Frandsen Piercing Studio...

Sammi got her ears pierced... at our house!

I was talking to her 4th grade teacher Parys about finding a piercing studio closer to our house and she mentioned that her husband was a trained piercer and had trained many of the piercers in the valley. She said she'd ask him where would be a good place for us to go. Then she told me that Russ said he'd be happy to do it for us and we could even do it at our house. Cool!

So they came over yesterday, and he brought his little sterile kit and gloves. He told Sammi all about what he was doing and what she needed to know to take care of her ears.

Marking the spot with a blue pen. (I didn't get a shot of him cleaning her ears)

Setting the clamp on her ear

A good shot of her with the clamp on the second ear

Big breath in through the nose and out through the mouth... I took this right as he pushed the needle through. She didn't flinch or anything.. she DID say that it was more than a "little pinch" though.

Once he puts the needle though he sticks a cork on the pointy part then attaches the hoop to the other end and pulls it through.

Sammi had no idea there was a big needle sticking through her ear until she saw the pictures!

Both ears done! Can you tell she's trying not to smile?
