My entire life I have wanted to pierce my ears because I have always been very feminine heterosexual. The thought of having my ears pierced has thus intrigued me. The secret longing has been there since I was a baby. My feminine side has desired to have beautiful shiny earrings on my ear lobes. Since my early teen years I have dreamt about piercings. Regularly I have dreamt that I had my ears pierced. Now I finally went through with it. I could not take it any longer I was compelled to finally give in.
A couple of times in the past few years I poked a needle through my ears and wore an earring in it for only a night fully intending to let it close the next day. This time I decided to do it and keep them forever.
I knew that my girlfriend would like my ears pierced although she said that she did not care either way. Deep down I could tell that she would rather I had them pierced. She really likes them and tells me that they turn her on. She tells me that I look sexy with studs in my ears and that I look better with my ears pierced than without. She loves my newly pierced ears!
Now for the procedure. I took a sewing needle and I picked out exactly where I wanted the piercing to be on my right ear. Then I pushed the needle through the ear lobe. I got it perfect the first time. Although I had to move the needle around a little bit so that I could insert the earring into my ear. My ear bled only a tiny bit. Once I made the hole big enough the stud went in beautifully I was so happy with the result. Next, I picked out the placement of my left ear. Once I had finished with that I inserted the needle into the ear lobe. This time it was a little more difficult. The first time it did not work perfectly so I had to try again and this time it worked. Like the previous ear, I had to wiggle the needle around a bit to pierce through the entire flesh of my ear. I again made the hole big enough to get the stud through my ear. It too did not bleed much, my ears bled only slightly. I put nice shiny diamond-like studs into my ears. This is what I always wanted my ears to look like.
In fact, they look better than I have ever dreamed. I am so ecstatic that I am beside myself with delight. I am glad that I pierced my own ears instead of going to a shop to pierce them because I saved myself a huge amount of money. I knew that I was capable of doing it myself. As long as a person keeps it sanitary everything should come out well. If you have any doubts about whether you are able or not, do not do it yourself.
I would not recommend doing it one's self because with any piercing far too many things can go incorrectly. Although my piercings came well it is not recommended that one does a self piercing for it is unsanitary. You should always go to a professional or use sanitary a procedure unlike I did, self piercings are not safe unless the proper techniques are used. I did not use safe techniques do not pierce anything using the method I used.
My piercings are fully healed now. It took about two and half weeks to fully heal. I was actually starting to get worried that they would not heal, but they healed perfectly. I have had no infections and they are hardly noticeable without the earrings in them. I am so pleased with the result. I cleaned my ears and the earring daily until they healed completely. I am so happy with my ear lobes pierced. I love the way they look with the shiny earring. It is better than I had ever dreamed.
I feel so relieved to finally get the desire off my chest. I love the way the earring feels in my ear and love to way it feels to the touch especially the sensory touch of the post when I touch the back of my ear. I love it. I am so happy that it is finally done.
One of the reasons I have never pierced my ears is because some people in family and some of my friends think that guys with earrings is either weird or look stupid. I finally decided that I respect their opinion, but I am tried of longing for them and not having them so I just did it. My final decision is that I just won't wear earrings around them so as not to offend them out of respect for them and their opinion.
If anyone is on the fence about whether to go through with it I say do it why make yourself miserable over it. Just do it! You will feel better and relieved once it is finished.
