I have 3 piercings in each ear. And no, not in the cartilage area, I'm too much of a pussy...

For me Ive, heard they close up super fast and I am shit at staying consistent

Same. I had my piercings done when I was a baby (So obviously I don't remember the pain)... I'm too much of a pussy to get another piercing done now as an adult.

I did them for my 15th birthday and the second ones I had to reopen them like 4 times.

Got the cartilage one abt 3 years ago and I swear I heard a crack(￣∇￣")

i got my ears pierced for the first time at 14 then they closed up (w the earring in the ear) so they had to cut open my ears to take them out,, def never getting my ears pierced again

Before maybe at 5 to 7 years old I absolutely loved earings. Well up until the earing(not the needle) got stuck in the hole and my mom had to take it out for me. It hurt a lot. Never getting them peirced cause I'm scared.

I have the 3 piercing in the each side and additionally 1 called helix (in the upper part of the ear) and that last one HURT LIKE HELL, I couldn't sleep for months on that side of my face

Seems like everyone in the reply has some sort of earring trauma

i only got my lobes pierced,i have 4 in total, still scared to get a cartilidge since you have to take care of it for year unlke the lobe wich are good after a month..i remember my friends earrings dug into the hole and god that was disgusting

this turned out to be earring trauma stories. My face hurts from laughing
