Assuming you've told them it hurts, told them it's a needle going through their ear, etc etc.

What's the minimum age that you would say yes?

ETA: And why?

You've been here since 2009 and you haven't seen this?

12 is my minimum.

[howdo]

DD1 was 12. DD2 was 10.

I didn't feel like waging a battle with DD2 to make her wait until she was 12. So I didn't.

We allowed our girls to get theirs pierced recently at ages 7 and 8. We researched and found a really good place that only does body piercing and they were very professional. The girls now have the earrings that they have been begging for. They were very brave, no tears at all from our 7 year old and a few from our 8 year old.

I was 8. I think that was a bit young though. I vomited afterwards from the shock of the pain. Maybe 10?

12 is my rule too....

[Harmonica]

7

[feliz6]

for me it would be 10.

No kids of my own yet, but my mother made me wait until I was around 10 or 11 before I was allowed to have mine pierced.
At the time, it seemed terribly unfair that I had to wait so long (started asking when I was about 8 I suppose) but in retrospect it seems about right.

Just looks a bit off on really young girls in my opinion.
