@NConly Well, yes, exactly. And in some families it you just do it at a certain age. As Willa just said: These days the stores here that pierce are inspected regularly and precautions are taken to avoid spread of disease and infection.  It is done as a surgical procedure and those who do it are well trained. (Not like the hit and miss efforts of years ago.)

@NConly I think men in the military remove earrings on parade in uniform. Women in the military on parade wear one stud each side; and the small stud even differs according to her rank in the military.

This would be one of those subjects I am ignorant about. I know nothing about military parades or code for them. I was never required to be in one or as I remember not required attending.

I was in the USAF too.   Did anyone tell that inapporate joke to those going in to be shot?  It is best we do not publish that joke.

I do not remember a joke in particular so Im not sure. Was is SAC crash crew flight line.

We got shots regular as we were required to be ready for deployment right away. I remember having to get black plague shot arm sore two/three days in case we were sent to Africa If my memory serves me correctly. Our duffle bag was emptied and inspected once a month, same with our rooms.

I guess needles and shots are part of life.

"Even the boys have their ears pierced nowadays

..My tattoo means a lot to me.

A reminder of once I was lost but now I'm found.

Praise God."

Some would say, sooner or later, part of life.

Hi @Willa Thanks.

Yes, it's just wise to take young ppl when the time comes for them to be interested to have them to one of the professional establishments - which now abound - in order for the well trained lady to put them through swiftly in a sanitized environment.

Today it can be done so easily and swiftly.

(A bit different from 50, 60, 70 years ago. Advice would in theory apply now equally - as to daughters and granddaughters - so also to sons and grandsons, if they happen to want it. They might not realize now how complicated it could become, years ago, like you said.)
