wow hearing all these stories are just crazy!
i'm glad i never had to go through anything like this
i had my ears pierced when i was a baby.. i had my 2nd set when i was 10 and then when i was 12 i wanted the one on the cartilage and my parents didn't mind at all, actually my brother worked at the earring place and he did it...
when i was 15 i got my belly button pierced and my mom and uncle came with me, but it ripped off at school when we were at a retreat hiking.. it caught on my pants, but it didn't hurt cause i guess i hadn't noticed..
i got it redone about a year later, and i also had gotten my 1st tattoo when i was 17 on the small of my back, then on my 18th birthday got another one and also got my lower lip pierced (towards the right side, it was kinda cute), but then i went to nursing school right after highschool and took them out, foradd in that i got my tongue and nose pierced too.
i'm 21, and only have 4 piercings, and i barely wear earrings though, but i never take out the one in my cartilage.. i sometimes forget it's there.
my daughter is now 8 months old (on the 5th), and i had her ears done when she was 3 months, they doctor okayed it since she had gotten her immunizations.
in my family, earrings are not a big deal.. well i guess tattoo's aren't either since my brother's and myself have them.. from the sounds of it, i sound like i'm a tattoo's and pierced up girl, but in all actuallity i'm not!
im a regular girl, actually i'm a nurse now so i'm very professional looking (or so i try!)
i think i'd let my daughter get her ears pierced (2nd ones) if she wanted them.. better her ears than a tattoo or her navel or something like that right?
