Having had the former once, all others, including the 5 cartilage piercings I sport, have been done with needles by specialists. Given the unique challenge of forcing through the tragus, for example, I would not want the likes of Saturday Chantelle in charge of target practice.P T Barnumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-18273404886295899372014-02-23T21:28:30.394+00:002014-02-23T21:28:30.394+00:00A little story:
Many years ago I worked in a jewel...A little story:<br />Many years ago I worked in a jewelers. I have, indeed pierced ears myself but the task was usually undertaken by my partner in crime. We, of course had the stud gun & La Burrows is, of course, perfectly correct. The best choice for a piercing is the sleeper ring which can be turned & the wound kept clean. But the store manager is also correct. The majority of the infections result from the recipients fiddling with the stud with filthy fingers.<br />This was back in the days when it first became popular for males to sport earrings. Now we used to pierce the ears of young girls. Not with great enthusiasm but better a shop than Mum with a needle & cork. And never, never babies. That's sick. But one never heard a murmur of complaint from the young lasses. Squirt of freezer. Twang. And out they went proudly with their new earrings to show off to their friends. The lads had a difference experience to look forward to.<br />First was the "You won't be wanting the freezer will you? Tough guy like you's not bothered by a little prick"<br />Shaking of head with paling features.<br />Then the taking of an old stained darning needle, broken off at the eye & the ostentatious sharpening with a foot long rough file. If proceedings went as far as the actual piercing, it was palmed & the correct one inserted in the piercing tool. But the bets on the dead faint collapse from the stool had already been taken & regularly won.bloke in spainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-80726173214081225002014-02-23T15:51:19.586+00:002014-02-23T15:51:19.586+00:00Oh, I'm a bit disappointed now, I thought you ...Oh, I'm a bit disappointed now, I thought you might be discussing the relative sizes of sinkholes due to erosion and collapsed mine shafts.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-76142314012865927522014-02-23T14:37:37.566+00:002014-02-23T14:37:37.566+00:00A hot nail and cork works...A hot nail and cork works...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-58082502615441526422014-02-23T13:09:25.764+00:002014-02-23T13:09:25.764+00:00So both my ears should have dropped off by now?So both my ears should have dropped off by now?Longriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139120804208136012noreply@blogger.com
