Both Amara and Havana have been wanting to add to their ear piercings for quite some time. Havana has wanted to re-pierce her second holes, which closed some time ago. Big Sis wanted to get a third hole on one side. I attempted to delay both of their requests! I wanted to make sure Havana would take care of her second holes again, not letting them close and for Amara, having a third piercing higher up in the ear is more statement orientated. I wanted to make sure she really wanted to do this. Like her noise piercing, which she was consistent about wanting for two years before I knew she was serious about it, I felt it she was sure and thus ready. I also felt Havana was ready to take care of herself in a different way.
Because we were going to New York and because I am a big of a I thought it would be fitting to return to Live by the Sword in SoHo to have their ears done. I was glad I made an appointment. Unlike last time when we were in and out quickly on weekday, the place was packed on a Saturday in early evening.
I was able to go back with Havana to take my photos but Amara, because she is 18 now (and really did not need my permission anymore) had to go back on her own. Thankfully some of the artists on staff took some photos for me. As mentioned in my Summer of 2025 post, I mentioned how we were all digesting Amara’s impending departure to college in our own way, not being allowed to be with her to support her hit me hard in my solar peluxus. It was a hard reality check that Big Sis was an adult now.
