I did so something absolutely spontaneous today though:
I'm 21 years old and never had my ears pierced. My parents never got me or my sisters's ear's pierced because they wanted it to be our decision when we were old enough (18). Ironically, Jamaal was the one that suggested I get it done, as we were passing by Claire's Boutique. Every other time I had mentioned it, he said he wouldn't like it. But he had a change of heart, and I was still unsure if I really wanted to get it done, since it's kinda superficial. . .but then so many things are.
Another plus is that I pierced my ears before my sister Nicole, who turns 18 tomorrow and had been counting the days until she could get it done. She wanted me to get mine done with her, but I wasn't completely sure I would do it. I wasn't willing to go through discomfort and potential health risks of the procedure (it didn't hurt at all).
When I got home I did't say anything about my ears, and just waited for her to notice. The look on her face was golden. That alone made the whole thing worth it.
