Ever since I was a baby, both of my parents have pierced my ears. Until now I have known many kinds of piercings that make my appearance even more attractive.

But, Behind that beauty, there are pain and risks.

Keloid. Yes, you read that right. I saw some trends in popular platform videos showing the piercing trend, and all of them ended up with the scars turning into keloids. So, I canceled the intention to pierce my ears.

How many piercings do you have?

@itsangel you got nothing to worry about, just be careful first few days after getting piercing and make sure to go to someone who's professional and you'll be good

@macayada Yes!! It's really scary when a round keloid grows on the piercing you made

Never heard of Keloids, but I do probably have them. Is that like scar tissue?

You said your parents already pierced your ears when you were a baby? why do you want to have it pierced again? Or do you want additional ear piercing. I have a total of 5 ear piercing, 3 of them I got when i was in college, the two when I was very young

@rakski Adding for appearance only. Most Asian parents will get their child's ear pierced as a baby
