Its your choice I mean. If you want earings go for it ! The pain only lasts while your ears are being pierced. (So I've heard) .
I personally don't have my eats pierced . for two reasons
Buy you do you ! . I think if you really want earings go for it !
it is not really a needle it is more of a pinch i have my second and third pircing and it is not so bad they are cool but is you do not want to do it do not feel pressured by your friends get it only if you want to and if your parents say it is okay
