owch :'(

hellooo :)
well i decided i wanted to get flesholes in my ears, and ofcourse the ears have to be stretched first, and i did my first stretch with 2mm tapers yesterday, i was in the shop 'guru' with my friend and the smallest was 1.6mm which i wanted to get and she said ''nooooooo, just go straight to the 2mm, you wont feel it'' so i bought them and we went to a bar for a drink whilst i built the courage to put them through my ears, now i have a reasonable pain threshold but omg this hurt, and i think cause i got the curved ones it was harder to put through than the straight ones, so that made it hurt even more. i spent about 10 minutes putting just one in and it hurt so much i decided to leave the other for later, and now they are both in, but im so glad cause they look awesome.. but they still hurt so bad, apparently i should be able to go up another size (3mm) in a week, and im not getting huuuugeee flesholes, im only going to about 8mm so that if i ever change my mind they can always heal. any bigger and they wont heal.. oh and an old woman today told me i will look like a dirty punk haha but in all fairness i dress and act very feminine so there is no chance of me being a '''dirty punk' (who uses the word punk nowadays?) and im getting them cause i love they way they look and they're a bit edgy which i love, but im still rocking my heels and dresses lol.. so anyway that was just a random bit of information about my ears lol enjoy :D xxx
