Patricia Necesita, my little side project, has new pieces in stock for your #prettypiercings. You can find them soon at Wynwood Letterpress and online here. If you're looking at them thinking "hot dang those are on fleek but I don't have any extra piercings to put them in." No prob babe. Here are two ideas:

1) Use what you've got. If you have two lobe piercings that you got as a baby and you've never added and holes since then, don't sweat it. Try one of the statement earrings like the San Felipe or Great Jones with a simpler one like (you'll find those on the website - think: ultra minimalist tiny pearls and really little gold studs). Or, go the simpler route and pair one of each tiny, delicate earrings for a look that's a subtle but stylish statement.

2) Go ahead and get a new piercing. I recommend New Age Piercing in the Grove. They are super professional, mega clean and take their work really seriously. When I asked if I could apprentice to learn they told me that I'd sweep the floors for three months. That put a quick end to my career as a pro piercer. But I respect the rules. You don't want to go anywhere that isn't the cleanest it could be and you want to find somewhere that uses a needle by hand, not a gun; New Age Piercings is both of those. Just know that if you have a fresh piercing, you'll have to purchase a piece of fine jewelery to put in it (we have those too!) or take the surgical steel ones that they give you there and wait a few months for it to heel.
