Okay, this is becoming a little melodramatic; people are beginning to talk about an ear piercing as controversial for crying out loud! If you do think of a piece of jewelry that you can't see from 5 feet away as rebellious or even as a desecration, and Rorancrystalwolf doesn't, does he really need to be debated into thinking that? Even when it's not a debate?
Getting to the piercing itself: if you get your ear professionally pierced, and take care of it, it's an awfully small chance of getting an infection (by taking care, I mean cleaning it 2-3 times a day for 4 months!). If you're getting an ear piercing through the lobe, you're piercing the safest place on your face from a hazardous infection. Almost all infections there just need a spritz of ointment for a couple of weeks that'll probably set you back somewhere in the double digits, NOT an operation that puts your parents permanently on food stamps.
.
And back to your first question about parents: If you're not a super child with a 4.0 GPA and a scholarship to UCLA at 15, they'll be censoring you until you finish high-school, believe it!
