Ear modification

[elissaann]

The most common peer pressure body modification, in my opinion, is not weight loss. It's ear piercing

Me! My eyes are unpierced, and that's the way I like them.

Agh! Ears, that is. I should HOPE my eyes are unpierced.

My ears are pierced. I asked for pierced ears when I was 3 and my mother told me I had to wait until I was 6, thinking I'd forget about it. On the morning of my 6th birthday I asked to get my ears pierced. She tried to dissuade me saying that it would hurt, and that I had to take care of the healing process myself and that it was a lot of work, etc. I insisted. I got my ears pierced with a piercing gun at a jewelers, and took care of the piercings myself

My father was adamantly against my "poking holes in my body."

At 23, when I was making lots of beadwork jewelry to sell and coveting my own earrings-for-sale, it occurred to me that I didn't need his permission to get my ears pierced any more, and went and did so.

I have no piercings. I expect I know other women without pierced ears, but I don't actually pay enough attention to people's ears to be able to tell you who.

My mom got her ears pierced when I was... 8? 10? Something like that. I went and sat outside the shop because I didn't want to watch.

I very rarely wear jewelry other than my wedding ring (and for a while before that, my class ring), so I am in no need of additional places to put it.

Personally, I'm more attracted to women (and men) with no body modifications at all... piercings and tattoos are a turn-off for me, including earrings. Even shaving of arms and legs I find kind of unaesthetic... still, I'm just one data point.
