Both of my sons had them for about a month or so and gave them up. The younger son's ear lobe got infected -- scared the crap out of him.

I got my ears pierced at 17(13 years ago). I was just about to start college and get out of high school. Many of my peers did it and there was not many situations we could not wear them. Now as I am older, have a job, officiting responsiblity, there is not much time to wear them. Do not get me wrong, I would wear them if I could or when I could. I officiate so much and year round, it became a pain in the a$$ to keep taking them out. And I never wanted to buy expensive earrings because of the possiblity of being stolen.

Peace
