I finally did it! This T-Girl finally has pierced ears!
This afternoon, RQS and I went to the local tattoo/piercing shop to get our ears pierced. I had let her make the appointment for the two of us, as I was a little apprehensive about taking this next step towards my feminine self. So, we got up early today and made it out the door by noon, arriving at Big Joe's Tattoo & Piercing at 12:30 pm.
The shop was cleaner than RQS expected, and the place felt "just right" for what we were doing. The piercer first checked to see if RQS's holes were there, and they were. So, she sold RQS a set of studs that would keep her earlobe holes open until they have stretched enough for RQS to use her own pierced earrings. Then it was my turn. After sterilizing my loves, she marked out spots on each lobe and then took out a piercing tool. As quickly as the tool was taken out of its wrapper, the piercing was done and I had tiny studs in my ears.
I'll be doing aftercare for 2-3 months, and then I'll be able to wear my own earrings. Yay! I'll be able to wear my own pierced earrings when RQS and I meet Stephanie in Chicago.
