I begged and pleaded with my mom until she finally let me get them done when I was about 13. Then I went and got second holes put in (without her permission) when I was 15. She was not thrilled. When I got my third holes done when I was 17 (again without permission) she was past caring I think.
She was probably thinking 'well, at least it's not a tattoo'. Heh heh, I did THAT to her the next year.
