How old were you when you got your ears pierced?

I first got my ears pierced when I was, I believe, 6 but I could be off by a year or two.

I got my ears pierced for my 10th birthday. And then again a few years ago because they had closed up.

I believe I was between four and five years old. I had to get them in for church, and I remember they hurt so bad, but now when I put in earings in they don't hurt a bit.

Yeah it does usually heal up well if you take them out. That's what I like about piercings as opposed to tattoos- not as permanent.

I was around 9 years old the first time I got my ears pierced. But after getting one of my ears infected I ended up letting both of the holes close up. After seeing what had happened to my sister with one of her ears, due to an earring, I was rather intimidated by it. Needless to say our mom wasn't happy with what happened and she didn't allow us to get our ears repierced until we were 18 years old. However my sister went against our mom's back and got her's done when she was 15 or 16 years old, but that's a different story. LOL

I got my first set of holes when I was 6 years old. Then when I was 12, I got a second pair of holes in my earlobes. Then when I was 19 I got two more sets of holes in my earlobes, as well as my tragus and inner helix. So right now I have 5 holes in each year. I plan on getting a cartilage piercing at some point in the future.

The first time I got my ears pierced was in middle school. Then after High School a friend pierced my ears. After that I got them pierced again, the first and last time being professional. I don't wear earrings so the piercings are just there, I doubt wide enough to put an earring in. When a friend did it, she did it at an angle, with the earring itself. The piercing isn't completely straight.

I don't even remember getting my ears pierced, but i do know i wear earrings everyday as have always since i have been a young little girl. I believe my mom told me i was around 4 or 6 months when i got them pierced, i don't mind that i was young at all and not knowing the pain then was probably really good and just most of the time probably slept anyways. I have been wanting to get my second hole pierced in my ears but am very nervous to do so and my boyfriend has three in one ear and two in the other and hes like its not that much pain at all just go do it. Im scared and probably will never get one.

It's really quick, it barely hurts at all. It's just a little pinch and then it feels hot. I was nervous before I got my second set too!

I got my first ear piercing when I was about 20 then I got another one in the same ear when I was 22. I have seen kids as young as five with ear piercings. I think alot of it has to do with if the person can deal with having metal in their body and how their body reacts to it and certain metals.

Yeah that's true- my mom has trouble with jewelry now because the metals irritate her skin. It wasn't always like that though, it got worse with age.
