They're still a bit sore afterwards but overall I'm thrilled. I've always wanted to get my ears pierced but was told since I was a boy I could only get one pierced, so I never did it back then, but since I'm not actually a boy (I'm a trans girl) I figured why let that stop me.

Anyone got any recommendations for earrings I should get that suit a tomboy aesthetic? rn I have only the basic studs but I'm looking to get some more for after the healing process is complete. Any suggestions?

Congratulations! Be a little afraid of towels now! The stud earrings can get caught up in the loops when drying your hair. It hurts when that happens and could even damage your earlobe.

Oh, I'll definitely keep that in mind, gotta make sure to be extra careful when drying off after showering.
