Yeah, or something like a Kokopelli deal, or a peace symbol, lightening bolt, moon and stars, just as long as its not some dangling crap like I wear that makes everyone question my sexuality till I remind them that I know their dad.

However nothing looks quite as NFL as super big horse chocking diamonds, but they are kinda pricey.

Got it. I'll have to go earring hunting then.

Ahhhhh, nothing more manly than the hunt.  Just make sure you remember that the hunt ends in finding what your looking for, not in killing the person taking the money.  Had I known that it would have saved me ten years in prison.

Right on Muffin!!! 

Let us know how it goes 

Yay I got mine done this morning! no where near as bad as I thought it would be.
I just got regular studs to begin with, even though there were some awesome amethyst gold studs that were tiny and cute but no... just plain to begin with. Damn my pragmatic side
Anyways I took a piccy.....................
[pic removed]

Looks nice Muffin 

Those are the same kind I got with my first piercing 

Same Here

I replaced them with bigger studs after about 48hrs 'cos my lobes swelled up and started to swallow them. I went to the GP who took one look and said 'STOP TOUCHING THEM' I think he wanted me to stop touching them.

A course of antibiotics and stop touching them and cleaning all the time and no worries.

You need to twist them every hour or so in the beginning, or your ears will heal so they stick to the earrings.Preferably this process is done with a nice amount of alcohol (rubbing alcohol! Not what you're thinking.)

Mmm Maybe that's were I went wrong. One for the right ear, one for the mouth, one for the left ear, one for the mouth. Byze the wayze wes the cotin wol

I did rotate and in fact rotated the sleeper off the right one the first day . I think that was when I got them infected. I think don't touch except with a sterile swab or an alcohol tissue is the way.

Cindy

It looks very pretty Muffin, peroxide works better than rubbing alcohol.

You're going to looovvveee your first pair of long earrings

I almost believe that you might do that...

Nah, I would never have been caught.  I spend twenty+ years (on both an amateur as well as professional level) on what amounted to a coast-to-coast interstate crime spree (we just called it Summer Dead Tour though) never got as much as a parking ticket.

But you forgot to mention your two biggest crimes....Narcissism and Thread Jacking

*Warms up ping pong paddle*

So, how many piercings do you currently have?

If those are crimes, I'm in trouble. 

Do you have any piercings?

Oh right, the topic.. =P

I don't have any piercings, but lately I've been thinking seriously about getting my ears done.  Maybe next week .

Ears have 2 holes in each.

Hmmmmm  Okay.....For a moment there I thought maybe the hand cuffs and ping pong paddle thing wasn't enough for you and you were holding out for the Cat Woman with a whip thing 

Now run along and get your ears pierced like a good girl. I'll be expecting pic.s and a full report

For those of you that have piercings.....Post some pic.s ......Make sure to clean your ears

One in each ear, which is two, which as high as I can count.

Two in left ear and three in right ear.   Although I rarely wear the third in my right ear.   I love earrings

bumps - how are they doing muffin?

It's been just over 3 weeks and so far so good, they were only sensitive the first night and even then it was nothing to keep me awake. I must admit I haven't been spraying them as much this week >_< but I don't touch them so they should be clean enough. I so can't wait to put something different in. My mum gave me two pairs that she had that she never wore so as soon as the six weeks up and I'm going to try them ^_^
Half way there!!!!
