♫ Got My Ears Pierced! (Review and My Experience)

Holla at my awkward

ears!

Hey everyone! - - - - -

         So today, I FINALLY GOT MY EARS PIERCED!!! I'm so happy and I don't regret a thing. I love my new ears! Getting my ears pierced was something I've wanted for a very long time, but I was contemplating on it because my mom said her ears were really sore, painful, etc. Butttttt, yolo right? Jk, but I did decide to get them pierce because of these following reasons:

         1. I wanted them for such a long time!

         2. My friend got them pierced recently and she said it wasn't so bad so why not?

         3. I love cute earrings *o*

         4. I wanted something new for the new school year

         5. Jumping on the bandwagon that left a longgggggg time ago LOL.

Those are just some of my reasonings, but I seriously love my newly pierced ears. I got my ears pierced at Claire's and it was a very good experience. Remember: The piercing is only free WITH A PURCHASE OF A STARTER KIT which I will describe later. So this is basically what happened:

         1. I asked one of the store associates to get mah ears periced

         2. I sat down on da chair

         3. Picked out my earrings (more details if the next paragraph)

         4. They marked where they were gonna shoot through (not scary as it sounds lol)

         5. *pitch* *pitch* 

         6. Yeah that''s basically it lol.

Now of course there were more stuff to do than that butt, that's the basics. So you do need a parent or guardian or someone 18 and older to be there with you to sign forms. After the forms are signed, you pink out your EARRINGS!

These are what you can pick from :)

Pick from those! So the 'Starter Kit' (basically purchase of earrings and a bottle of solution comes with it). The price depends on which earrings you get, I think it ranges from $19 to $60 max. My earrings were the 3 mm CZ (under Stainless Steel) and it costed $26.50. Ask the associate about the pricing to get the price that best fits for you :)

Next, you go to there ear piercing chair (awkward cause mine was like right behind a glass window aka people can see me but whatevah). And they mark the dots on your ears. You can adjust them unless you think they match.

Then they pull out a mini gun looking thing with a needle attached inside and yeah they just shoot the needle through your ear and that's pretty much it!

The feeling of it

Omg I don't mean for the title to sound wrong for all you dirty minds. lol. It feels like a bad pitch really, it depends on you tolerance. It's not as bad as I thought though, I'll tell you that. Then you pay and get a 16 ounce solution cleaning bottle and a 50% off your next purchase!

Bottle of Cleaning Solution and cute baggg :) sorry for the bad camera

lighting :(

So basically, this is what they give me (picture on right) and some instructions on how to care for your ears. I'll sum it up for ya:

       - Clean your ears with this solution 2-3 times a day, I use a cotton swab, I'm not entirely sure what you can use so you should ask about it,

       - Leave the earrings they put in you for 6 weeks, then you can switch up your earrings but MAKE SURE TO HAVE ONE ON AT ALL TIMES FOR SIX MONTHS!

       - Avoid activities that can put any type of chemical or something in your ear such as hairspray, shampoo, etc.

       - If you need to watch your hair, I suggest bending over so you can use shampoo and conditioner. But remember to do it at your own risk.

That's about it for the ear piercing for now! I'm sure I won't be getting any other piercings. Please make sure the way you pierce your ears are safe! I'm not sure if sleeping on it will irritate anything though, I'll update this. UPDATE 8/5/2013: I think I was mostly paranoid throughout the night so I didn't get the best night''s sleep but it wasnt painful or anything. I was just scared the back might poke me lol. If you're a side sleeper, be careful it might be noticeable. Thanks for reading if you did! REMEMBER I AM ONLY SUMMARIZING WHAT CLAIRE'S TOLD ME TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, DO NOT QUOTE ME ON ANYTHING AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR EARS. THIS IS JUST SOME KIND OF REVIEW. The picture of my ears and the Cleaning Solution are MY PICTURES DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION. Other picture is found off Google :)
