Before I got my piercings done, I began asking people their opinion on it. I asked the guys and they all said not to do it. The girls had it split half and half. Many people told me that piercings are only done by either black guys or gay guys (or black gay guys) and since I am neither, I shouldn't do it. I didn't listen and got my ears done anyway.
As I was getting my ears pierced by the two girls who lived next door to me in my college dorm, my other friends watched the procedure with excitement. They were disappointed because I didn't experience that much pain, but they were surprised to see how different I looked after it was done. Everyone said that it looked really good. As I looked in the mirror I saw a different person. I couldn't believe two shiny earrings could change my entire appearance.
Me ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I always have had a bright white smile and the piercings had complimented it perfectly. Everyone liked it, even the people who first criticized me for getting them. It made me look older and had matured my baby face. People started to be more friendlier to me and wanted to be around me more. Getting my ears done was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made.
