Second Lobe Piercing!

Hola Beautifuls!

For a while now I've wanted my 2nd lobe piercing done, but since I'm a huge wimp I never thought I'd get it. But yesterday I decided it was time to man up, and wanted to get it over and done with. 

So today I went into 'Claire's Accessories', and on the way I was so nervous, I was literally shaking. I genuinely thought I was going to faint, because when I had my first lobe piercing, at House Of Fraser, the woman was rubbish and I went really dizzy.

I had to sign all the forms myself, because I'm 17, which was strange (first form I've had to sign instead of having parental permission, woo!) and then choose the earring I wanted my ear to be pierced with (the price of the piercing depends on the earring you choose).

The lady put on her gloves, and cleaned my lobe, then marked up where my piercing was going to be, and asked my mom to double check if it was straight. Then she got the piercing gun out, fitted my ear into it and pierced my ear. Her service was really great (except using the wrong earring design, which she was extremely apologetic about), and I would recommend Claire's Accessories piercing to anyone!

Honestly, I think it hurt so much less than the first lobe piercing. It was just like a tiny sting as it pierced, then a slight burning sensation afterwards for about half an hour. I also do keep having little tiny shooting pains now and then (I had my ears pierced about 2 hours ago), but it's nothing major, and it's bearable! 

After the piercing had been done on both ears, I had to hold cotton wool pads soaked in 'After Care Lotion' onto the piercings so they didn't bleed or get infected straight away, which made them feel a lot cooler (in temperature) and took the stinging away for a while.

For both of my ears to be pierced with the earring I chose, was £32.50, which also included an 250ml 'After Care Lotion' bottle, which is a pretty decent size. 

Overall, I would recommend anyone to have their 2nd lobe piercing done, because it's so pretty and so painless! And if anyone wants a piercing done, definitely go to Claire's Accessories!
