I’m Mexican, it’s a tradition to do them at birth (I was 2 weeks). My bf on the other hand (we have 3 girls) wanted to wait until they can ask for them on their own. So that’s what we’ve done so far

I decided to wait until my daughter was ready for them. She is 8 years old and she hasn’t asked for pierced ears yet. She does wear clip ons every so often.

My daughter was six months old she’s now 3 we’ve never had any issues and she loves her earrings
Honestly, it depends on where you go. I prefer to go to an actual body piercer who uses needles than using a gun. With that being said, different body piercers will have different ages they’re comfortable doing. It’s also your decision on at what age you should do them. Whatever makes you feel the most comfortable

Both my girls ears were pierced after their 6 months shots. Once they figure out how to use their hands they will pull and play with them. I would just wait now until they are old enough to understand not to play or pull on them.
I told everyone that I wanted to wait till she was 1, then I changed my mind and said when she is 2. By the time the time she was almost 3 and I was 6 months pregnant with my son she, her dad and grandmother told me it was time. So we did it then. I wasn’t ready for it even though she was!! I personally think you should do it when you feel comfortable with it
I’m going to wait until my daughter can make that decision

When she can ask you would be the best choice in my opinion
My thoughts are the younger the better. I is easy and they forget the pain quickly. I was 3 when I had my ears pierced. I remember slightly that it was uncomfortable but never bothered me after that.
Whenever they’re old enough to want it themselves and be able to take care of it themselves
Everyone will have different opinions on this so do what you think is best for your child. I’m personally waiting until my girls are old enough to ask for it and understand that it will need to be taken care of/cleaned.

I waited till my daughter was old enough to want it and made it a speedball girls day.
My daughter’s are 6 and almost 5 and neither of them have seriously asked for them. When they know what it means to have it done and understands what is involved and that they will have to keep them clean and take care of them then I will get it done.

I personally do think it’s best to wait for them to ask for it. My whole life I dreamt of having a baby girl, and I couldn’t wait to get her ears pierced, but I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do until she wanted them as well. She is 5 now and recently asked to get her pierced and we did it!! I mean when you do them when they are younger you are truly only doing it for other ppl, and that just doesn’t sit right with me. Again just my own opinion!!! Whatever you decide will be okay

When she is old enough to ask for it and understand what she’s asking for. Then you should take her to an actual piercer and not someone who is using a piercing gun at a mall kiosk. Good luck!
Got my girls done at 4 months when they were able to after vaccines. I’d just say, if you think she may pull them, maybe waiting is the best option. I did my girls young so they wouldn’t pull on or mess with them. My girls are now 18 months. They know they’re there but they don’t mess with them at all.
When she actually wants it done and can be the one responsible for most of the care.
Got my daughters pierced at a doctors office in Peru at 3 months while I was there adopting her.
My mom did mine when I was a baby and I’ll probably do the same when I have a little girl
My girls all got them done at different ages oldest at 6 , middle 5 and youngest 4
I got my daughter’s done that young she is now 4 and no longer has them she pulled them out every chance she got so I finally just took them out for good every baby is different though

I waited until they were old enough to make a conscious decision about it and ask for it. My daughter had just turned 7 and she was asking for them for a few months and understood that she needs to clean them and care for them

Waited for my daughter to ask for them. We went in once and she decided she wasn’t ready.
So we left. She decided to get them done this past April. She’s taken great care of them. She’s 6
I would say do it when she wants it done not before but that is only my thoughts

Best time is to do it before they start playing with their ears. I would do it now, or wait until she’s older. I did my daughters at 3 months, easy to clean, she didn’t pull on them.

Mine were done when I was a baby and never bothered by the fact. But nowadays I think I’d wait until they can ask for it. I admit though it does look cute.
I let my daughters decide. My oldest was 5/6 when she wanted them and my second daughter is 8 and still doesn’t want them.
I wanted to do my daughters as a baby and no one would do them. At 2 she asked about it and I was going to take her and then she changed her mind. At 3 she has no interest. So I’d say when they are old enough to ask and are dead set on it. I got mine done when I was 7.
I let my daughter choose. In December at 6 years old she asked me if she can get them pierced.

My parents waited until I was old enough to want them myself. I never did as a kid because I was terrified of getting it done, so they never forced me, nor did they push it either. I got it when I was ready to get it, plus I could look after it myself.
That’s the way I’ll do it for my kids too.
Don’t ask haha because people will give you so much judgment, I waited until she asked but friends did it as babies, whatever you feel comfortable with momma

I had my daughter’s done at 6 months!
Whatever you decide, please take them to a professional and not a Claire’s type situation where they use a gun😫
I waited til my girls were old enough to make that choice.
I got my daughter’s done after her 3 month vaccines. For any future daughters, I’ll do the same 
Oh the judgement you’ll get on this one 
…but I got my baby girl’s done when she was 4/5 months old?..btw ignore the ones “wait for them to decide, why inflict pain for the innocent” and every other negative judgement. Do what you feels right:kiss:

You shouldn’t. Let her make that choice about her own body when she understands it. Doing it now is 100% for YOU.

When they are old enough to want and ask for it to be done .
Do not go to clairs for it or what ever it’s called .go to a professional shop
I did 1 of my daughter’s at 3 had lots of problems w her messing w them and got infected alot. Then did my other daughter’s at 6 weeks after her 1 round of shots and never had a issue it’s always just been a part of her. I’m more in favor for under 6months but that’s just my opinion good luck

When they decide. But everyone thinks different 
My mom made me wait til I was 13 cus it’s “a grown up thing to do”. I was terrified and so it hurt way more because of that and I screamed and cried. I wish she would’ve done it when I was baby and I didn’t remember any of it lol.

Most reputable places will not do it at the age. Nor should it be done with a gun. Around me the child has to be able to give consent. And it should be their choice.

When she is old enough to ask for and understand what is happening to her is a perfect age to have them done.

When she asks for it herself. Enough girls that dont want earrings and hate the pierced ears they have!
I think it’s best to wait when she’s old enough to tell you if she wants her ears pierced. Whenever you decide to do it do not take her to a mall kiosk or Claire’s. Go to a professional piercer who will use a sharp needle. Claires and most mall kiosks use a gun that forces the blunt end of the earring into the lobe and will increase pain and healing.
When she can consent is my personal opinion.
I asked when I was around 4 or 5 and went to a professional that didn’t use a piercing gun… It didn’t traumatized me or effect me in a negative way. It wasnt painful (any pain is found in using a piercing gun that’s why people say it’s hurts children).
I got mine done at the mall when I was 4 or 5, old enough to not swallow them and old enough to want them done and be able to clean them. It hurt really bad for days and they messed them up so I highly recommend taking your daughter to a tattoo/professional piercing place. They say it’s nearly painless and they’ll get it done right versus the unsanitary mall piercing guns. My hole on one ear doesn’t line up where the earring goes out the back so it’s difficult getting earrings in, a professional piercing place wouldn’t make that mistake.
Best time is when they can decide… ive heard doing it before they understand can cause trust issues/ptsd later in life…as they have no idea why theyre being peirced w a needle through their ears…twice. but to each their own
I think to put a baby through excruciating pain at that age so the can “look pretty” is pretty shallow personally. N also risk of infection…cleaning them
…them pulling on them
.could rip them out etc.

She was 5 years old when she asked for them to be done. I really don’t agree with baby ear piercings but that’s my opinion. You should have a right to choose and voice if you want them doing.

It should be up to the child.
I waited til my daughter was old enough to decide for herself and then I had to wait for money. She is 15 and just got them done like a month ago. We went to a tattoo piercing place.
I didn’t get mine done until i was 13 honestly Super glad I waited did it
For my birthday I never wear earrings haha so much so I’m pretty sure they are closed lol my daughters dad did hers when she was visiting at 5 !! Came home with her ears pierced and infected I’m allergic to everything except pure stainless and gold well turns out so is she they were admit about not taking them out I was furious and took them out she’s ok not but when she goes to re do later on in life it’s going to be harder and hurt more now that she has scar tissue 
When the child is old enough to ask for their ears pierced themselves - but also old enough to fully comprehend what it all entails
One of the most important lessons we can pass on to our children is body autonomy and a setting boundaries
My daughters pediatrician did hers
When she’s old enough to decide on her own
Begore twp months. Their ears are tender and they won’t remember the pain. A good boobie or bottle or pacie will calm the down.
When she tells you she wants them…
When they ask and can care for thrm
Wait till she decides to get them done
When she’s old enough to ask for it and consent to it being done.

I don’t pierce ears until they ask for it. For one I don’t want to clean it and two it’s her ears not mine
Both my girls were 9 months when they got it done and they didnt touch them or anything
Whenever they’re old enough to ask and to take car of it. Even getting mine done at 8, my ears grew slightly differently so they’re crooked. And get it done by a piercer. The piercing- guns can’t truly be sterili.

If they choose they want to when they’re old enough to decide.
Wait till she’s Old enough to ask and understand what it means about body piercing. Fkn hate it when ppl pierce their babies ears, sticking unneccassary holes in a bairns ears just to look fashionable, why don’t u get them tattooed up while your at it then go the whole hog n get them some Turkey teeth 
I waited until my girls were like 5 or 6 and decided they wanted them done. Then we made it a whole girls day.
When they are old enough to want it. Don’t do it without there permission it’s their body.
When the child can speak for herself and ask. Why do it for you?
Whenever they ask lol I never really understood the whole point, tbh. My oldest wanted hers done so we did, but my youngest doesn’t even like earrings so I’m glad I didn’t put her through the pain for nothing.
I’m 29 and my ears are pierced and I have never worn earrings. Still got the stupid holes tho
When they are old enough to want it done for them selves?!
When she is old enough to ask for them. Not all little girls want their ears piecered when they are older. So let them have thar decision themselves.
When u spoke to my pediatrician i was told anybtimw after 6 months due to shots etc. Take her to a local piercer. Do not have it done with a gun. Make sure they use piercing needles and high quality jewelery
Oh lort. You came to the wrong page for that lol
Your gonna get 1000 different answers. Do it when you want.
If you buy Emla cream from the pharmacy and apply a few times from an hour before they don’t feel it. Did mine ag 1.5 years and no tears
When they ask. Take them to a professional piercer. Don’t let uneducated and unlicensed people shove a dull earring through your kids ear with a gun.
It’s whatever makes you comfortable. Traditionally most Hispanics get the babies ears pierced when they are a few weeks old. In the Dominican Republic most pediatricians do it shortly after the baby is born. I waited for my daughter to ask. First time she mentioned it I said ok whenever you are ready. It wasn’t until the third time she asked that she told me she for real wanted them pierced. She got them pierced 3 months shy of her 5th birthday. I took her to a tattoo parlor my preference for her was to get it done with the needle and not the gun.
When she’s old enough to decide if she wants them pierced !
Wait until they ask you to get there ears pierced and explain to them what happens if they change their minds because of the thought of getting needles in their ears then wait until they are ready . Don’t put fancy jewelry into a babies ears because you want the to have earrings . Babies are cute without all that .
Get them done when the child can express they want them done and for the love of God plz GO TO A REAL PIERCER DO NOT let them use a piercing gun

I was told buy the person who pierced my ears that most piercers will tell u to wait until they can decide on there own because then its the childs choice and not the parents telling them they want it
I have asked my almost 6 year old many times if she wants them done when she turns 6 she tells me no every time
And they do want them dont do not use a gun they cause more damage to the ear and inflicts more pain go to a piercing shop and get it done professionally with a needle
NINE MONTHS?! Fuck that. Not until they can tell you they want their ears pierced. Jesus Christ
In my family, you have to learn your multiplication tables before you can get your ears pierced. That’s about 3rd/4th grade, when you can take care of them yourself. It’s also a huge motivator to learn your multiplication tables.
