I got shot today!!!

[JessicaSondelli]

Twice... One shot in each ear... [emoji23]

I'm so glad I've finally done this. I wasn't really prepared though to show my ID. Yikes...

Anyway... Just had to tell you that my first surgery was successful.

Love you all
Jessica

EARRINGS?!
I've never been a big advocate of piercing guns, as they tend to cause more tissue trauma and keloid scarring over hollow needle, but that's still mega sweet!

Lmao. Nice clickbait [emoji23] congrats (:

Was it less painful than electrolysis?  I've been getting lit up pretty regularly and they have cleared about a third of my face. So far I have considered root canals because they are less painful. How long does it take before you can wear dangly earrings.

My personal bias would be to get pierced with hollow needle over gun, guns a bit more painful because it forces the blunt post of the earring through the earlobe and they simply attach the backing. The whole process is pretty painless, hollow needle is a thicker hole initially, I would safely say that you could put in the jewelry you want as early as 3 weeks. (Maximum healing time ranging between 9-12 weeks, earliest 3-6.)

Sea salt soaks, tea tree oil, and polysporin are all good choices for aftercare and cleaning. Avoid rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide like black death.

Jessica, wow, congratulations....so simple but such a big step. Be rigorous with the care and feeding of your new earrings and you will be able to start experimenting with new looks in no time. Actually it feels like it takes forever to get to when they tell you that you can try different earrings but from then on....so much fun!

Dawn, I have had lots of electrolysis and also root canals. Not even in the same league. I got one ear done 40 years ago and the other 1 year ago. The process has changed very little. Both were done at mall shops. Choose the studs that you want to wear for the next bucketful of weeks, sit down and before you know it, it's done. Yes it stings a bit but the process is so quick that at least for me, no biggie, I have stubbed my toe a lot worse. Just closely follow the cleaning and care procedures specified by the vendor. And enjoy.

I had my ears pierced years ago with a sterile needle at a professional piercing place. It was more expensive but safer and cleaner I think.

I had most of my body piercing done at a place owned an operated by a Germaphobe with OCD.
Worth every penny.

Congratulations!

I had mone done with the gun thingy initially.  But after a couple of months, I couldn't get earrings in any more.  The holes hadn't closed, but they weren't tidy.  The gun didn't do a good job.  I went to a proper piercing place and had them cleaned up.  No problems since.

The piercing dude looked scary, and I had to listen to rap music while he worked, but he was a stickler for cleanliness and did a good job.

Once upon a time I was training to be a body piercer myself. :3
May still end up that route, who knows where the future leads?
(In my case, you'd be hearing awful gutteral screaming and shredding guitars though for the most part XP)

Congratulations Jessica !     It's a wonderful feeling isn't it. Had mine done last month. Now hit all the after holiday sales at your favorite jewelry store .   

[Denise]

Did mine last Friday.  The best decision ever.  I'm still in cloud nine! 

How about you?

I first pierced mine when I was 15. I used a sterile needle from home. Tried, and failed hiding that from my parents, not an easy thing to do.

Hey Dee! Good to hear from you.

I got some simple golden stubs and can't wait to get really cute pieces in there. I had one ear pierced about 20 years ago but couldn't get anything through anymore after not wearing earrings for years.

It's something so simple and small but unbelievably awesome! One of those things cis people will never understand.

Hope to see you soon down here.

It wasn't painful at all. I have only done laser so far but it doesn't compare at all to those nasty never-ending stings on my face. Thanks for reminding me... My next laser session is on Thursday. Number 8 it is...

Congrats. Did mine last July right after my 2nd HRT appt.  A celebration, or rite of passage if you will, to mark my entry into the the life of hormonal womanhood. 

Went wild on Aliexpress dot com for awhile. So many cute earring. So cheap. So little time.

Now I'm starting to make earrings. What fun.

[AnneK]

I had my ears pierced about 25 years ago, when I was into full cross dressing.  It was done with a needle though, not a gun.  I still wear gold studs all the time.

[JeanetteLW]

Congrats Jessica. I've had double piercings for quite a few years now. All done with the sewing needle and ice cube method

Hugs,

Congrats. I got mine done yesterday too. I opted for the needle though. Didn't really hurt much. Yeah I've been getting laser too and that is WAY worse. Here we go, trudging the happy road to destiny!

[cheryl reeves]

Congrats I had mine done with a gun at Wal-Mart my wife surprised me that was 18 yrs ago,
