Re: Clicky Poll: S/O Ear Piercing
I voted SS.
I got my ears pierced when I was in 3rd grade, because my bff had her ears pierced. I think I went to a place like Claire's in the mall. I have big fatty ear lobes, and one day my tiny earrings got caught INSIDE my earlobes when I was taking them out, and I had to go to the ER to get shots in my ears and have the earrings removed.
After that my mom told me I had to wait until I was 16 to get earrings again. At 16, I didn't feel the need to have earrings, and I still don't, so my ears are "born again" earring-less ears.

TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
My sister used to work for Claire's. She recommend we go to a tattoo shop because they don't use those guns and they are actually trained professionals for piercing. Another 17 year old taught my sister how to do it. Scary!

I chose SS.
I first got my ears pierced but got tired of taking them out to play volleyball. Tried again when I was 18 but let them close. And I just got them pierced a year ago, finally sticking!
my currently-reading shelf:
I was a scaredy cat as a kid. The littlest things scared me. I was terrified of them with that thing at my head. My mom gave me no say in whether I wanted them just told me that it was happening and it was kinda like shots.
I actually couldn't keep earrings in them. They somewhat closed because of it. Then at about 6 or 7 my stepsister tried putting earrings back into them and ended up reopening them due to her forcing the earring through the back. Yeah I was not a happy camper then either. But they are still open and I wear studs in them daily.
ss: i was 6 when i first got them pierced. it was so painful and i remember it!! i only had one done and i cried and walked around the mall saying i didnt want my other ear pierced. eventually my mom convinced me to get my other ear.
they got infected so often we eventually took them out- i have no idea when.
i got them done again when i was 15? still hurt.

I got mine pierced for my sixth birthday. I never had infections or other issues, but I really didn't wear earrings between the ages of 11 or so and 19. At 19 or 20, I tried to put in a pair of earrings and discovered the right hole had closed. Oops.
I'm 28 now and still haven't had them re-pierced. Not much of a jewelry person.
I have had mine pierced three times. I got them pierced in 4th grade. They got really infected so I let them close. Then I tried again a year later. One got all infected again and had to be repierced. Somewhere in high school I have up on earrings. I would love to be able to wear them but no go.
One of my students gave me earrings for Christmas. That was an awkward thank you note! Thank you for the earrings (that I will never wear). I gave them to my mom.
