Well, I just got home, I left at about 3:00 this afternoon and got back at 1:00 am. When I got there, the jewelry I had picked out ended up being too short for my fat earlobes, so I had to go get another pair. The ones I found were bigger than I thought I would be getting today, but I was cool with 0 gauge. When I got back to the shop, I was kinda nervous as the dermal punch was rather large.
I had my best friend with me, and she was keeping me cool. I laid back and relaxed and she set about getting me ready. After about 5 minutes of preperation, she asked me if I was ready. I said yeah, and she put a stack of tongue depressors behind my ear under the dot to stop the blade as it came thru. Then with a quick turn, she spun the punch thru my ear. It felt aproximately like my mom grabbing ahold of my ear when I did something wrong as a kid, which was quite often, so i was used to it. I bled like a stuck pig. It didn't really hurt, but I wound up with blood on my shirt, all down my neck, in my hair, everywhere even thru the gauze she had put down. The other side went about the same, the only difference was my ear on the left side has a little wrinkle, so there was a little bit of skin still hanging on after the blade went thru. One quick slice of a scalpel and it was gone. The bleeding slowed after a bit, and the plugs went in, and fell out the other side. It seems my ears are very pliable, so I wound up with 00 gauge holes and 0 gauge plugs.
A quick trip to my favorite jewelry website and a little extra for overnight delivery and I'll have a new set of eyelets on friday! It seems I'm oozing blood again, so I'm gonna go clean it up and finally crash, but I'll keep this updated and should have pics up soon!
