I first got my ears pierced when i was a baby.
it grew out/hole closed up.
then when i was like, 11 i pierced them myself, through the original hole with a sterilised earring and a lump of ice. it hurt like hell, and i wouldnt recomment it. [Besides which, My mum went ape at me for piercing my ears without her permission, and because it got infected.

]
i recently had it done again at claires. it didnt hurt; made me flinch slightly as the earring went through my ear but thats it. after a few minutes, my left ear was bright red and hot, [though not sore]
That was in August. and they're healed now, so i can change my earrings, ect. My left ear does still hurt from time to time.
-Iv also had my stomach pierced though, once i did it myself after it healed.
-- LOL!! PAiN iS FUN!!
