I've been meaning to get my ear pierced for a while now. For whatever reason, Saturday night seemed like the night to do it. There was a straight pin handy in the bathroom and before I thought to long about it I poked it through my ear. K helped me cut the pin down and the next day we went and got a 20 gauge ring for it. After a fight to get the ring through the whole and another fight to get the damn bead back in the ring... I now have my first piercing. Woo. It looks a bit lonely, but next one I'll probably get done professionally.
It's a little bit sore, but I don't think it's infected. Once it's been in a few weeks I think I'll move up to an 18 or 16 gauge ring.
