Actually, the knitting is coming along really well.  I'm using Noro Kureyon and I'm making a scarf that uses short rows and wraps & turns to make semi-circular shapes.  It's really pretty!

Nah, it wasn't too bad.  No worse than getting blood drawn.  Mind you, I do have a high tolerance for pain...

Thank you, I agree!

It really wasn't that bad.  It's throbbing a bit now, and I'm sure tonight will be interesting...but it really wasn't and isn't that bad.

It actually looks better than I thought it would.  Maybe it was the hair over the ear in the other picture...made me think "pubic" heh, not attractive.

Your picture looks better than that one.  They should use your shot instead of the pubic over the ear one.

Yes.  Nikki measure my ear with callipers to determine what size bar to use...and then she decided to use a slightly biger (1/8" bigger) one so that I'd have plenty of room to swell.

Yes.  He said "It doesn't look too bad" which is about as close to "looks great! I love it!" as I'm going to get from him.

It hurt less than some of my other piercings, which surprised me.

hehe....yeah, it's not the best photo, is it?  I'll send my photo and story into BME, which is where I saw the photo at.

Trust me, getting pierced isn't as bad as you think.  People think that getting your tongue pierced is bad because they bite their tongue and it hurts like a mofo, but getting it pierced isn't as bad as that.

Thank you!

Men get pierced too!  I've seen guys with more piercings than you can shake a stick at!
