A Piercing Experience

https://pixabay.com/photos/tattoo-hand-i-love-you-propose-702133/PixArcWhen my mom was in her mid-80s, she asked that we visit a tattoo parlor together.

“Let’s get mother/daughter tattoos, maybe with a heart design,” she suggested.

I demurred. Her skin was so fragile and thin. A needle piercing would be dangerous at her age. And secondarily, I had no desire to have my skin pricked with needles.

Lastly, I’m not too proud to admit I’m not into unnecessary pain.

Disappointed, my mom didn’t bring up the subject again. A few years later she drifted into dementia, and she died from Covid at the age of 96.

I’ve regretted my decision ever since. sea storm, Ocean City NJ. after the storm, summer at the shore

It’s now a year since her passing, and I’m walking the Ocean City, NJ Boardwalk with my granddaughter and her friend, both 13. For some reason, they like having me along on this rainy day, winds and waves caused by a recent hurricane visible from the Boards. My daughter and her younger sons are dawdling behind us.

Sophie suddenly sprints into her favorite summer store, where two years earlier she’d had her ears pierced. She pleads to my daughter, “Please, Mom? You promised!” And before I can fathom the request, Sophie’s middle ear lobe is wiped with alcohol and a quiet, small woman hovers a staple gun (at least, that’s what it looks like) toward my granddaughter’s ear.

“I’m here for you!” Sophie’s friend promises, and she holds Sophie’s hand as a tiny (fake) diamond stud is zapped into her tender ear lobe. Sophie barely flinches, and then the other ear lobe is zapped.

She stands up with a huge smile on her face. The tiny earrings sparkle happily. And then my sweet granddaughter gazes at me and suggests, “Wouldn’t it be neat if we had identical second earrings, Madre?”

Oh. No.

PIxabay, sewing needleMy mom would not allow me to have my ears pierced when I was 10, or 15, or ever, so in my second year of college, when my dorm mates insisted they could pierce my ears, I agreed. With half a dozen friends surrounding me, one of them held an ice cube behind my ear lobe and poked a sewing needle into the other side. It hurt, plus I could hear the crunching since it took a while to get the needle all the way in. Then, we had to repeat the step on the other ear. I’m guessing I had a drink or two during the process.

I’ve loved wearing earrings ever since. In fact, I have three earring stands filled with coveted possessions. But I have no desire for a second earring in my ear lobe, and in fact, never particularly liked the look of it.

But.

I think back to my mom and the tattoo. ear piercing, Ocean City NJ Boardwalk

And I turn to Sophie and say, “What a great idea.”

As I sit on the “piercing chair” and wait for the zap, Sophie holds one hand, and my grandson holds the other. I’m not afraid of the stapler, but I soak up their support and love.

    • Funny! I should have moved my earring stand to show how it circles while I took the video. A “dizzying” effect. In fact, the new earring “staplers” are fast and feel like a quick pinch. But it was fun to extend the drama a bit. 🙂

  3. It’s clear you have a wonderful, loving relationship with your granddaughter. I’m not a fan of tattoos or extra piercings. I’m not sure what I would have done.😀 My kids have matching tattoos–plus more.
    My mom’s cousin–the one who just turned 95–pierced my ears with one of those staple gun things when I was a teen. She and my mom had a store with clothes and earrings.

    I’m so glad you had a great family vacation.

      You were lucky to have a “second” cousin pierce your ears in a civilized manner. How cool that she and your mom owned a store together.

  5. I had my ears pierced when I was 16 with cork behind my ear lobes and a sharp needle. For 50 years I wore golden spiral as an ear sticker. For a reason I can’t remember I stopped for a year or longer and now it is closed.
    I thought about a classic nautical tattoo as well but in the end I decided against it. Now I use sometimes this very well done fake tattoos. No pain and not for ever.

Of course, when I was in school, no one had their ears pieced. Odd now to think of a time when it just ‘wasn’t done.’ Pierced ears were for pirates; our earrings were clip-ons.

I was 15 when I got my ears pierced by a cousin who did the whole ice cube and needle procedure. I didn’t have any alcohol but I was allowed to say a number of four-letter words without reprimand.

Fascinating that a number of us went through that to get earrings – mainly because it wasn’t as easy to get it done like it is now for teens. I think most of us here are on the same page as “no pain – no tattoos.” So far, no one has commented on how much they love their tattoo! ;-0

    • The best part of your piercing earring experience is that it became a fun memory for the three generations of women in your family. I did know a few college friends who had infections from their piercing and never got to wear earrings. I think that happens much less frequently now with the new “stapler” method. 🙂

  18. My mother was in her 50s when I took her to get her ears pierced. First time. She never did it as a young woman. I already had two sets and she always admired my earrings. She hated how the clips would ache. She had to wait until they were finished doing a 6 year old girl, then my mother sat in the chair. They punched them. Afterward I asked how it was. She said it hurt but after the little girl didn’t cry she couldn’t even yell ouch! That was my mom!

I understand she wanted you each to be marked as together forever but you were right to be protective of her at that fragile age. I’m not a fan of tattoos either. I still remember getting my ears pierced at 8 and the boys upstairs yanking on them. I love your earring collection! The right of passage with your granddaughter is such a bonding moment. She looks VERY much like you and probably her mother does too. Lucky girl. Stay safe over there. It’s like both coasts are saying “move inland”. Crazy.

      I cringed at the idea of boys yanking at your earrings. I guess that’s a good reason to wait until college to get a piercing. Thanks for the sweet compliment about my granddaughter and me. I have such a good time watching her grow up – which of course is happening way too fast.

  28. Wonderful story of love and family, Pam. When my daughter (20 years old at the time) was diagnosed with a rare daunting disease, we got small matching tattoos, musical treble clefs because of our love for music. It is my first that I got when I was 50. Then I wanted to get one to represent my son, something small and outdoorsy. But since then, I’ve had some health issues that made me not want to tempt fate, so no more tattoos. I decided as an alternative to a 3rd ear piercing on my left lobe with his birthstone, an emerald. So I have 3 in that ear and 2 in the other. 🙂 I didn’t want 3 and 3. I feel balanced though. Isn’t that funny? What we do for love. 💗

I got my ears pierced when I was 12 and my first fun earrings were Snoopy playing golf – I still have them, but have not worn them in about 50 years 😉 I also went through the needle and the ice cube piercing ritual in college, with a couple drinks beforehand, performed by my freshman hall mate – that was for the third piercing. Eventually I got my hair dresser to do one on the other side, but it was uneven and never really healed well (go figure – he had all the proper equipment). When my mom was about 55, I talked her into getting her ears pierced. It was during the summer, we were down the shore and we went to the Ocean County Mall in Brick in NJ. We should have paid attention to the ominous clouds above, but we didn’t. My mom was nervous, but I took her to the Piercing Pagoda, she sat on the stool and just then the power went out in the mall! She got them pierced when the lights came back on and LOVED having pierced ears – no more clip-ons!
