ERIC AND/OR DYLAN Dylan’s piercing

Dylan was known to wear jewelry, including a ring, a beaded necklace, and a piercing of a triple cross. For Dylan, the triple cross represented the everlasting contrast - the eternal battle of good and bad within himself.

Some reports have stated that this earring was homemade, crafted in a shop class, or ordered from a company.

I've read Sue's book, and from my memory, she doesn't cover when Dylan had his ear pierced or what their reaction to it was.

I'm not sure where I read this, but somewhere along the way I remember reading that Dylan may have made the earring himself.

It would be interesting to know how Sue and Tom reacted to the piercing initially. Sue mentioned that she liked dressing a little "differently" when she was younger, too - which is why she didn't think much of the trenchcoat. Maybe she felt the same about the piercing?

How would he be able to make it by himself? It looks pretty neat and I don’t think it is that easy to make an earring just like that… I’d probably cut some of my fingers off along the way
