I’m here to make sure you feel safe and comfortable.” She sat down with Ellie Rae and their parents, explaining the process in a friendly way. “First, we’ll practice together, then I’ll clean your ears and mark them with my special purple skin marker. What’s your favorite color?” “Pink!” Ellie Rae exclaimed. “Great choice! Let’s see what earrings we have.” Ellie Rae spotted pink daisy earrings and beamed. Nurse Cassandra explained that they were made of medical-grade titanium, safe and gentle on the skin.

If you’re ready and give me permission, we can start.” Ellie Rae took a deep breath. “Yes, I’m ready.” Sensing a little nervousness, Nurse Cassandra led them through a breathing exercise. “Breathe in through your nose… and out through your mouth. Think of something that makes you happy.” Ellie Rae imagined a fun beach day, feeling calmer. The Piercing Nurse Cassandra cleaned Ellie Rae’s earlobes and marked the spots. “You’re doing great! One more breath, and we’re done.” Before Ellie Rae knew it, the piercing was finished. When they looked in the mirror, their pink daisy earrings sparkled just like they had imagined. “You did it, Ellie Rae! You were so brave!” Ellie Rae felt proud, excited to show their friends.
