While I am unable to recall the exact age I was when I got my ears pierced, I think I was somewhere around the age of ten. My mom took me to Claire’s (lol) in our local mall to get the job done, and I had a piercing in each ear for many years.
When I was a teenager, I decided I wanted to get second holes pierced in my earlobes, and so I did. A few years after that, I opted to get both of my helixes pierced, and while I can’t say I would ever get my helixes done again if I were able to go back in time because of the countless infections and the agony of trying to lie on a pillow, I do quite like them and how they look.
I recently stumbled across an at-home ear piercing kit on Amazon, and naturally, I had to order it and see how it works. I’ve been wanting to add a third piercing to my earlobes for some time now, so when I saw this neat little tool, I deemed it a sign to go ahead and add more holes to my head, much to my mother’s dismay. I used it a few nights ago and was able to add a third piercing to my lobes without much issue, so I figured I would inform all of you of this piercing tool in case anyone else wishes to save some money and pierce their own ears.
The HYJLPAF Ear Piercing Kit comes with four individual piercing tools and four 5mm studs. The studs are a bit too chunky for my liking, but they do the job. The piercing tool self-destructs after one use, hence why you’re given four, and it was honestly relatively easy to use. I did manage to hit cartilage in one of my ears, which was a dandy sensation to say the least, but I had both ears done in less than five minutes.
