Date Done: October 2003
Story: My cousin recently pierced her ears at home and I decided it was worth getting in trouble for if I got caught because I wasn't allowed to pierce my ears again, but I want tons of piercings.
So anyway she stayed on the phone and I marked on my ears with eyeliner where I was going to pierce them, then I held 2 sharp-as-a-needle earrings over a candle flame and rubbed rubbing alchohol on them and my ears. Next I held ice on one ear for 3 minutes and the needle went through painlessly, but it was hard to get through the last layer of skin. Then I quickly did the other ear the same way. Since, I sterilized everything well it didn't get infected.
I'm planning on many more piercings too. I've tried to pierce my belly 7 times now but I keep failing...
