I didn't like having my ears pierced!

I found that some earrings are really difficult to put in and take out. When I got my ears pierced (20 years ago) I left the earrings in for almost a year before taking them out. Now the hole is just there. I went for periods of a couple years without wearing earrings and the hole never closed. It makes it much easier. My suggestion is that if you decide to get pierced again, leave the studs in for a long time. It just makes things easier.

That was my feeling when I was younger. I remember getting my ears pierced when I was around 8 or so and it didn't turn out well. The person that did the piercing put the hole in the wrong spot and my ear ended up becoming seriously infected. I had to stop wearing the earrings and let the hole close up. It was painful and at the time I told myself that I never wanted to get my ears pierced again. However, a few years passed and I changed my mind. My friends were all wearing earrings and I wanted to too. So, I begged my mom to let me. I was 10 at the time. But instead of getting it professionally done like last time I made her do it for me. She actually used a needle to pierce my ear and it was quite an experience. Not exactly painful because it was numbed but it felt really strange. I've had my ears pierced since then and have had no problems since.

I had my ears first pierced when I was about 6 years old, i think. My aunt did mine with and ice cube to numb my ear and then she shoved the earring through my ear. That really hurt alot. I have mine done twice now but do not wear earrings anymore either.

Hi bluespacker, I wasn't allowed to have mine done as a teenager so naturally wanted it. I did it when I first went away to university and liked the chance of being able to wear nice dangly earrings, but my ears didn't like them and got infected by cheap metals. I kept tryiny as I used to love those closiene ones I think they were called, and didn't want to wear a gold stud, so I too just gave up. I can still feel where the holes used to be though.

hi blue65packer I had that done in my early 20s cause I thought it was cool to have the ears pierced.
Like with you that one intgerrim earring came out when the piercing was still fresh and I had to go back to the place where I had the piercing done and they had to shoot it in a second time.
Result is that the hole was not straight through the ear lobe and it was quite a bit of work to get the earrings in and out again.
My holes are closed by now as well and your post reminds me of getting to the jewellers and maybe get the ears pierced again.
