I have 14 piercings in total. 8 on one ear, 5 on the other and one on my nose. My pride after my hair. I absolutely love how 'metal' my ears look too(literally), along with the rest of my very being. The reactions I get from people are priceless and downright funny, sometimes so much so that I have to stuff my face so as to avoid cackling like an idiot.
The first question I always get asked is, DOESN'T IT HUUUURT? =O Anyone adding extra holes to their bodies in addition to the already existing ones. Well YES. Anything that goes against the the natural order of things will hurt! Or to have some fun, I pull out the drama queen in me and inform people that I have come close to seeing the light many a time due to the self-infliction I put myself through. The evil streak in me shall forever persist.
It really doesn't. I took my sister and her best friend along once when I went to get one of my piercings done, and they heard the gun shot click as the needle pushed out a little flesh and skin and they were absolutely revolted by the whole scenario. Of course it does sting, but only for a few seconds, after which my ear goes all numb. And sometimes I tend to hear things wrong. Or as I like to say, I go selectively deaf. For instance after I got one of my piercings, and my mother kept shouting for me, I blamed it on my new earring for not being able to hear her. Didn't work the second time though.
I got my first piercing when I was 10. I was so psyched! Plus I got to show off to everyone because piercings were not all that common ten years ago. I got my next one after I managed to achieve a milestone: first rank. That was in 2006 during the FIFA World Cup in Germany. I stayed up for every one of the 64 matches, which went on till about 3 every morning, woke up in time for school, got back, and repeated the cycle. Honestly, it's amazing the things you do when you really want something!
Then every time I felt I had achieved some sort of success, off I went to pierce my ears. I should have ten by now, but I used to keep changing my earrings and some closed really quickly. So I'd have to re-pierce. I was always facinated by earrings and I did not appreciate the fact that I could only wear two at a time. So I figured if I had ten holes on each year, I'd have a whole story going on on both ears! And I do ;) I wear different earrings on each piercing =P
I've been told I could start a shop =P
I've been asked if I'm going to further venture onto my face and add even more jewellry on it. But no. I think I'm good with this. I did want an eyebrow piercing. But I am slightly concerned that if it does go wrong, I might become half blind, along with being half deaf. So.
Ear piercing according to me is the most elegant. It doesn't affect a person's looks too much. Sometimes if I don't want them to be seen, I wear my hair out and cover my ears from the world. The only other girl I know who has almost as many as me is Kenza! At one point we were actually competing =P
Anyone else with more than 14 on their ears? =D
