I have got my ears pierced ….i can’t remember how old I was when I had them done. I think I was at college. Unfortunately, I did leave the earrings out and the holes closed up so I ended up having them done again. By that time I was working.
Some people have their daughter’s ears pierced when they are babies ….i don’t like that look, and I think it’s too young.
Some folk have several piercings in their ears …i just have the one.
I have some lovely earrings and I do love wearing them…..
I have some with matching necklaces .
Do you have your ears pierced ?
How old were you when you had them pierced ?

My parents made me wait until I was ten years old before getting my ears pierced.
I don’t like parents getting their baby’s ears pierced either. They (the children) should be old enough to decide whether they want to put up with the pain before they get a piercing.

@Traceyjayne I think I remember a brief sting. But I was too excited to care.

I agree the children should be old enough to make their own mind up.
Did it hurt when you had your ears pierced ? I didn’t feel anything either time !

@Traceyjayne I wear simple studs everyday. I change to more fancy ones if I go out for special events.

It's customary here to have our babies ear pierced. So me and my sisters had our eras pierced when we were babies and my siblings did the same to their daughters.
I had another piercing when I was a university student. Me and my best friend decided to have another piercing in our ears so we did it ourselves at the same time and I could vividly remember doing it in her home. We bought a pair of piercing stud, one for her and one for me, went to their house, got some ice to numb our ears, and we did it!

@Traceyjayne I guess it's because they want to make a distinction between a boy and a girl.

Yes, some of my friends did it like that …with an ice cube. ….
Why is it customary to have it done as babies …..?

No, my ears aren't pierced but other body parts are. If you don't ask, I won't tell you. 
When Pretty was about a year old, we had her ears pierced and studs put in. Now she has six or seven holes in each ear. While she was at college, she had other body parts pierced. I didn't ask her which parts.

@Traceyjayne My left nipple is pierced and I wear a gauged ring through it. My peepee is also pierced and I wear a matching ring through it.

I can't remember maybe when I was a baby. Ear piercing in the Philippines is very early. Mom's would love to have their daugthers wear their first earings as young as one year old.

No I don't. As a teenager I wanted my ears pierced but my mother wouldn't let me, she thought it was 'common'. I remember arguing that the Queen had her ears pierced, and she said 'Well of course she does, it wouldn't do to risk losing those diamonds!'
Anyway once I was 18 and could do it I somehow didn't, and now I never have. One thing that put me off was that I sometimes get little lumps that develop inside my ear lobes; they go away again but I was worried that any injury might trigger some sort of reaction. I did meet a friend of a friend who had a big lumpy growth on his earlobe after getting it pierced and that was not a good look at all.
Anyway I now have a good stock of comfortable clips and have learnt how to make my own earrings so I have lots of clip-ons when I want something.

I had them pierced once but let the holes grow over. I didn't have them done again.
