Little Boom just didn't want another hundred quid, did he? : ) I wanted to get my ear pierced when I was a teen but couldn't afford to get it done at the mall. My dad agreed to do it and walked into the room with a sewing needle and a potato (the potato went behind the ear lobe). He was like a battleground surgeon, had to be with us boys around.
Oh man, I heard about people getting their ears done like that!!
I got mine done "professionally" and our still went all infected and was a pain in the arse for months before I gave up. Should have gone potato home style!!
He numbed it with an ice cube first. It really wasn't that bad except for the sound. It reminded me of a fork going into a raw potato. Oh no! They must not have sterilized the gun they used. Dad sterilized his sewing needle with a Bic cigarette lighter before this potato-style piercing debut!
That is proper sterilisation! I can hear the sound of it in my head right now. Yeek!
