Pierced ears? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jp4m2 · 03-02-2007, 07:38 AM

My GD wants to get a third hole in her ears (she's 11)...my DD says she has too many holes in her head already & no more....That got me thinking about the subject of pierced ears...it was such a BIG deal when I was young(er)... now babies have their ears done....Lets take a trip down memory lane for a moment

...when I was about 13 I wanted to do mine so bad ( of course I had to fit in)...dad says "no way"......so what's a defiant teen to do...ya , you guessed it....I did it anyway..he never looks at my ears anyway

.... I couldn't drive so there where these "self-piercing ear-rings" at the local drug store....I put them on my ears... they where circles & one end was sharp & I have to squeeze them every day til they eventually work their way through

Would that be considered torture now a days

I finally got my holes...& dad didn't really care after the fact.... When did you pierce yours & was it a big deal?

I was a bad girl too and had a friend pierce mine with a needle and ice cube. She kept chickening out when she'd hear the popping noise and it took forever. My mom had said I couldn't have it done too but..... you know how it goes. I hadn't asked in a while so I used the excuse I didn't think she would care now that I was older (a whole 16 years old!).

red98vett · 03-02-2007, 07:44 AM

LOL You reminded me of ME. I pierced mine way way back when I was young (14) by putting ice cubes on them and sticking the needle in myself....I did multiple piercings - it was a HUGE deal to me back then.

then the whole world seemed to be wearing 2 in each ear

and for years I did too... I still can wear 3 in one ear if I want to but usually don't. In my opinion - ear piercing is minor compared to what some kids want to do these days...

Be glad it isn't her NOSE or her eyebrow or other 'places' - for some reason I've just never liked that 'look'

I got mine done when I was about 13 or 14 I dont remember exactly. Anyway I wore earrings that were too heavy and it ripped my hole. I had new holes put in about 6 months ago. I had My Daughters done when she was six but it scared her and so every time I was going to put in earrings on her she thought it was going to hurt. Anyway so she never wears earrings and I think her holes have closed up.

Tiggerwit · 03-02-2007, 07:47 AM

I got my first holes when i was 6. I got a second hole I think as an adult.

My oldest has hers double pierced on one in the cartlidge. My youngest, 16, has hers double pierced and wants her cartlidge pierced.

My mother did mine when I was a baby. It's not a big deal in my family and they are usually done when you are...a baby. However, it was a big deal when I got my second holes done and too much scar tissue formed around the hole. I then had to have surgery on my ears so they could remove the excess scar tissue. Not fun!

MeganS · 03-02-2007, 07:54 AM

OUCH!! These stories are giving me the creeps! How could you stick a needle through yourself!? I have my ears pierced, but my parents had them done when I was really little! The person who did it was quite stupid and my holes are quite uneven, but it's not really noticeable.

UGH - how could you stick things through your ears!?

JCarlson2004 · 03-02-2007, 07:55 AM

My mom has my ears done when I was a baby. Then was I was about 13, I got a second hole in ear ear. When I was a little older, I FINALLY begged my mom to let my get one in my top right ear (cartlidge). When I was 19, I got 3 holes but I thought it looked too "busy" so I let them close (there's no scar).

Tink's Mom · 03-02-2007, 07:58 AM

I was 18 and my mother had a rippin fit!

"How could you go behind my back and do this horrible thing." My girlfriend did it with a needle and an ice cube and they are crooked to this day! I let my daughter have her's done at 10 and then a second hole at 12. When she got a tiny little stud in her nose at 20, I winced, but it's cute.

Lexi Rae · 03-02-2007, 08:00 AM

when i was i think 16 i got me ears pierced then i got two more.
then two more again.. i have 6 holes in my ears.. 3 on each side.
i wear diamond studs on the two last holes and on the first holes
i change earings.. i wear hoops or any long hanging earing... looks good

jp4m2 · 03-02-2007, 08:00 AM

Chachi.. when you mentioned it about ripped holes it reminded me of the time when it was cool to where hoops... the bigger the better. I was brushing my hair & woops.. the ear ring went flying..after a couple times of that I now have oblong holes... so I can't where any that hang on a wire ...they have to be on a post or they look uneven.

jp4m2 · 03-02-2007, 08:04 AM

Tink's mom.. that was funny!! I actually do like the TINY stud on the side of the nose..but it would look ridiculous on me ...I like the three holes in the ear when there's a tiny chain going from the bottom hole to the top of the ear.

If you have little girls i think that iis the best time to have it done when they are babies. I wish I would have did my daughters then. We thought it would be best to wait untill she wanted it done and atn 6 she did. It just scared he so bad she wont let me put earrings in

Amando · 03-02-2007, 08:28 AM

My mom wouldn't let me pierce my ears until I was 18. She had a lot of problems with getting her ears infected when she was younger... I waited until the day after I graduated from high school. I was only 17, but my grandparents signed the waiver for me. My grandmother (on my dad's side) thought that it was "Ridiculous" that I couldn't get my ears pierced!

I now have my cartilage and belly button pierced. I still only have one hole in each ear done.

By the way, my younger sisters were able to get their ears pierced at 14 and 12 years old. My mom took them... Oh the joys of being the oldest!!!

mommiemary · 03-02-2007, 08:39 AM
