My youngest was the most adamant about piercing. I ended up using it as an incentive for potty training since she was constantly asking from about age 2. Shes now 10 and just got her second set done in Oct. She is now asking for a third and cartridge but not old enough even with my permission. But i will take her when she is if she still wants it. My oldest (13) has none and I’ve never tried to force it. I feel that it’s their choice, not mine, so their decision.

I asked our pediatrician 36 years ago about ear piercing. He said let her make the decision. I did so at 6 yrs old I had them done. I am in no way telling you what to do, it’s just another option to consider. Thank you ROBERT VOLLER.

We pierced our daughter’s ears when she was a baby. But we were both on board. Parenting is full of compromises, if you both don’t agree, I would wait. It’s a matter of trust, respect and willingness to not always get your way. Maybe don’t get it done right now but compromise on a later time.

My daugther was like 10 months old.
I heard it’s best to do it before 6 months old or after they turn around 5 years old lol. My daughter had hers done at 5 when she asked for them.
Not my body , not my choice. I will wait until my daughter is old enough to choose herself. She wasn’t born with them, it isn’t my choice to alter her body in any way. Please, if you decide to make that choice for her. DO NOT use a gun!

I’m so glad I have a boy because this bothers me so much. What is the purpose of inflicting intentional pain on your baby girls? For looks? Let your daughters decide what to do with their bodies when they’re old enough to.

My mom pierced my ears as a baby. But I asked my husband what he wanted to do with ours, he said no that he wants to wait when she can decide, and I said okay that’s fine. Whether you pierce them now or not she will still have them at 4 months or at 15 years old.

I wish mine were done as a baby, i always had a hard time losing them and getting them to heal, i had mine done 4 times before they stayed. They can always take them out when they are older if they dont liek them.
I almost had them ripped out of my ears countless times tho (same for my lip piercing)
A HUUUGE issue with mine was caused by the guns tho it should be done with a hallow needle
When in the history has a girl ever grown up wishing she didn’t have pierced ears?! This is literally the most annoying topic I see a lot. Like if you wanna wait, ok. If you wanna pierce at 3 months, ok. Make your choice and stop asking the internet.

I’m on the “let her decide” train, however if and when you do decide to have them done- please don’t go to a place like Claire’s to do them. Either find a pediatrician who does piercing and properly dismantles and sanitizes the piercing gun every time, or go to a reputable tattoo parlor and have them done with a needle. The needle hurts much less than punching a set of earring studs through the ear anyway, but there is MUCH less risk of infection than with the gun because the hoops are easier to clean properly.

My ears were done at 3 months too… My husband made me wait until my girls said they wanted their ears pierced… And they had more issues with them… When they are babies they heal with no issues… And if they don’t want them When they are older…they don’t have to wear them… Good luck…
I’m waiting until my girl starts school taking her to a professional and getting a piercing myself and explaining everything about permanent and care and everything and letting it be up to her after that

3 months… she took them.out at 2… did them again at 5…
My step daughter had hers done at 6 months but she was constantly loosing them n playing with them by the time she was 2, so I waited for My oldest to turn 4 n ask if she could have them pierced like mine n her sisters. She almost 7 now. My middle child is almost 4 n I haven’t done anything with hers I’m gunna do the same n wait for her to show interest or ask n I’ll do the same with my youngest 9 months.
If it’s been a tradition past down I don’t see anything wrong with doing it. I just chose to wait especially after seeing my step daughter struggle with leaving hers alone. Not really a right or wrong answer its ultimately up to u n ur husband when u think is a good age 
When they can decide for themselves. Babies aren’t Christmas trees. They don’t need decorations.

Our children should be allowed to grow into adults with their bodies fully intact and that goes for boys and girls. Should they choose to alter themselves cosmetically as adults then that is their choice

I had my done at 3 months, my daughter’s at 6 months. Traditional for my family. She is now 3 and loves them, doesn’t remember the pain and only cried for seconds when it was done anyways. It’s up to you, don’t let anyone shame you. I’m glad I had mine done young, and a plus I see from it is that they’ve never closed even after years of not wearing earrings.
My daughter will be 4 in may. I won’t have them done until she asks. She said not yet so I will let her come to me when she’s ready. My mom did it with me as well. It’s kinda our family thing to just let the girls grow an choose when they want them if they choose to get them

I am gonna wait with my daughter. Mainly because I want it to be her choice plus family history of allergies. My maternal grandma waited until she was in her 70s/late 60s before she got them pieced with my cousin. My paternal grandma never got hers pieced. My mom never did either. My mom had very sensitive skin so she could never wear much jewelry. I got mine when I was 12 then had a very had allergic reaction. Had to let them heal then got them repierced later.

If i have a girl we will get her ears pierced after her 2 month shots
Most of ours was done after the 3 month shots. They move less than when older and it’s over before they know it.

I just pierced my daughters ears. She just turned two. If I had a choice knowing what I know now. I would have done it sooner knowing how difficult it is to clean her ears now. She usually does really well but if she’s crabby, I can’t go near here ears. But she loves them.
I had my daughters done at 3 months. She cried for maybe a minuet and she never messed with them. She’s 1 & a half now and we have no issues with them or with her pulling at them.

When I was a baby (1 year old I dont remember but I’ve been told the story countless times) the piercing gun got stuck in not only my left but also my right ear and it was extremely painful and a long drawn-out process for me. Not to mention the fact that as your daughter grows the shape of her ears may change and then the piercing may not be even or in the correct spot

Mine were done at 6 months and so were sisters and thats when I had my daughters done
People have way too many opinions about this subject . Older kids seem to make a bigger deal out of it, we did my daughters when she was 2 and didn’t even cry. She was about to and the the lady that pierced them put a sucker in front of her and she was fine. I can only say take her to a professional, that’s my only advice.
I had my 4 yo done at 18 months but wouldn’t keep them on after she turned 2 1/2 so I’m going to wait for my now 2 yo gets older maybe 5 or 6. Or whenever she wants

I’m letting my girls choose because when my mom did that to me at 4 months. We went fishing and my brothers hook got hooked on my earing and he ripped it off. She waited till I healed and pierced them again and I would not wear them. My girls one wants them pierced and the other one doesn’t. I think it should be their choice.

My daughter was 12 . Other girls haven’t asked yet my 8 yr old said next year she wants hers done , they need to be able to care for them and not pull on them can get stick on blankets . I waited when my daughter finally got hers done it got shoved into her ear lobe from sleeping on the one side ! It was horrible . I would go to a tattoo place not a mall place as well ! In the end it’s you and fathers decision
I got mine done as a baby. and if I had a girl I’d do the same. If she didnt want them one day I’d just take them out
