Coco had an unpleasant ear-piercing experience about 2 years ago.
I took her to an OG in Bugis to have her ears pierced by an auntie, thinking that an auntie should have ample experience in doing it.
Big mistake.
It was a painful experience for Coco: figuratively and literally.
The auntie pulled at her left ear in an attempt to remove the piercing gadget when it was still attached to the ear-stud! It must have been excruciating for Coco.
After the painful session, Coco's ears never did heal, probably due to the fact that a pair of silver ear-studs was used. Her ears kept showing signs of an allergic reaction to the ear-studs by emitting transparent liquids.
In the end, we had to 'close' the pierced holes so that the allergy could stop.
2 years on, she requested to have her ears pierced again.
She saw that Bedazzled at Wisma Atria had this claim of 'Painless ear-piercing' in print and alerted me to it.
So we went ahead and did it. We chose a pair of white gold ear-studs that cost $85, inclusive of the piercing service.
Surprisingly, everything was over within a minute.
"Is it really 'painless'?" I asked. "Just a bit painful lah," so said Coco.
We have to apply a $10 ear-care solution twice a day on her pierced ears. So far, it looks great. No sign of allergy.
We will return to the shop for a review to check for allergy, and after six weeks, we will return again to have the ear-studs removed.
