Comic #15 - Ears On Fire

Or how I got my first piercing.

When I was about 6, I got my ears pierced. I remember choosing shiny blue stones, feeling inspired by Sailor Mercury. I remember the shop being rather dim, looking more like an older person’s living room than a public space. The old lady working there didn’t seem like a worker either - she seemed more nervous about our ears getting pierced than us!

10 piercings later, the earlobe ones really do hurt the most.

What was the scariest thing you did as a kid?

Did you have your ears pierced as a baby?

Until next week, cheers! - Mojca
