I would like to ask those who have (or have had) pierced ears to answer a few plain questions:

1) your gender

2) how old were you when you got it done?

3) did it hurt and if so, exactly how much?

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)?

The first hole was done when I was 2 days old by my grandmother. She is from Spain and it is tradition. The second and third I did myself, 1 pair at home and the other in the girls bathroom at school with my best friend in the seventh grade. I then went on to do my sister's second piercing and my brother's first piercing.

I have one more piercing in the top part of my ear. Had that done in high school.

They were all quite voluntary I guess.

3) did it hurt and if so, exactly how much? no. just a pinch unless the earring gets put on too tight then they just loosen it.

4) did you decide to do it voluntarily or were you under some kind of compulsion the first time i got my hair cut super short like 1 1/2 so i got them so i wouldn't look like a boy.

Hi! This is fun! I am a female. I was a freshman in High school when I first had mine done. The second holes- while I was a Sr. in high school, and the third holes about 7 weeks ago. It didnot hurt, but I am having trouble with the 3rd holes healing. My mom did the 1st holes at home with a needle, I had the 2nd and 3rd holes done with a gun at the mall. I did them all on my own except the 2nd one. I had a boyfriend that told me if I got it done he would break up with me. I want to do another hole in the cartlidge but that kinda scares me! I hope this helps! Debbie
(Edited once- I just read what I wrote and it was the 2nd holes that I was not allowed to get from a boyfriend.)
