So how many of you fashinable people are big on body piercings? Multiple earrings , nose ring, even tongue ring... I know lots of people who have pierced holes all over their ears and strut flashy looking earrings. An ex colleague had had his tongue pierced (though for the life of me, I don't know what good piercing of an unseen body part would do?)
I have pierced my ears 6 times ! But on the same spot .. how? - you ask. Well, the story goes like this ..
Like any other traditional South Indian family, my parents had my ears pierced when I was a year old.
But of course me being the rebel even back then, refused to wear my earrings and the hole closed in. At Four, my mother decided she could not have a four year old with no earrings and we got my ears pierced at my dad's hospital. (I must be the only person to have had her ear pierced in an operation theatre). I was told my wails were heard two floors down.
Three years rolled by, and my ear lobes were free of earrings again. Some fellow in the family was getting married and my mom realized I could not wear the pretty "Jhimkis" she'd bought for me. A trip to the hospital was inevitable.
After this my mother had had enough and she ensured that I wore some earring or the other on a regular basis. Things seemed to finally settle down. I still hated wearing earrings, but family functions on a regular basis ensured that my ear lobe carried earrings.
After i completed my graduation, I relaxed a bit on the earring front. Bad Idea. A year later some cousin got married and I had to rush to a Jewellery shop to get a gun shot. The enthusiastic guy who was to give me the gun shot asked me where I wanted to pierce my ears suggesting crazy places like the top of my ears... When I told him I had to pierce my ears in just the lobe, he gave me a look of shock. I think it was his first time giving a shot to the lobe - poor guy!
The next few years were uneventful. No one bothered about my earrings (or the lack of it on my ears) until my Big day arrived. A week before my wedding, my mom and I were struggling to fit in a pair of beautiful earrings on my ears. Both of us accused each other and started a shouting match until finally my dad came to my rescue. This time I was given a numbness shot in my ear before the actual ear piercing. And so my marriage went off peacefully.
The last one was just a month after my wedding. Isnt that crazy? Even now I hate wearing earrings. I dont understand what people see in them? For me they are strictly for collecting and locking them away in cupboards.
