I just have my ears pierced, once on each ear. I do wear earrings frequently. I didn't wear them much when my kids were little, but I wear them all the time now. My ear lobes are on the thick side, so my holes never closed up. I find wearing studs uncomfortable. I like wires. Oldest DD has had her ears pierced since she was 4 and never had a problem. I don't think she wears earrings much now.
Youngest DD had her ears pierced at 10, they closed up, and had them redone at 14. I think they've closed up again. She has a nose piercing, with a small stud on the side. The fastener inside her nose looks like a booger to me.
My mother was dead set against her 5 daughters getting their ears pierced. That was something "foreign" women did. LOL! I was the first to rebel at age 20, and 3 of my other sisters followed shortly.
