How old do you have to be to get your ears pierced?

In the United States, you have to be 18 years old to get your ears or any other part of your body pierced. You will usually need to provide some type of formal ID. For children under the age of 18, you can get your ears pierced if you have a parent or legal guardian present.

What is my birthstone?

Your birthstone depends on the month you were born. January is the garnet, February is the amethyst, March is the aquamarine or bloodstone, April is the diamond, and May is the emerald. June has three options: pearl, moonstone, or alexandrite. July is the ruby, August is the peridot or spinel, September is the sapphire, October is the opal or tourmaline, and November is the topaz or citrine. December also has three options: turquoise, tanzanite, or zircon.

When can I wear new earrings in my newly pierced ears?

Typically, you can change earrings in your earlobes after six weeks, and you can change the earrings in your cartilage after 12 weeks. However, it's always best to follow the instructions provided by the person who pierced your ears.
