When I had my ears pierced (many, many years ago), I had studs put in. My ear lobes were quite "plump" and the gun made an odd noise ... I was advised to use TCP lot bath my ears if they oozed.
Are you thinking of any further piercings Mim? Lily
My ear lobes are slimmer nowadays, the only bits that are ...
I wasn't allowed my ears pierced until I was 18. My dad asked me to drive into the vet to collect some pills for a cow or some such not long after my 18th birthday. When u got there the vet was shut for lunch so I went and got my ears pierced whilst I waited. My dad's face was a picture when I got back. The poor old devil thought I had it done at the vets lol
I had my done with my first wages when I was 16 - never told anyone just went to a jeweller under the arches (long since demolished) near Moorgate Station. Cost me £1.10s.0d including gold studs!
My mother pierced her sisters ears with cork and a needle apparently!!!!! Would not let me have mine pierced so hence the above trip to Moorgate Station
Many years later she had hers pierced at a jewellers ... .
