The Mad Man Who Thought He Could Pierce Ears

This is, by far, my worst experience EVER. Driven by sheer stupidity, I decided to get my ears pierced(yes, again!) from someone other than the trustworthy person I always faithfully go to. I wanted to try someone "new". So, before I could even give it a second thought, I was in an unfamiliar shop, getting the markings done on my ear where I wanted the piercings. At first, I didn't notice the tool he was going to use. I was focused on the reflection in the mirror, making sure the markings on the ears were perfect and not too far away. Only when I noticed something golden and shiny in my peripheral vision, did I turn and i gawked at the strange hook kinda thing he had in his hand. I freaked out! He obviously WASN'T going to put THAT thing into my ear! I'm not really a huge hygiene freak but eww!! Lord knows if that was steralised and for all I know, the last person he pierced that with might have had some deadly disease!


Clearly, i was just paranoid. I took a deep breath, cleared my head and gathered up courage to do this. Never had a piercing hurt as much as this one did! And to top of, I started to feel dizzy! This never happens to me! I had to sit down and let the blood rush to my head so that the world around me would stop turning. It took quite a while but little did i know that this was just the beginning.


A few days later, the new piercing started to hurt a lot. This was very unusual and that is when i realized that the stud had gone inside the piercing, causing the excruciating pain, because of which I had to remove the stud and let it heal. Decided to not take such risks again and thus, stick to going to the person i always go to for my piercings and as for the mad man, i hope to never see him again.
