Can't you just stick a pin through your ears?

No.

You're boring.

I'm not boring. I'm trying to stop my boyfriend from giving himself an infection.

That's what alcohol from the bar is for. High enough proof and no infection will survive.

Still. Good on you for trying to keep this guy alive.

So that makes it totally OK for him to stab himself when he has no idea what he's doing?

You're unbelievable.

Well.

My ears are pierced. Somehow.

We could supervise?

It has to be more than just that, right?

Yes. Obviously.

[No one is talking to you, Min-Gi.]

You don't have to be so grumpy about this - you already know I'm going to let you kiss it better after. ♥

[Since this is happening while they're literally together Min-Gi will not be justifying that with a bulletin board response.

Instead Ryan just gets shot a definitely still grumpy look.]

I have no idea, man.

YOLO?

YOLO???
What's that?

You Only Live Once, dude.

But everyone only lives once...?

[Then, five minutes later:]

WAIT THAT'S NOT EVEN TRUE we literally keep drowning or getting crushed or snowed in or whatever and looping back!!! We've all lived like, a bunch of times!!!!!

Yeah.

I don't think that's normal.

At a minimum, you would need to sterilize the needle and regularly disinfect the piercing afterwards.

Your best bet would be to heat the needle red-hot over a flame before using it. If that sounds pleasant to do yourself, go ahead.

Honestly that's the most useful info anyone's given me on doing it right, so thanks man!

Definitely not doing it to myself though. If I try they're gonna wind up crooked or uneven or something.

[...This guy is really determined to give himself a new infection right after recovering from the last one, huh.]

You'll need to keep disinfecting your ear afterwards, too. If you can't find rubbing alcohol, vodka or gin are your best bet.

[Or just, you know, being smart and not doing this. But that doesn't seem to be on the table.]

[Why would that ever be on the table when he can get his ears pierced??]

vodka or gin if I can't get rubbing alcohol, got it.
Do you know how long it takes to heal?

I know the earrings stay in for a while 'cause the holes can close up

Yeah and it helps if you get it really hot before you do it too!

Wait really? Doesn't it burn?

Nah! I don't think so?

I think it just kills the germs?

[ What he actually retains of germ theory, given the state of his memories, is also debatable. ]

Huh! Weird. But if it works then that's good news!
One less reason for my boyfriend to worry. :)

This is harmless!

It's not like getting stabbed somewhere important.
