Well, unnoticed by Rachel, lurking outside the corner of the booth were three guys, all over 6 feet tall, and one turned to other - the one most obviously 'drunk for courage' and said "Man, now you GOTTA do it! That little girl just shamed you into it!" He had apparently been wanting to get an earring for so long that his friends said they were sick of him talking about it, and it was time to do it!
LOL - men can be such chickens sometimes!!!


I had my ears done when I was 13. My mother's friend took an ice cube, froze my lobe then took a large needle (crochet? or something like that) and pushed it through to a cork. Did both my ears that way - it was painless. It was not the most sterile way to do it, but I never got infections.

Years later I got another hole in my left ear by one of those guns. Then several years later I finally matched the right ear with a 2nd hole (gun again) I have never had an infection yet!
