Yeah, but I don't wear earrings because my mom used to buy me the hooped ones. And I don't like hoops. And I have simple piercings, not those nasty gages. *Bleh*
I got my ears pierced a couple months after i was born,my dad took me. When i got older,i got my cartliage pierced on both sides,and i got 3 holes in both of my ears. I like ear rings
It depends on how you get it done, honestly. If you go to a place like Claire's or Walmart and get it done with a piercing gun (which isn't recommended, they're pretty unsanitary; but they're cheaper *shrug*, but it's only for a helix and the lobes. NEVER let them use a gun for other piercings) then you feel it, but it happens so fast you don't have time to react.
If you get it done at a tattoo and piercing parlor (they use a needle, which will also remove surrounding cartilage and make a bigger hole, which means you can pick the gauge you want) it actually hurts a lot more. However, because it removes the surrounding cartilage, you'll be able to move the earring around with absolutely no pain at all (when it heals XD). Whereas, a piercing gun piercing isn't half as flexible and can get irritated with things like sleeping on it wrong.
Just pick your pros and cons, but don't be scared of it when you go (if you do plan on getting one); it's not a big deal at all. You'll just psych yourself out.
It is an informal custom of sorts among our culture for girls to have their ears pierced.

Just thought I'd chime in. :D
Are you serious? Why?
Well maybe if I was a Zulu.
