I have the lowest pain tolerance in the world, so I waited until now to get my ears pierced. xD;
But it didn't hurt very much at all! It just honestly felt like something was through my ear. haha. More like a dull pain than a stinging, and it was very brief.
....anyway, I like it, I'll be happy once I can start wearing different earrings :)
Congrats! I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 26. :o Then I found out after trying repeatedly, I couldn't wear earrings, not even clip ons, because my ears would start hurting and turn red. I'm sure you'll have no problems though, enjoy wearing them! :D
Congrats!! I haven't had my ears pierced yet.... I'm kinda scared it going to hurt and all that stuff. :o I want to but i'm scared it'll hurt, there so much cute earrings out there that I wish I could have. Eventually I'll get them done.
It really doesn't hurt that much, only a quick, dull pain. I got them done about 2 or 3 hours ago and I don't feel ANYTHING.. i think the worst part is being nervous :) Take it from someone who worries about going to the doctor in fear of getting a finger prick! ;)Quote:

Yes, I do have pierced ears, thanks to an Avon Lady, who became a very close friend to me (more like an older sister!!!)
I must have been in my early thirties at the time, and the thought of having my ears pierced seemed like a horrible surgery!!! :D :D
I'm 21 and still have not pierced my ears...I have no interest for some reason...
I got mine done at 10 or 12. lol. I have HIGH tollerance for pain. I just got my nose done. I've had it done before, twice. The first time I did myself. 2nd time someone did it with a peircing gun. And I read few days ago that is a nono. Then this time I did it right at a place with a needle. It hurt. Nothing like childbirth tho ;)
I've had my eye brow, tongue, ears, nose, belly button.
Now the only thing open is my new nose and my ears. oH I also gave myself 2nd holes on my ears. The tongue didn't hurt at all. I was more scared. I did it 3 times. I kept taking it out because I couldn't get past the annoying swollen stage.
I am metal sensitive. So I have to wear the plastic kind. I think its either nylon or something. I can't remember. But so far so good.
I also have a tattoo, and wanting more.
Make sure you turn the studs so no crust forms around the post or they'll be hard to remove..gross, I know. I also put peroxide or alcohol on my lobes 2x a day (morn and night).
So wierd..even with all my surgeries, the pain of getting my ears pierced in a split second was a different type of pain for me and I screamed like a baby. My bottom holes are stretched due to the 60's HUGE, heavy earrings. My 2nd holes closed because the girl hit the cartilege and I kept getting infections.
Anyway..sorry to ramble....have fun buying lots of new funky earrings! I feel naked without earrings on.
Congratulations!! :D
I agree with Jenna, I am sooo nervous. At our mall they do it for free and my mom always offers to get them done for me but I always chicken out. I dread going to the mall sometimes because I see someone getting them done and I get all mad that I'm to chicken. My godfather got me really cool diamond earrings that would look nice on me but I don't think I'll be wearing them anytime soon. :o
That's awesome!
I got mine pierced as a little baby, so I wouldn't know what it feels like. I rarely wear earrings anymore because my ears always get red and infected :(
Congrats, Flamepony! It'll be fun to wear some cute earrings. The holidays are around the corner. You could ask Santa for some. :D
My older bully of a sister and I got ours pierced together when we were 10 and 12, or so.
She went first and reacted quite stressfully and and yelled, "oooowww". So when it was my turn, I didn't flinch.
I felt it all right, but I had a smile on my face and kept the same facial expression throughout the pierce. It was my way of showing that I'm tough in my own way, Iguess. :rolleyes:
That's cool! It is fun to pick out different earrings. I got mine done when I was 11- my parents made me wait until then. I was so excited when I got them done but now I hardly ever wear jewelry. :p I really like earrings, I just hardly ever wear them.
I got my ears pierced when I was 5 years old, my cartalige pierced when I was 16, and my second hole done at 17. unfortunately my cartialige hole and my second hole closed up. :( I would probably get it done again. I don't think it hurts at all. the cartalige one did hurt a little, though.
Congrats! :D I got my ears pierced when I was a baby, and this year I finally got enough courage to get a second hole. I was expecting a big pain, but I agree, it hurt for just a second, and it was so fast that I almost didn't notice!
I want to get my cartilage pierced now, but I've heard that it hurts a lot and that it takes a lot of time to heal, so I'm not sure if I want to go through it...
That means you have a metal allergy - most earrings have nickle in thier posts which some people's bodies react to. You can wear earrings, but you need to either buy them with the gold-coated posts (Simply Whispers is one brand) or coat the posts of the earring you do have in clear nail polish.Quote:

haha yeah, I've been turning them and using alcohol wipe things to clean them twice a day. (: I don't feel them at all otherwise.. 6 weeks until I can change the earrings though ;)Quote:

I got my ears pierced when I was a wee little baby, so I don't remember if it hurt or not. I never wear earings though and my holes have probably closed up. I haven't worn earings in like 10 years.
Congratulations!
I got my ears pierced when I was 5 months old. I got a second set of holes pierced when I was 11, they closed up and I had them re-pierced when I was 13. I don't remember when I got the rest but by the time I was 17 I had 5 holes in each ear. I've let most of my holes close up. I don't wear earrings too often, but when I do it's just in my first holes.
yay, fun isn't it??
goodness .. :rolleyes: don't remember when or how I got my earholes. :o don't even remember if got two holes on each earlobes at same time either. must be under age ten or so then. I have two holes on each side. bottom ones are usually for little hoops or longer ones and tops for smaller ones.
curious - what are your earring style? have fun earring hunting! :)
