I did it! I got my ear double-pierced!
It's a little higher than I would've liked, but it's still good. Just gotta get ear-rings of different sizes for each piercing since one is higher than the other.
Did some research online last night about piercings, and found that rubbing alcohol actually irritates the skin, and that saline solution is the best. (That stuff's for cleaning wounds, injections, etc.) The bottle says "Sodium Chloride", so it's probably some salt mixture that kills germs by making them shrivel. "Bits & Pieces" used alcohol on my ear, but after that I went to buy some saline solution that comes in cute little disposable bottles. It throbbed with pain for a while after I got it pierced, but after about an hour with one application of saline, it didn't hurt anymore/at all! Amazing what saline can do, I'll never use alcohol on my piercings again!
My original piercings, I got in Sec one or two. They got infected, I kept putting alcohol on them, believing that it would make the wound heal faster, but 2-3 years later, they still kept hurting! The wound opened really easily, so it hurt a lot of the time. Now that I've had experience, I think it will be good this time. I'm going to keep the stud in there for at least 2 months!
I say, the ear-piercing people have the worst tastes in ear-studs. The studs are so thick and huge that the star doesn't look like a bloody star anymore!
