I had my ears pierced at Claire's on December 10 so I've just past three weeks. I wanted them to use the 3 mm gold balls but they said they were for babies. A few people have noticed my earrings (4 mm gold balls) but no one has commented negatively. In fact, several GGs have thought it 'cool.' I wish I had done it long ago!

My directions are to wear the earrings that they pierced my ears with for 6 weeks; rinsing with disinfectant twice a day. Also, post style earrings should be worn for the first six months. I have taken one out to remove some thread that was caught around the post but I had no difficulty reinserting the earring. I can't wait until I can wear some danglie earrings or some large hoops.

DON'T WAIT--GET IT DONE!
