I remember telling my mother about it shes 64 now so 2 years ago.... and my aunt well into her 70s...
They both called me a liar since I used to be SO afraid of needles(now with 11 piercings and 2 tattoos total of 5 hours in the chair)... I ended up taking them both to the bathroom and showing them.
My mother started pokin one around and said WOW those are REALLY IN THERE! (duh)
My aunt then gave me a pair of earrings to put in them
obviously I accepted them graciously and just laugh about it now.
