[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, did you have your ears pierced as a baby? I did not, but all my in-laws are Indian and they say the advantage of piercing an infant girl's ears is that once they're older, their holes won't close up as they do if you pierce as a teenager and go without earrings for awhile (as mine did). I don't know if this is true, but if it is, it is a major disadvantage in my book.[/quote]

I am not the OP, but I am Indian and my ears were pierced when I was baby.  I actually was unaware until reading DCUM that this is something that people look down upon.  I guess I'll just have to let my wealthy, highly educated parents know that they are actually trashy and poor and just never realized it.

Anyway, to answer your question PP, my original earring holes from when I was a baby have never closed up, despite going months at a time without wearing earrings.  Meanwhile, the 2nd earring holes that I pierced back in the 80s closed up super quickly when I stopped wearing earrings in them.  So there may be something to your in-laws theory.
