I went to Micheal @ No Regrets Tattoo Emporium yesterday to have my ears re-pierced from 16 gauge top/bottom to 10 gauge on top & 8 gauge on the bottom. First off, I have to say- the 8 gauge needle looked SCARY. However, Micheal is an awesome piercer. He works faster than a crackhoe on Third Street, so the pain was minimized as much as possible. I will never let anyone else besides him touch me with a needle (well, maybe Joe, but that’s a tattoo needle…) Right now, I’m wearing some posts with large, flat ends. Once I’m healed, I’m hoping to get some sort of decorative plugs. I think they’ll look better than the hoops I was wearing, and they’ll be more aerodynamic (yeah, I’m a dork).
