When I was a young pup, my auntie got my ears pierced.
My Gran (livedwith her) never changed or checked the ear rings, so by the time I was about 6yr old, the skin had grown over the back of them. :o
My step mum had to open them out with a needle.
Blinking hurt. :blink:
I have 3 piercings in one of my ears, had the top part done.
But it was by a guy on the market, who pierced the cartilage.
It used to ooze pus a lot.
Eugh! <_<
Learnt my lesson with piercings, never doing it again. :)
