If your ear is pierced, how old were you when it was done? If you don't have them pierced, have you ever considered it?

I considered it yes.

3 in each ear. First ones were when I was in my teens. Done with a sewing needle & ice lol

I was 19 or 20.

All the holes in me came from the factory. Nothing after market.

I pierced my left earlobe in '73, using a sewing needle & thread, potato backing and a couple glasses of red wine.

Only sissies get their ears pierced at the mall.

I considered it when I was 10, my mom said I'd have to wait until I was 12 and by that time I didn't care about it anymore.

The first time I was about 14 and my father had a fit, so I let the holes heal up. It was the old needle and thread and Ice method. Had them done again when I was about 16, this time my father was out of the picture. I still wear earrings from time to time, dang sometimes years went by)when the kids were babies and young) though without my wearing them and the holes still stayed open.

Yes and 14.

I was 4 months old when I got them pierced.

OMG.

I was in the 4th grade the first time. The girl forgot to loosen the backs and four weeks later, they literally embedded themselves in my ears overnight!

So, me being determined, I asked again in the 5th grade. Probably had them for a week before we learned of my severe nickel allergy.

So I tried again in the 6th grade, with extra long 14k gold posts. All was well until my mom dropped relaxer on my earlobe.

I didn't try again until high school. It took months for them to stop getting infected. They still do sometimes if I wear cheap earrings for too long.

Then I got second holes in college for the hell of it.

Got my ears pierced when I was 14.

I was well into adulthood.
