I couldn't drive so there where these "self-piercing ear-rings" at the local drug store....I put them on my ears... they where circles & one end was sharp & I have to squeeze them every day til they eventually work their way through  Would that be considered torture now a days I finally got my holes...& dad didn't really care after the fact.... When did you pierce yours & was it a big deal? |
Yep, I used the same thing in 1971 I think, 7th grade. It WAS torture,
