I think my mom had mine pierced when I was like 6 weeks? I’m not 100% positive though. But please dont take her to the mall or Walmart to get it done. Go to tattoo shop that does piercings. They dont use guns since guns cant be 100% sterilized.

Depends where you go and where your from. In Ontario Canada at least if you go to Claire’s or somewhere that uses piercing guns they need to be 3 months and have proof of vaccines. If you go to a reputable shop it’s 8 years old.

I used to do ear piercing for children…the training manuals said they can be done at any point as early as you want, but it’s recommended you wait until they have their first dtap shot, whi h is usually by 3 months old

Honestly it’s best to wait. You should look into finding a pediatrician or a clean reputable tattoo parlor to take her to.

I beg of you to find a reputable tattoo parlor to do her piercings. Piercings guns used at walmart, claires, drs office, etc are so damaging to the tissues. And those people are not licensed and scarcely trained to pierce.

Find someone who will do it WITHOUT A GUN! A piercing gun is terrible for ears; it shoves a solid piece of metal through and pushes everything in the ear aside and can really mess things up. Find a reputable piercer who uses a hollow needle for piercing. The hollow needle takes a small chunk out of the ear to actually make room for the piercing and recovery is soooo much less painful and less likely to close up

Most latinas pierce them by 2 months. In some parts of south America/mexico they pierce them literally at birth. If you keep up with cleaning I think doing it before they’re 2 months is easier than doing it on a toddler they dont mess with them and eont remember the pain. Though I prefer actual piercers over the one in the mall/walmarts

You might have a hard time finding a piercing parlor that will do babies ears. I know mine won’t for a few reasons.
- It’s not an easy job to hold a newborn/infant still enough to get them even.
- They will most likely get infected.
- If the person getting pierced is not old enough to give verbal consent, they will not do it.
But please do not take her to Claire’s or Piercing Pagoda! If you must get them done, take her to a professional with sterile equipment and get real gold or stainless steel jewelry.

Holy shit people. It’s an ear piercing. Not a tattoo. If her child decides later she doesn’t want them in. It’s as easy as taking it out.
Y’all act like it’s abusive to pierce your babies ears. I got my daughters done at 2 months old.
My mom got mine done when I was 4 months old.
Each to their own!!!
Go to at tattoo shop so they don’t use a gun, as long as she has her first shots they wont give you any trouble

Imagine not even having the kid yet and already planning to go against her bodily autonomy and cosmetically alter and hurt her. Let her decided if she even wants earrings first and let her make the decision. Piercing an infants earrings can cause a lot of things, infections, staph, MRSA, lopsided holes as she grows, scar tissue.

Tip: to do it the best way it may be a little difficult because guns aren’t good and can be higher risk for infections… so the absolute best place to go would be a tattoo shop where professionals actually use a needle but then again most shops won’t pierce baby’s ears. So hopefully you can find a shop but I would NOT go somewhere that uses guns!!

I wish I got my daughters done earlier, she wants her ears pierced so bad. She is now almost 8, we went to have it done- they got as far as the first ear and she then screamed so bad we actually got asked to leave the place. Now she’s mad I didn’t do when she was younger because she wants to wear earrings and it hurts to bad to have them pierced.

I wouldn’t recommend it at all until she can verbally say she wants them done. It’s not fair to force her to get them done before she has a say and risk having it get torn or infected. Most places won’t even pierce and infants ears due to such a high risk in infection. Babies are constantly touching things, putting their hands in their mouths, and then proceed to touch their face-pull on their ears-etc. Overall, it’s just a better idea to wait. I have a 3 month old daughter that I would LOVE to see have her ears pierced, but it’s not right for me to take that choice from her plus risk her an infection that there’s no way she could’ve verbally asked for🤷🏻♀️

I hate my mom for piercing mine as a baby, I wish I could have had the experience as a older kid when I wanted to, and went to a actual shop and get even piercings where I want them. Mine from getting them done as a infant, will never close so I can’t just wait and get them redone, which if you get them done as a adult and the piercer messes up, they will close and you can get it done better! I’m so upset about that! So many reasons not to, go buy some bows instead.
