I was 12 when I got my ears pinned in June 2014 and it was sooooo worth it.
I had to wear a bandage for 2 weeks (couldn't wash my air either) and had
to redress them every day.They were swollen for about a month and a half
and they still are sensitive but let me tell you it was so worth it. If you
really want to then go for it. Good luck! ;)
