My mother got her ears pierced at 35. I got mine done at 12.

My grandma got my ears pierced behind my mom's back for my 7th birthday and she got hers done the same day at age 53! My grandma rocked

I have my ears pierced twice, as does my mom.

I got my first holes when I was about 8, she did hers in college with an ice cube. We both got our second holes when I was 17.

How much does this stretching hurt?

I have my ears stretched--- i went from a regular earring size to a 12 guage--- about 3 weeks ago i stretched again to a 8 gauge. Your ears will be sore for a few days afterwards--and the eirrings will be very heavy--eventually you will not notice the weight-- i like the stretched ears--- i wear either horseshoes or a cbr. my husband has had his ears stretched to 2's-- but is now back to 8's. As far as the actual stretching it is a little painful.
good luck

My mom had my ears pierced when I was 2 months old. The holes will never close up. Those are the only piercings I have.

Same with me Leslie, I didn't have the gun or anything. I was like a few weeks old and for Italians, it's like tradition for the baby to get them pierced that young. Anyways the doctor did it with a needle, ice, and a potato. Potato? yeah I duno. But they will NEVER close up. My 2nd holes won't either, even tho I never wear earrings in them. I duno why not. Then on my left ear I have two cartilage piercings... one with a gun and one with a needle. The needle hurt like hell but it's safer than the gun.

I had my tongue pierced but my mom screamed at me and I had to take it out not even 24 hours later. I REALLY wana get it pierced again! I want something pierced. I'd love to get my belly button pierced but I'm too big for that. Nose would be cool too but my parents would hate that! UGH for traditional Italian parents!

I did have my ears stretched. I actually had them pierced at a 10, then immediately stretched to an 8. With the weight of the cbr's, I was able to fit 6 guage plugs in within a few months after they healed. I eventually stretched to a 2. The piercing hurt like a mother, but the stretching wasn't so bad. Yeah, it did hurt, but it's definitely not unbearable. My left ear was a little harder to stretch the last time, but I think that was because of some weird scar tissue.

I personally love metal eyelets. The weight of cbr's didn't suit me, and when I wore talons I always got my hair or sleeves caught on them.

I'm a big fan of piercings... I think they're fun! Though some people get some that just don't look right on them at all, but as long as they like them, who cares? I can't say I've ever been a fan of bellybutton piercings, though everyone else seems to like them.
Anyway, mine:
earlobes 3 times each (got them when I was 8, 14, & 17, respectively)
cartilage in both ears (my 'I'm 18 so I can poke holes in myself without parental consent' adventure -- btw, NEVER get both done at the same time! it's just a bad idea. didn't hurt to get it pierced, just to sleep on...)
both ear heads (this past March. I've never seen another person with these done -- anyone else have them?)

I had my nose done for a few months (Jan-Apr '03), but I took it out before I came home from school because my dad would have disowned me. Oh well -- it was fun while it lasted!

Out of curiousity, what's an ear head?
I have two holes in each ear, and then two in my right cartilage. I want to get my left tregus pierced, too, but that'll probably have to wait until after rush. Word is that we're going to have to take out all our piercings during rush except for one set of earrings -- they're gonna get hell from everyone if they try to enforce that one!!!

here's a picture of one... it's the one with the ring (obviously, since the other 2 are pretty standard)

um, and if that link doesn't work, try

I don't think our chapter ever could decide to make us take out all our piercings for rush... we're a pretty pierced group there!

If it's not that much of a stretch you can do it yourself. The trick is to get into a hot shower and AS SOON AS YOU GET OUT try putting in the larger earing. The heat helps your skin expand and it's less painful...also some potrollium (sp) jelly will help it slide into the piercing. Hope that helps...I know it sounds weird and kinda strange but it worked for my bellybutton. Hope that helps

I've got one hole in each ear and a stud in my nose. For the nose, I get tiny CZs in 14K gold at the Icing and bend the post to a 90º angle. It's very subtle-- my second graders didn't even notice 'til the last day of school-- and I take it out when I'm around my parents or applying for a "grown-up job."

I have 10.

In my ears:
1st holes: when I was 10; because I was "old" enough for them

2nd holes: 8th grade graduation present from my aunt. (it made my dad so mad. hee hee)
3rd holes: for my 18th birthday. (sometime that month)
4th hole left ear: for one of my bf 18th birthday (it is inbetween my lobes and cartilage)
4th hole right ear: for my guy bf 18th birthday (my cartilage)
and my left tregus: spring break last year

and I have my belly button (did it in Hawaii on my senior trip in High School)

I don't really know why, but I've always gotten pierced with some kind of reasoning behind it. (like doing the belly button in Hawaii.. I had to do it so I'd always remember my trip...I'm a nerd I know

) Anyone else do this?

rainbowbrightCS · #**120** 06-27-2003, 09:18 AM

at one time (about a year ago, but i took them out)
i had these piercings
daith
tragus
tongue
navel
two helix
12 loobes

so that's 18 in all, plus two tatts

I know im weird, but now i only have 2 lobes, my two helix, my daith, my tragus, and my navel. every thing else is gone, i still have my tatts!
