QuoteReplyTopic: a simple survey about ear piercing Posted: July 31 2005 at 2:44pm
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.

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]

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'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.

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.
---my best freind did it with a sewing needle, it hurt like a *****.
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)?----I started doing drag shows at 16, and I decided it would help if I could wear womens earrings.
I'm female. I got mine first done when I was 1 b/c my mother wanted them done. I slapped the lady when she did them lol. I got my 2nd hole pierced when I was 7 and It didnt hurt!

I have my ears pierced and my septum pierced in my nose. It doesn't hurt that much and it doesn't hurt to wear earrings or noserings. I wear fine jewelry only, usually gold.

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? - probably a few weeks old
3) did it hurt and if so, exactly how much? - i wouldnt know
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)? - im from Nigeria and its impossible to find a girl wiht ears that are not pierced.. so its sorta tradition
Aloha! I am female and had my first set of ear piercings at age 12. A friend's sister did it, using a needle, thread, a cut potato and ice cubes..once the ice numbed my earlobe, I didn't feel a thing and healing was pretty fast and I've never had problems with the holes closing up. The second set of piercings was done when I was 42, in a jewelry store, with a piercing gun-which really HURT for about 2 minutes. The recovery time for this set was much longer than the first set, and the holes tend to close up in a few days if I don't wear earrings in them. Why? I got earrings as a gift when I was 12 and I wanted to wear them - the second set because I liked the look on other people :) Mahalo and have a gorgeous day!

Great topic. I was in Middle school, when I had mine done. I think I was around 13, maybe 14. I just have one in each ear. It hurt a little, not that much.
