I guess about 15 years ago I was drinking some black label tequila (my downfall) with two nice women - they proceeded to pour me into their car and take me to a parlor to have two holes put in my left ear with little diamond studs put in - when I woke up I found them and replaced one with a small "pirate" hoop - and had them ever since. I guess they thought it was hot
Of course at the time it was "gay" to have your right ear pierced - similar to the old different color bandanas hanging out your back pocket and which pocket they were in
