Anyway, if you want to try again, try using just 24 carat gold earring posts. There is a brand called Simply Whispers that you can get that just the posts are coated in 24-carat gold, and folks don't have allergic reactions to them. It is often the nickle in earring posts that cause people problems.
I dont mean the age was the issue, all I am saying is that had I had a choice I wouldnt have done it, and I definitely wouldnt have done it twice. Also, being done at a young age and not having a choice, I now have holes in my body, I dont like. Thats all I am saying.

I have tried 24k earings, as well as 18 k and 10 k and ect...nothing works. They just get infected, and swollen and bleed. I dont like it, and they have long since closed up anyways. but theya re still there, and annoy me realy.

I just think, when it comes to a permanent hole in ones body, it should be up to that person, not their parents.
