3) did it hurt and if so, exactly how much? -Yes, but not much, and it was only for a second.
4) did you decide to do it voluntarily or were you under some kind of compulsion (family member getting it done for you without your consent, friends coaxing you into it, feeling the need to do it because of fashion etc)? -It was my decision.
I'm a middle aged man, married, and have four daughters.
I wear long hair (straight blonde hair, mid-back length) and I have each ear lobe pierced twice.
I am getting my ear lobes pierced again for a third time each, next Friday, Feb. 18th. My wife, for a Valentine's day present, bought me an afternoon at a full service beauty salon. At the salon, I'm getting my hair trimmed (just a small trim to get rid of the split ends and even out my tresses in a blunt cut, I'm keeping my hair long), a massage, my hair highlighted, my nails done, and my ears pierced again.
I wear all types of earrings; studs, hoops, long dangle earrings, etc.. I like to wear 14 ct. gold earrings.
I first got my ears pierced in my early 20s (I'm now in my mid- 40s).
I got my ears pierced because I wanted to, (although a woman I was dating at the time encouraged me to get my ears pierced and was wild about pierced ears and earrings and jewelry on men).
The main reason I got my ears pierced is because I believed I would look good with long hair, a beard, and earrings. I believe it is a look that suits me. I have worn long hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and earrings ever since.

I am female. Had my ears done when I was 15, hurt a bit but not too much, just one in each ear. Had it done for me, not because of peer pressure or any of that stuff.

I would like to ask those who have (or have had) pierced ears to answer a few plain questions:
1) your gender [ Female]
2) how old were you when you got it done? [5, 13]
3) did it hurt and if so, exactly how much? [cried at 5, only pinched at 13]
4) did you decide to do it voluntarily or were you under some kind of compulsion (family member getting it done for you without your consent, friends coaxing you into it, feeling the need to do it because of fashion etc)? [at 5 my mom decided to get my 1st hole pierced, at 13 I wanted it done, then I got my belly button pierced when I was 18 b/c I thought they were sexy]

Female, I was 2 weeks old. My mom had them done for me. I still have them and so I have no idea of the pain. Altho Im taking my 10 year old son to get his pierced here next week. From my understanding its not that bad at all.
