I had my ears pierced when I was maybe 7-8 yrs old... I don't remember what age for sure, I Just remember it hurting like hell and after they did the first one I wouldn't let them do the 2nd one.....lol so we had to come back a few days later so they could do the other side and so they are not totally even...lol However, I hardly ever wear them, its really been years.. but they have never closed up...

Just over a year ago I got my right eye brow pierced (me and 2 friends went to a tattoo place - both my friends got their nose pierced, I did the eye brow LOL)... it healed up great and I LOVED it.... but about 8 months after I got it, I had to take it out when I went back home for Xmas (my family didn't know about it and would have hated it!).... and so it was out for a few days.. when I got back to my house, tried to put it back in and it closed up on me. I have thought about trying to get it done again, because I really liked it... and I have thought about getting more pierced in my ears, mainly the cartlidge...

I have to say the ears hurt MUCH MUCH worse than the eye brow... I didn't even feel the eye brow... but I know when I got my ears pierced they used a piercing gun (this was like in the late 80's).... and when I got my eye brow all the guy used was a very sharp needle... as opposed to a blunt piercing gun... didn't feel a thing with the eye brow piercing...
