I finally did it! I have wanted a tragus piercing since I was probably 12 years old. I was driving past the local tat shop/piercing booth and thought to myself "Why not me? Why not today?."Haha, ten bucks for whoever knows where that line is from. So I called them up and talked to the owner, who happens to be a friend of a friend. I ask about pricing and bringing my kid and he says all is cool. So off we go, down the yellow brick road. I lay on the piercing chair and already Gracie is not feelin' it. I asked her if she remember getting her ears pierced, and how lovely they look now. She still isn't liking things-probably she can sense my anxiety. After about ten minutes, I am good to go and lovin' life. They look super cute and I am happy with my decision to just go for it. I have heard it was fairly painful, but I wasn't expecting what it felt like at all. I have 8 other piercings, but I can safely say these two bad boys hurt the worst. I think part of what makes it so painful is how slow he went. You have to be very careful, otherwise you could also pierce through the clonch. I watched a few YouTube vids of others getting pierced and saw why mine took so long. About 90% of the piercers shown used forceps, and also had a hollow tube in which to slide it into, making for a quicker procedure. I wonder why my guy didn't use those. It doesn't' matter now, who cares how they do it as long as everything is sterile and my ears don't rot off, right?
