Sprites have such pretty ears... (x-posted from JS)

...So I poked them full of holes! Last night I bought a pin vise and a couple different bits, I ended up using a #68 I think because it looked like the best match for the piercings my friend had done on Peaseblossom, my BBB Ariel.
I was nervous because I'd never done it before and I wanted to put five piercings in his left ear, but I went slow and spaced them carefully and it all went okay! I'm really pleased with the way they've turned out, I've been thinking about giving him these piercings forever, like the green cat eyes and painted nails they're just part of how he's supposed to look. Unfortunately it's been raining cats and dogs so there's not a whole lot of natural light to be had for pictures. I'm going to be piercing Dove's ears later, but probably just her lobes. I'm considering whether or not I want to give her a cartilage piercing, so far both other BBBs that I've got have them in their left ears, and one I've planned is going to have just one ear piercing in the cartilage of his left ear. It's developing into kind of a thing. XD
and one to show his ears without the wig on, and to show the great glass marble I found that he's going to wear as part of his steampunk costume. It's so reflective that I think you can see me in it taking the picture. XD
