The problem comes when they get three or more holes, eventually in life, if they keep on getting more or wear heavier earrings, their ear lobes are more prone to stretch and tear. Has to be fixed with cosmetic surgery. One of my friends now always wears her hair over he ears because of the damage she did getting too many piercings in the 80s. One of her babies grabbed her ear and that's all it took.
Lolol what? A pain to match the earrings? I’ve had the second hole since I was 10 and recently got a third. I enjoy changing up my earrings but it is really really not hard to “match” and my ears are fine. I wear quality jewelry that isn’t heavy.
Most kids don't. I found it to be too much of a pain early on and took it out.
Do you have really bad anxiety, PP? Do you also have trouble matching your shirt and pants? Do you insist that your underwear and bra match each other and your clothes? I have never thought about my earrings matching - okay, not true, maybe once at my wedding, I made sure they were all diamonds other than that, I do not now nor have I ever cared about this. I even, gasp, mix metals sometimes!!

That's about when I got my second piercing - in my 20s, I stopped wearing 2nd earrings and my holes closed up. It's fine.

My 10yo had one in each ear. If she wanted another one I’d be ok with it. I’m 50 and have 3 holes in each ear but only have earrings in the first two.

Yes. Because those two things are very clearly the same.
The logic is the same. The kid wants, the kid gets, because the kid wants.
So, do you say no to everything that your kids wants then?
If you're truly and honestly equating getting a second piercing to allowing a kid to get drunk on weekends, then we should probably go ahead and wrap this conversation up. Because there is no common ground.
It's a question of scale, not logic. I can't believe I even have to explain this, but piercings and alcohol use are on very different parts of the scale
Very true.
Alcohol is a core ingredient of social life in most places around the globe, while piercings scream TRASH TRASH TRASH kind of everywhere.

I really want to believe that this is the same person "+1"-ing their own post
Because its too much to think that there is more than one person in the that would equate teen ear piercing with teen drinking
Right? I actually think it may just be one person who is weirdly obsessed with ear piercing being trashy that posts in every thread. I have literally never heard this sentiment expressed in real life.

Personally, I'd say yes to this and save the battle some something like a tattoo. My parents told me I couldn't get my ears pieced and I ended up piecing my own belly button with a sewing needle.

You must have been really lacking critical thinking skills when you were younger. When I first got mine I wore a gold ball stud in the second hole all the time and just switched out the first hole. A lot of people pick a nice gold or Diamond stud for the second or third hole and just leave them be.
That's so funny, most kids don't have the money "for a nice gold.or diamond stud" just like I didn't. And the whole point of doing this was to be cool, not look like an old lady by wearing the same exact studs every day.
A pair of 14k gold studs is under a hundred dollars.

How do you hate it? It's literally a dot the size of a pinhead on your ears that no one sees. What is there to hate?
I don't know. The hole is still really obvious - that's great that some people's heal all the way up, but mine didn't and it bothers me. I never wore an earring in it after I took out the starter stud.
Is it "really obvious" to anyone besides you?
I have no idea. I don't go around talking about it (other than here haha). I just personally notice it and dislike it because it is a visible hole in my ear that I haven't used for an earring for thirty years.
