Poll You Be The Judge!

For your reference:
New Harmony. I have been before, but it was like 10 years ago, and you know how I am about socialism.

Piercing in Vincennes. This place comes recommended by Ainsley, who had her nose done and was pleased, so despite the site design, I trust her judgment.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi? He'll be WOWED, for sure.

By my awesome being-up-with-early-utopian-movements or my double-pierced ears? XD

Make sure he looks kinda like a monkey or else Nobunaga will have a fit. :o

If it'll be big, back; small, upper arm.

Or, have Nobunaga drape his arm over Monkey. 8D

I'm just having another hole put in my ears, not getting a tattoo--that's all I can afford right now. XD

I'm going to pick ear piercing so I can live vicariously through you. I need to get mine pierced again but I've had baaaad experiences. Twice. So I am being a chicken.

Yaaaayyy!!! It's Pixel omg! Yayyyy! :D

Dude, apparently you have no luck with your ears. D: These weren't, like, trip-to-the-ER bad experiences, were they?

It is my lot in life to be the focus of everyone's fantasies ;)

Hahah yeah I am back! It's been hectic. ;__

Oh, eww--poor Pixel, that's horrific. DDDD: I was 13 when I had the first holes put in, and my parents made me prove that I could take care of them first before they'd allow me to have it done, so I didn't have a whole lot of problems (other than that my right ear has had some Staying Open Properly issues; I finally gave up and keep earrings in it as much as possible so it doesn't close altogether).

Teeny bopper stores are horrifying. Your sensitive skin is probably at least partially at fault for the swollen lobes, but also, the ear piercing guns they use at those places can't be properly sterilized. (Rubbing alcohol does not get the job done.) Not, you know, to give you a case of the galloping paranoids or anything.

If you do decide to have them pierced again (eventually), I'd go to a reputable professional piercer. If they're on the up and up, they won't mind when you're all like SHOW ME YOUR AUTOCLAVE OMG.
