Getting ears pierced at 17?

Great girlfriend she is.

you dont have to know absolutely everything about each other to have a good relationship :rolleyes: if something as minuscule as an ear piercing determines whether or not your partner is good, then have fun getting disappointed for the rest of your life.

and no? why would it be too late? haha, im really confused.

i want to get mine done, but i want to stretch mine, so id rather not wear the starter stud for like 6 weeks, they look awful
do you have to wear a stud when you get an ear pierced, or can you have a ring instead, does anyone know?

i dunno if you can have a ring, i think you might be able to have a tiny one. i know theres lots of different studs you can have though

[Imnotpure]

i think you can have whatever they put in as long as the point that goes through and stays in your ear is about the same as a stud, so you cant start on stretching of course but im sure theyd let you

it has to be real gold or silver and obviously they wont let you have some huge ring in it

[Imnotpure]

Yeah it has to be real of course they wouldnt be liscensed to pierce otherwise, theyd let you have a realistic size ring in it and its probably the part that goes through and stays in your ear that matters most.

I'm also kinda worried it wouldn't suit me.

You can have rings but they tend to be heavier and obviously are more likely to catch on things so it's not recommended. As for the starter I never had one, if you get the proper piercing bars like a real parlour should use (rather than the miniscule butterfly-backed type things that you'd get from a piercing gun somewhere like Claire's Accessories) then they're usually fine and look better.
If you're having it stretched then assuming there is somewhere decent near you, you can get it pierced and stretched in one go up to a certain size. Could get it scalpelled too if you aren't wanting it absolutely massive, I know it sounds bad but apparently it's actually less painful than stretching.
