I guess hers was more of a rite of passage than as an addiction...

Not that they will necessarily later get a lot more ink.
But it seems increasingly for so many, it's what young people do, and it's what young women do: at least make sure they have the inking as a rite of passage to adulthood, don't they?
LOL. @Acolyte's son - who she says has several tattoos - was shocked when she had it done as well!They would be shocked
Talk about seemingly avant-garde young people being surprised by the parental generation doing it...
Has she maybe considered having it modified so that it's in a design she now likes better?
Probably the artist thought that you and your daughter were plenty tough enough to endure it, and there was no point even in offering a numbing agent, right?
Assuming it was the same artist that did yours and your daughter's.

I have a full body tat of myself, only taller, more muscular and slimmer. Not sure how an earring would enhance that.
Not into the earring thing for males. To me personally it seems to come with an attitude problem, cockiness, "thug" like stuff. Surely some don't have this, only going by what I've witnessed.

Tattoo artists are not supposed to ink people who have been drinking...

For many young men it's likely that the earring(s) precedes the tattoo.
I guess to some extent it's a matter of family custom. Some mothers seem to think that for a son who is maybe a bit shy ear studs will (supposedly?) help his confidence. (I don't know.)

These days it indeed often increasingly will likely involve a sister: apparently in North America 59% - 70% or more of parlor clients are female; and not an insignificant proportion are in faith based / family / patriotic themes - which often dove tail together (although this certainly does not prove that the wearer is born again).
I saw a quote from the Bible Belt which shows how widespread it has become, anyway.
Some Christians in time regret their tattoos, some do not, some will even add some faith based ink of the variety that is proven effective in conversations. It varies a great deal, doesn't it? but it's certainly very widespread.I have a full body tat of myself, only taller, more muscular and slimmer. Not sure how an earring would enhance that.

It's not only a man thing to do, as it used to be very much; it's also become a very womanly thing to do; I expect not all your friends who have had it done are men.
Maybe there are so many aspects of the subject; and this will inevitably be reflected in the (developing) views that ppl will have?
Meanwhile, many Christians, probably from a pragmatic point of view, know they are effective conversation-starters in witness and so this is substantially why they get Bible verses, etc. inked in, do you think, in all probability?
My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also; and I'm sure other conversations have also arisen as a result of her willingness to receive the needle inking.

Well if I can recall who he or she was I tell him lol .
Whole story is I had at that time wanted one and designed it .
The funny thing is the last thing I remember the day I got it ,I was popping open a cold one (insert blackout here) . The next thing I remember it is morning I was shaving and something in the reflection was different lol . So possibly some bias here . I understand my reason was for getting one is not the same as what motivates others. So I tend to let it go. Unless it’s my daughter then she gets a earful lol .
