Outbreak Underscores Upper-Ear Piercing Dangers.

Um, no. After reading this, I think the outbreak merely underscored the dangers or getting anything pierced by anyone who doesn't know what they are doing and doesn't use proper sterilization techniques.

I am glad to hear that Oregon banned gun piercing though. I get so squicked when I hear about people getting anything pierced with one. Ick!

I've been meaning to take some photos of my ears. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

So there, CNN!!!

Oh for a while I had 5 in each ear from a gun, but now only the 2 lobe piercings are left. Everything else was needled. Unfortunately, I didn't know any better from the ages of 10 to 17. :-)
