Should i get my ears peirced?

Question

I am 15 and am thinking of getting my ears peirced. I asked my mum a year ago and she said no and im worried to ask again. I want them done purely for vanity. I hate clip on earrings so I want them done properly. Any advice?
Like where to go or after care. (I wont go to clares cos ive heard bad stuff) ps . I live in England so anywhere in the south west or who have stores around here leave a name or address.

Answer 1

Of course you should. its just earrings. I wouldnt like that on the belly or tounge or eyebrow. but ear is normal. when you take your earring off it doesnt look bad.. or it doesnt deform your ear.

Answer 2

Yea sure get your ears pierced...it's really not a big thing. My advice is to go somewhere like a real jewelry store. Get gold plated or silver plated studs- not stainless steal. I know this because I got stainless steal and got infected, then I had to get them re-done. The after care includes cleaning the ear with a special solution that they give you. Its like a fresh wound, so you just have to keep it sanitary. As for where in England I don't know..I've been in London many time but I never got my ears done there sorry. I would just suggest going somewhere a little more upmarket! Good luck

Answer 3

I have 8 ear piercings. When I was 4 I got my first holes, when I was 8 I got a second piercing in my left ear and a cartilage piercing in my right. When I was 11 I got a third piercing in my left ear and a second cartilage in my right, and when I was 12 I I got a second and third piercing in my right ear. Now I am 13 almost 14 and I might get an inside ear type piercing...I don't really know what it's called.

My point is if you want them done, go for it. I got mine done at Walmart.

Answer 4

I don't know what that one poster was talking about. I've never heard of anyone dying from getting their ears pierced. Ask your Mom again, and see what she says. Go to a nice shop, I'm sure there are lots there. Just make sure you keep the original studs in for about 5-6 weeks. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

If poss, wait til ur 16, then ur mum might be a bit easier on u. i had mine pierced for my 1st birthday so didn't have to ask. When i got my bellybutton pierced at 22, my mum went mad!!! Look up in the pages directory for tattooists or piercing places. If they're advertised in the pages, then they must be good! Good luck!!!

Answer 6

Yes why not, just keep them cleaned and turn the earings. I live in Australia, so cant advise where to go to have them done, my daughter had her ears pierced at the chemist and they pierced both ears at the same time... ... ... ... good luck

Answer 7

I cannot help you on where to go but i do think you should do it and if your mom doesnt want you toand you do it anyway you need to think if the consequences are worth having your ears pierced or not. I personally would do it....but it is entirely up to you

Answer 8

Yeah have them done..! im 15 i had mine done when i was 11 or 12....it doesnt hurt it just shocks you abit..!! My frind's mum did mine because shes a proffessional 1 or w.e ya call it...lol:P go claire's there is nothing wrong with having them done there : )

Answer 9

It simple - and if you dont like it, you can take out the earrings and the holes grow back..but you have to take them out during the first few weeks.

Answer 10

if you really want it done, you should just ask her. be respectful though. and if she says no, then don't run off and do it, b/c then she won't trust you at all! that would NOT be good!
i don't live in England so i have no clue, sorry, but just calmly ask her again...hope everything works out!
