Beauty Above All

Lil Shauna had her ears pierced when she was 4. At that times, the 2 older Fs were flashing earrings and the little girl was lured. It was an "interesting" experience; we left the shop with only 1 ear pierced bcos she realised that it hurts and was no fun. Lol. It was after a lot of coaxing that we managed to get the other ear pierced and ended up with a lot of tears.

Then, she had an incident the following year. Her left ear stud was stuck in the ear lobe. Dont ask me how that happened. Weird things always happen to kids. We only managed to get the ear stud out after a visit to NUH children A&E bcos the GP couldnt do anything. How exciting... since then, Lil Shauna has been without earrings and the piercing healed over time.

In the past few years, she had occasionally mentioned about getting her ears pierced again but was never serious enough. I wasnt in a hurry too. I know that there will be a point of time that she would ask for it. I got my ear piercing done only in secondary 4 and didnt stop until I had 7 piercings. It will come and it did. Hoho.

Recently, Lil Shauna had been talking frequently about ear piercing. However, she would back out after imagining how painful it would be. We even checked out the pricing at a 77th street alike shop - $5 per ear, so affordable. Then it was nearing her competition and then her camp, which isnt any good time for ear piercing.

It dragged on for few months, even I got bored of hearing her arguing with herself over the ear piercing. Yawn. Then, an atas ear piercing shop opened in JP. The advertisement claimed that it was painless! Lil Shauna has hopes! But painless comes with an atas price - lowest at $55 for both ears piercing.

One evening, the little girl finally made up her mind and dragged us to JP after dinner for her atas painless ear piercing. The sales claimed that it was painless bcos of the numbing lotion that they used.

Everything happened quickly. We chose the studs, paid for the piercing. The staff moved quickly to identify the spot to pierce and sprayed on the numbing lotion. Fast was good so that Lil Shauna has no chance to back out.

She started panicking when the ladies moved in to pierce her ears. It was done simultaneously, one lady to one ear and so quick that she didnt have much time to really panic. Her parents were happily taking pictures to register the moment. Lol.

Tadah!

Lil Shauna said that it wasnt really painless. I guess speed was the key here. From the point that they started identifying the piercing spots to completion took less than a minute. We paid for manpower leh.

The girl is super happy with her new additions. She was so eager to go show off to her class mates. She didnt complain much about the pain bcos 美 is everything. Hahaha.
