Its not as great as people make it out to be lol .I also think people never tell you the truth about ear piercings its kinda gross it doesnt hurt at all but this crusty stuff comes out of your ear all the time especially when you get it done because you cant take the earrings out for a while otherwise the hole will close up so it gets this nasty stuff on the earring and yeah not as cool as you may think even if you clean the area it still happens all the time even after that.Plus the cleaning solution they give you it doesnt make a difference still happens.I got mine done at piercing pagoda with a bf and never get it done with a bf because everytime I look at earrings or buy earrings I think of that guy and we are not together it didnt end well lol so I would advise going with a friend or parent not on a date.Its a constant reminder otherwise.
