This thread really does bring back memories. My mother and I pierced ours at the same time when I was 13 with a needle, but no ice. My Aunt just pinched our ears for a few seconds. Can't say that helped much. I got my second hole when my oldest daughter (6 at the time) wanted hers pierced, but she wanted me to do it with her. My cartilidge got pierced because my oldest daughter (20 at this point) wanted to do it. I went first then she chickened out. I couldn't believe she was afraid since she already had her tongue and belly button pierced. The tongue stud fell out in the sink and down the drain. THANK GOODNESS. I told my youngest daughter that she could pierce her belly button at 16. Her dad was really not in agreement, but we over ruled him. I don't really care for any facial piercings. |
