping my earlobes clean, rotating the earrings, etc. and no problems yet..... Hopefully I won't have any problems. LOL

[Tiffany8cd]

I have one ear pierced. Did that when I was a teen. When I used to dress, I always wore the clip on earrings maybe ill take the plunge and get my other ear done and say that its my early midlife crisis kicking in lol.

[JoannaCD]

Thanks Jennifer. I got some bullet backs from Amazon that are easier to grip and also to line up with the posts. I've also found that small spherical studs are the most difficult to get the back on. I think I'll start a thread asking about earrings worn.

[adelinapa]

So, i've had three holes all closed up for decades and have been considering getting them redone. It's just ... so many earring styles vs my kids stinkface if i get them redone. The whole six week period of wearing them at the beginning is the holdup.

Congrats on making that leap! :)
