Ears

Last summer when we were in Phoenix Alexis asked to get her ears pierced. We had always told her that she could have them pierced when she was 8 but she had not wanted to up until now. Now I had spent time researching different placed for piercings just for this moment and I had decided to take her to a piercing studio to get them pierced there for many reasons. Claires and other such places like that are not regulated by the governmet or any other type of group etc. Piercing studios however are regulated by the government and are sterile in when they do their piercings. However when the time came Alexis wanted it done and I was feeling generous so why not. BIG mistake they did her holes to low and gave her a huge infection. She had to have ther ears drained and was on antibiotics for a month. This time I took her to a piercing studio called Iris. It is on Highland drive and about 21st south. They were awesome and so professional. I couldn't believe how sterile they were with everything they did. She looks great.

I think you're brave to have asked for a picture with them. Glad she got it done right. And only in your family would ear piercings lead to a month of antibiodics and draining.

Mindy's comment cracks me up! How's she doing this time? We need a close-up of the ears.

Nice piercings dudes. I would have been nervous to ask them for a picture.

Poor Alexis, poor Alexis' ears! I'm glad things are going better this time around.
