My father has keloid skin, so there's a chance i might have it. i got a tattoo and haven't experienced any keloids. can i get my ears pierced also?

Skin: I am a keloid former too. I understand you have had a tattoo and did not form keloid. Have you had a cut? Tattoos do not break the skin layer and keloid develops from "proud flesh" that develops from exuberant wound healing.
