I was 5; I had to go in for surgery anyway so my mom asked them to pierce my ears when I was under as a special treat.

7 - I was in second grade, and one of the only girls that didn't already have pierced ears!

Never! I think about doing it, but the fact that once you have holes in your body, you can't undo it (I know you can let them grow back shut, but you can still tell a hole was there) keeps scaring me off. My family would really know I've gone off the deep end if I got my ears pierced, lol.

8 or 9 I think. I went with my BFF, and that's all I remember. I think I was in 2nd grade.

Under 1. I couldn't get a second set until I was 15 which I always thought was odd.

Still not pierced. My sisters and my mom don't have pierced ears either.

My mother had her ears pierced as a child and didn't like that she didn't have the choice. So I do not have mine pierced.
I don't plan on piercing mine unless future DD wants to do hers. We'll make it a girl's day.

I don't remember the exact age but I was old enough to remember...maybe 4 or 5? I don't remember the actual piercing but I know it was an at-home job and they used string to keep the our piercings open. (My little sister and I got pierced at the same time).

@chopsuey119: I was also 13 and it was one of the most awfully embarassing experiences of my childhood. I cried in the middle of the mall at the Piercing Pagoda,. If and when I have a baby girl, I think I will pierce her ears when she's a baby. I love little girls in earrings!

@artbee: This is funny! I can't believe you went to a plastic surgeon! My brother-in-law is really funny about my neice getting her ears pierced. He is concerned about the wholes being perfectly even.
