Sophia was so thrilled to get her ears pierced we were the first two to show up at Claire's on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. When we found out that there was only one employee working we decided to come back later when Sophia could have both of her ears pierced at the same time by two different people.
When we arrived back at 1:00 Sophia selected her earrings and we went through the "maintenance how-to" and then it was time! YEA!!! Ok, they marked her ears with purple dots to determine the location. They loaded the earrings into the "gun" and BAM! That was it. There was no way Sophia was going to let anyone near her ears with that thing.
We left. I decided to take her to Target and we walked around and discussed that it wasn't going to hurt very much, that she was a brave girl and could handle it, etc. We even saw a girl in her 20s that must have had 6 piercings in each ear.
In the process I somehow threw out there that I would get my ears pierced again just to show her that it doesn't hurt. She decided this idea would work and we headed back to Claire's. I have to admit I was a little nervous as I sat in the chair and got marked with purple dots. It actually didn't hurt very much. Just as I suspected. A sharp pinch, but once I put on the cooling, calming cleaning solution everything felt much better. I only noticed it for an hour or so. I slept fine that night and was twisting them around the next day. No sweat!
But now I have three holes on each side!
