I know, right?! My parents were surprisingly always okay with piercings. They were even okay w/ my tattoo (but that’s another story, ahem). My mom took me to get my cartilage done when I was 12 and let me get 2 more piercing above my lobe-piercing as well. My mom has a 2nd piercing above her lobe as well + her nose. She too wears a tiny stud and it looks GORGEOUS!
