Nope never did pierce mine. about a year ago when I had a haircut I had made appt to pierce them but chickened out at the last minute. I saw my step mother have lots of problems with hers and don't want to chance it. at age 74 why should I change now? once in awhile I do wear clip on ones.
My first job was a receptionist at a small company. My boss had begun medical school until he ran out of money for school. I began getting cysts in my left ear as I was on the phone often. He told me get rid of the earrings and I would then get rid of the cysts. Yup he was right!
