First Time Getting My Ears Pierced
nuts:
I agree with others - the transformation is remarkable . A completley different look. Hope your wife is happy with the changes.
Lew:
Thanks for the positive comments. I'm very pleased with the results.
@AJ Q-Ball - Good luck with your piercing next month. You'll be so glad you did it and will probably wish you had done it sooner. My wife was a little freaked out but now she's on board. It's all good.
@ SirHarry225 - Hair Club has different tiers they use for their systems (hair pieces). I started out on the bronze program which is the cheapest (entry level) program for members. You could detect upon close inspection that it was a hair piece. I eventually moved up to the next tier which was silver. The quality of the system was better and less detectable. A few years ago I moved up to the gold system which is a significantly better product and very difficult to detect. The downside is that I was paying nearly twice as much per month on the gold plan as I was on the bronze. Hair Club isn't cheap. Let's just say I bought a brand new car a month ago and my former Hair Club maintenance dues are paying for my car.
@ mazed - I went with the 18 gauge for starters. I want to start off slow and work my way up.
@ nuts - My wife is happy with my new look. It's weird for me because I have always had a very conservative look which was a prerequisite for my career. Now that I'm doing different work I have more leeway in my appearance. I like it!

Thanks Lew! I would've done it sooner but work wouldn't allow me. I'll have a really long break starting next Tuesday on the 7th so that's when I'll get my ears done. I went into the piercing parlor yesterday to make an appointment and the one I talked to said I could just walk in when I'm ready. I'm pretty sure I'll go for 16 gauge CBRs. As far as your wife goes, the change just probably threw her for a loop but it's nice that she's coming around. Like I said earlier, you have a nice look. The earrings just made it even better. Excellent move on your part!
paperclip:
Congratulations on the transformation.
the earrings look good.
I am 51 as well so you're certainly not too old to get it done.
Lew:
Today finally arrived; it is the six-week point from the day I initially got my ears pierced and the day I could finally remove my starter earrings and replace them with new ones. I had somewhat of a difficult time getting my earrings out but after exerting a little force I was successful. I compulsively followed the directions my licensed piercer gave me and experienced no problems whatsoever. Putting my new earrings in was completely effortless. Pictured below is one earring out of eleven pairs I have purchased to date.
My wife was initially against me getting my ears pierced but now she's completely on board. It's funny how people can make such a big deal out of a relatively small thing. Anyway, I'm pleased with the results.
