Ok, so when I was 12 or 13 I had my ear pierced because I thought it was cool then. Well, after about a month, I didn't like it anymore. So, I took it out and it has been 6 years or a little more. Well, ever since then you can see where I had it pierced and I don't know why. Well, yesterday my fiancé was going through her jewelry box, and I grabbed an ear ring and was going to mess around and see if it would go through. I applied hardly any pressure. Actually none at all, and it slipped right through like it was just pierced recently. Why is that?
