I got my ears pierced when I was little, because my exact reasoning was that I wanted "pretties" in my ears like my mom. She agreed and we got it done at the mall. I don't recall being scared of the pain, the only thing that keeps being told to me was that I was really bothered by the loud noise the gun made after the first piercing. After walking around the mall to get me to calm down, we went back in to get the second one done and I was fine by then.
Though quite some time after getting them pierced I got an ear infection. I only got them re-pierced several years ago because I really wanted to wearing earrings again, heh.
I do want to get a tattoo sometime, but I think the problem for me is that I'm incredibly indecisive about what I want and where it should go. My mind changes all the time and, while piercings can close up, tattoos are permanent (and it's more costly and more painful to get one removed.) So I go back and forth on that idea.
