you sound like you're really getting into this earring purchasing. that's cool.

Those Versace ones look cool. they look quite big in the picture. what size is the face of the earring or the part that is pictured? is it more than 1 cm?

Here's a comparative picture of one earring and a US penny for reference.  The earrings aren't too terribly big.

Hi Lew,
Looking at the before and after pics, I think you did the right thing. The Versace earrings look pretty expensive, something to wear to a nice club night out!!

I like the idea of having a jewelry chest, maybe I should get one to organize my stuff. You got any pics of it?

Cheers

Here's the jewelry chest I purchased for my earrings.  It serves its purpose quite well.

I have decided to  try gauging my ears.  Nothing too radical - probable only up to a 6 gauge.   I talked to my piercer about it today.  He said that it should take about 4 months to do it.

I figure, what the heck; if I don't like it I can just let them shrink back.

Good luck with that and hopefully you'll be pleased with the results.

Three Week Ago:



Today:



In addition to a shaved head, today I had both ears pierced and used JFM on my goatee.  I think this is enough of a transformation for right now.  I'm just glad I finally mustered the courage to make some physical changes that were long overdue.
