I'm allergic to the metals in earrings and the only thing i can wear are stainless steel earrings from tattoo/piercing parlors. I think if i can wear them, anybody can!

I have that problem. I can’t put just any metal in my ear, it will cause my ears to turn read, bumpy and itchy, and then they start burning. When or if you decide to get your ears pierced, get 14k or 24k gold. I wear earrings that have 14k gold posts and if I do decide to wear any other metal, I only keep it in my ear for just that occasion.
There is also the fact that you might have keloid skin. This is when your skin creates a scar around wounds that resolute in an overgrowth of tissue. Even if this happens to your ears, they can be surgically removed.
There is nothing wrong with getting your ears pierced. My mother had mine done when I was about a month old. But surprisingly, I have a lot of friends that do not have pierced ears. They wear clip on earrings; they feel that it is safer because if your earring gets caught on something it snaps right off and they don’t have to worry about keloids, cleaning the hole for 3 months, about infections, and the hole closing.
To me I knew I was responsible to take care of my ears and that’s why I got them done again when I got older. I have 3 holes on each side. In conclusion, think wisely, there are benefits (more styles to choose from) but there are consequences. You just have to be responsible. even if you decide to get them done and you don't want it anymore, just take the earrings out and the holes will close.

You may be allergic to nickel used in most earrings. You should know that though just by wearing other jewelry. If you can wear a necklace for a couple of days straight and not get a rash on the back of your neck, or wear a ring on your finger that's not real gold or silver and not get a rash, you're probably not allergic to nickel. And, even if you were, which i am, you can use nickel free earrings or real silver or gold! :)

When you get them pierced they usually start you out with some type of gold studs. Once you are able to remove them after the 6 weeks, you can buy the earrings for sensitive ears. As long as you get nickle free earrings, you should be ok.

My best friend has a nickel allergy.
Simply Whispers is a line of jewelery that is made JUST for girls that have sensitive skin. Their earrings are pretty cute as well. The only earrings that will might damage the skin are the cheap 2$ nickel earrings.
Always buy sterling sliver!

I dont know how but here's a tip, be careful of the gold earrings you get such as claire's, icing's (sp?) because when my sister wore gold earrings she got these weird big bumps on her ears and had to get them off by the dermatoligist

Get a pair of 14 carat gold ear rings. Gold is not allergenic.
