I wanted pierced ears so bad. There was no way I was going to put those things in my ears that you pushed every day to puncture your ears. Going in to have them pierced was way to expensive for me. So. . . my cousin pierced my ears. She did a beautiful job. Better than those who had it done by a so called professional. First of all it took a massive amount of ice cubes because my ear lobe was completely frozen by holding the ice cubes to my ear. From then she marked the spot she wanted to put the hole. Then she took a rather large darning needle and pushed it through and put the earing in. I used peroxide every day to clean my ears and have never had a problem with them. She had them perfectly centered and it didn't cost me a dime.

I remember getting my ears pierced at a local Walmart when I was 8 years old. I wanted earrings so bad, but I was so terrified. It didn't take long and it was over. Then when I was a teen..I got two more earrings in each ear. Then later on the third hole grew up. Now I just have two earrings in each ear. I wear hoops and then a tiny diamond in the second. So cute I love it! Its easier to get them pierced when your young. I went to have my daughters ears pierced in the mall when she reached three months old. She didn't even cry, she just made a weird face. Now, she is six and loves her earrings and is so glad she already has them without having to go through the pain.

I had mine done when I was 6yrs old. Me and my mum had gone into town shopping and she simply asked me if I wanted them done, and I had them pierced there and then in the jewellers. My dad went bananas - he thought I was far too young for that kind of thing.

I did my sisters for her when we were young! Back in the 60's, that was normal back then. I don't even think there were places to get them done, other than the doctor! I'm a guy and had never done it before, she had no problems, and soon I did a couple of her friends also! tdemex
