I finally got my ears pierced, haha...

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

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.

(I used to work at an Earring Tree, which is how I know all this.)

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.

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

Congrats Flamepony! I don't have a high pain tollerance either. Bleh, I hate all needles and stuff.

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 .. don't remember when or how I got my earholes. 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!
