The other ones broke...INSIDE OF MY EAR and on the back of my ear, the holes slightly closed soo I had to take little fragments of the broken earrings out of my ear by hand by myself and push these ones through the skin that closed sooo yeah that hurt but, I like em!! (I really don't like my freckles, I know a lot of people like freckles but they just look like brown acne?? Idk it's weird but that's my opinion.)
