I begged and begged my mum to let me have my ears pierced and she finally relented when I was 15. 15 years later I had DS1, followed by DS2 and stopped wearing earrings because they would both grab at them. They're now both far too big to be picked up, but I never put the earrings back in and the holes have closed up. It's never bothered me at all I haven't even thought about earrings in years.
Until now. I've just had my hair cut short - it's fab even if I do say so myself, but my earlobes are now on show. Should I get my ears pierced again? If I do how much will it hurt and how long will they be sore for?
