Yes, actually I let all of my boys get their ears pierced at the same time. My boys were 6, 8, and 9 at the time. It's something that isn't permanent so I don't see a problem with it. My eldest even decided it wasn't for him and left his earring out. The hole eventually closed on it's own. Now if your 9 yr old son came home one day wanting a tattoo I wouldn't recommend allowing that one. Good luck on what ever you decide.

I would let my son get his ear pierced, but not when he was only 9 years old. Maybe 14, probably 16.

Honestly, no. My boys are 10 right now, and I do not feel they are mature enough to make such a decision on their own (despite being very mature for their age). I would not allow them to make a decision that the possibility of them regretting later on is very likely. Honestly, I would be more apt to say "yes" at 15 or 16, but not at 9.
Who knows, in five or six years, the trend of earrings on males may become an anti-fad... akin to frilly day-glow-pink shirts on guys or black-tie suits on women. I would be greatly saddened to see my now-teenaged sons lament the fact daily that everyone knows they once had a piercing. Or worse yet, to have them regret it because their girlfriend doesn't like it. Or even worse... because they no longer like it.
However, I am a Christian woman (with many piercings of my own), and am often considered overly conservative (lol. the irony). My boys' younger cousin (who is 8 or 9) has had his ear pierced for a few years now (however, his mom is a good five years younger than me, and is far more liberal in her kids' freedom than I am with mine).

do you think that children should be pierced? If u do and ur son wants an earing, go ahead - its not major surgery. If you dont like pierced ears on younger children then stick by your own principles because that is your right as a parent.

That's a very debatable question. Alot of parents get their daughter's ears pierced when their daughters are babies or young toddlers but feel differently when it comes to their son's getting an ear pierced. What's up with that?

Off course not... he probably just wants to pierce his ears because he saw his friend or someone else with their ears pierce and is trying to follow on what they are doing. This will mean that he will be easy to take advantage off and will do anything to become part of the "crowd". That could be his reward later on during school time if he does good in school.. if you get what i mean.

Absolutely not I would not even let my son get his ears pierced if he was 99. Jewelry is for woman, and it looks beautiful on most of them. I would wonder if he would have a problem with his sexual preferences..I guess I am a bit too masculine, but it is my view

NO, give him something to rebel about later! Probably stop him doing something worse. If you let 'em do everything when they want, they just push for more and more until there's nothing left but drugs and sex. Probably only drugs, because they're not going to ask for permission to be sexual! Kids nowadays don't have carefree "childhood" any more. They are miniature adults by the age of 12. (Not that they are truly ADULT, they just look as though they are.) I think we should bring back childhood. Most of the image stuff is just marketing anyway. If there wasn't money to be made, most of the things they "want" just wouldn't be around.

No I dont think you should, because at that age they are running around and playing various games where it would be easy for the earring to get caught and ripped out of his ear. Also at school you will probably find he will have to put tape on his ear during p.e. to stop any accidents

gangsta, LMAO. Stereotyping?
I'd definitely talk with him about it and get an understanding of why he wanted it. I certainly want him to develop his own style and a sense of who he is and who he wants to be. And if his reasons are for himself and no one else. I'd do it myself, I have a piercing gun. Thus way I know its done safely and sterile.
All my boyfriends and husbands have all had their ear pierced and non of them were gangstas, though some were hoodlums, most were really good guys and have all grown to become responsible adults who may even still wear an ear ring.
