Michelle Obama Says She Got 10 Ear Piercings in One Sitting on Her Podcast

She cast the move as personal expression influenced by her daughters.

Overview

  • The disclosure came on the Feb. 11 episode of IMO, where she spoke with her brother and co-host Craig Robinson.
  • She described a "constellation" of studs along her upper lobes and cartilage and said the session "wasn't bad at all."
  • She joked that Barack Obama took about three days to notice the new piercings, which he partly chalked up to her hair being down.
  • She said she was inspired by the young people in her life, specifically daughters Malia and Sasha, who have multiple piercings.
  • Coverage also highlighted critics who framed her comments as inconsistent with her recent promotion of a style book.
