I was walking down 2nd avenue after having breakfast and it hit me. It was finally time to get my ears pierced.

Much like my first tattoo, I needed to be in a place that was right for it. And I had finally gotten there for my ears to be pierced. So I walked over to New York Adorned and had a consultation. I would have gotten them pierced that day but they didn’t have the larger gauge piercing needles clean.

So today, Saturday, I returned to get them pierced. He’s using an 8 gauge needle and stretching to a 6. My first goal is a 0 gauge. I’ll need to evaluate with the piercer as I go along because I don’t have large earlobes. However, I’m in love with some 0 gauge talons, various stone plugs, and with some 5/8″ ebony lotus plugs.

So here is the after picture. You can click it to see a series of before and after pictures of me.
