I don’t have pierced ears and never have had, however once while out drinking (a lot), I stabbed one of those plastic swords that come in mixed drinks through my earlobe and wore it around the rest of the night. The OP might be interested to know that, other than a temporary hole in my earlobe, nothing happened. ---

There’s drinkin’ and then there’s _professional_ drinkin’. That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing. FTR: I’ve done similarly stupid things, but not that particular stupid thing. ---

I hope the OP got a satisfactory answer before they felt ganged up on and left the Board, never to return. 😒 People asking about stupid stuff they want to do is a tradition here. The least we can do is not pile on them until they’ve come back to tell us how it worked out for them. ---

After a night of professional drinkin’, I didn’t bother trying to pierce my ears with a pencil. I went to a proper ear piercer. ---

It seems like our OP Jasmine’s had some other piercings. I wonder which other customizing tools they’ve used in the past. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ear-lobe-pierced-hole/1034020.md?page=2)
