I would like to ask those who have (or have had) pierced ears to answer a few plain questions:
1) your gender
2) how old were you when you got it done?
3) did it hurt and if so, exactly how much?
4) did you decide to do it voluntarily or were you under some kind of compulsion (family member getting it done for you without your consent, friends coaxing you into it, feeling the need to do it because of fashion etc)?

The first hole was done when I was 2 days old by my grandmother. She is from Spain and it is tradition. The second and third I did myself, 1 pair at home and the other in the girls bathroom at school with my best friend in the seventh grade. I then went on to do my sister's second piercing and my brother's first piercing.
I have one more piercing in the top part of my ear. Had that done in high school.
They were all quite voluntary I guess.

Hi! This is fun! I am a female. I was a freshman in High school when I first had mine done. The second holes- while I was a Sr. in high school, and the third holes about 7 weeks ago. It didnot hurt, but I am having trouble with the 3rd holes healing. My mom did the 1st holes at home with a needle, I had the 2nd and 3rd holes done with a gun at the mall. I did them all on my own except the 2nd one. I had a boyfriend that told me if I got it done he would break up with me. I want to do another hole in the cartlidge but that kinda scares me! I hope this helps! Debbie
(Edited once- I just read what I wrote and it was the 2nd holes that I was not allowed to get from a boyfriend.) % ic adp` - ,(b` $( b !( ,,,--% -,--,Bb '$

It doesn't mean anything Debbie if a guy has both ears pierced.
Years ago, if a man had his left ear pierced, he was hetrosexual. If he had his right ear pierced, he was gay. If he had both pierced, he was bisexual.
But that went out years ago, in my mom's generation.
Today , most men who have both ears pierced are ordinary hetrosexual men who are with women.
I have each of my ears pierced twice, but I usually only wear one pair of earrings.
I would actually like Brent to get his other ear pierced and wear earrings in both ears. We could share pairs of earrings then. ,

I am female. I got my ears pierced when I was 12 or 13 years old. My little sister (at that time 6 or 7 years old) got her ears pierced in a jewelleryshop, and after that I insisted having earrings too. It had never occured to me to ask my mother for piercings, but if my sister had had it, I wanted it too.
My right ear was more sensitive than the left, it hurt more and got infected afterwards. I remember that I had to clean it with a smelly lotion many times a day.

No, I'm actually not getting mine done. This survey serves certain socio-political purposes. Thanks for all answers, very informative.

Ummm...if you were a newborn then, do you ACTUALLY REMEMBER that it didn't hurt?
You weren't given a choice, Ginger, it was just done, so AFAIK, it was forced on you.

Hi:
Great topic. I was in Middle school, when I had mine done. I think I was around 13, maybe 14. I just have one in each ear. It hurt a little, not that much.

Aloha! I am female and had my first set of ear piercings at age 12. A friend's sister did it, using a needle, thread, a cut potato and ice cubes..once the ice numbed my earlobe, I didn't feel a thing and healing was pretty fast and I've never had problems with the holes closing up.
The second set of piercings was done when I was 42, in a jewelry store, with a piercing gun-which really HURT for about 2 minutes. The recovery time for this set was much longer than the first set, and the holes tend to close up in a few days if I don't wear earrings in them.
Why? I got earrings as a gift when I was 12 and I wanted to wear them - the second set because I liked the look on other people :)
Mahalo and have a gorgeous day!

I have my ears pierced and my septum pierced in my nose.
It doesn't hurt that much and it doesn't hurt to wear earrings or noserings.
I wear fine jewelry only, usually gold.

I'm a middle aged man, married, and have four daughters.
I wear long hair (straight blonde hair, mid-back length) and I have each ear lobe pierced twice.
I am getting my ear lobes pierced again for a third time each, next Friday, Feb. 18th.
My wife, for a Valentine's day present, bought me an afternoon at a full service beauty salon.
At the salon, I'm getting my hair trimmed (just a small trim to get rid of the split ends and even out my tresses in a blunt cut, I'm keeping my hair long), a massage, my hair highlighted, my nails done, and my ears pierced again.
I wear all types of earrings; studs, hoops, long dangle earrings, etc.. I like to wear 14 ct. gold earrings.
I first got my ears pierced in my early 20s (I'm now in my mid- 40s).
I got my ears pierced because I wanted to, (although a woman I was dating at the time encouraged me to get my ears pierced and was wild about pierced ears and earrings and jewelry on men).
The main reason I got my ears pierced is because I believed I would look good with long hair, a beard, and earrings.
I believe it is a look that suits me.
I have worn long hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and earrings ever since.< ,

Good for him DakotaDiva.
There are quite a few men who wear long hair and even more who wear earrings nowadays. It's common.< ,

I am female. Had my ears done when I was 15, hurt a bit but not too much, just one in each ear. Had it done for me, not because of peer pressure or any of that stuff.
