Did I go too far this time?

Semi-Sly:
So, over the past two years I acquired first one, and then a second, earring.  And I am 61 years old!  Right now I have tiny black studs in my ears.  I would like to be able to change jewelry from studs, to little hoops, to tiny diamonds, etc. but I cannot do it myself.  These ear studs are not like ladies' earrings with the big prongs that stick out of the back of them an have big clips to hold them in place.  These are really tiny and when I try to change them myself I cannot find the back side of the hole and wind up turning my inner ear lobes into a bloody pulp.

yesterday there was a guy getting a haircut in the chair across from mine.  He was telling us that he is a full time corporate guy and a DJ on the weekends.  A far cry, he said, from a guy who started out as a licensed body piercer!.  I noticed that he was wearing moderate black ear tunnels.  He said that this was a big as he dared go because of his day job.  I told him I wished that someone made really tiny ear tunnels so that I could put jewelry studs through the tunnels rather than trying to push them through my flesh.  He said that while not exactly "tiny" he could order some that were only 14 gauge.  He said he would order them for me and put them in if I would like.  I told him to go for it.  He said that he would have them by the end of the week.

Have I gone too far this time?

TheDome:
No, not if it makes you happy. Life is too short to worry about such things. If you're not doing yourself or someone else harm, go for it.

BaldBassMan:
14 gauge isn't that bad at all. They aren't tiny, but you also aren't going to be going super stretched out either. I got my ears pierced when I was 18, had them done at a professional tattoo and piercing studio that used a real needle and immediately put 16 gauge ear rings in. It'll sting a little bit getting them in, but its not that bad.

mrzed:
My earring is 12 gauge.

Sly Red:
I'm at 14mm, Semi-Sly and you know how conservative I am.  ;)
