what is a good age to get my babys ears peirced?

Question

I dont know when too. My seven year old wants to get a THIRD peircing like me and no we arent freaks we are actually quite wealthy

Answer 1

sixteen. that way she's old enough to actually know what she's doing.

Answer 2

Im not sure that your wealth status has anything to do with the issue but if your daughter is 7 and has 2 piercings in each ear I would say thats enough for now - however your the best judge how did she go looking after the initial 2 piercings? Did she look after them, leave them alone and let them heal properly? If so then there may not be a problem - consider also that her school may not like too many piercings. I have several piercings - 1 in each ear, labret, nose and have had my navel pierced but this grew out and I also have tattoos (that I dont regret) I have a 4 year old she has started showing interest in my piercings and I have said she can have her ears pierced when she is 12 as I think she will then have an understanding of the pain involved and that she has to look after them and so far she accepts this age as ok to wait for but then she is only 4 at the moment - I dont think in the end I could deny her these things as I have them and I think they are acceptable for me so I can hardly tell her they are not acceptable.

In the end I would check with the school that they have no problem with this sort of thing and then consider how well your daughter can look after them and if all is ok and your happy with it then let her have them done.

Answer 3

I got my first ear piercing when I was 3 months old. I never remember the experience of pain of a piercing.Make sure that it is clear to your daughter that piercing are permanent. When ever you feel that she is mature enough to accept that and be ok with it and its consequences. That age is the right age. There are some immature 16 year-olds out there and some very mature 14 -year-olds. You are the mother you know your daughter.

Answer 4

Don't pierce your baby. Wait until the little one can decide for himself or herself. Do you just want to have that done to show off your wealth?
As for your seven year old, I think he or she should wait another seven years (or more) before continuing. Then tell him or her that you won't pay for the piercing. He or she will have to pay from the pocket money and so will have to make a real decision, whether a piercing is worth that money or not (even if the family is quite wealty).

Answer 5

Were I you, which I am not(so you can feel free to disregard this), I would wait until my youngest is at least three years old. And for my oldest, I'd wait until she was at least twelve for the third ear piercing. Otherwise, people at school might ask a lot of questions and not in a good way either!!

Answer 6

1.) What makes you think that just because people are wealthy it automatically means they aren't freaks?

2.) If your seven year old is your "baby," then it's between you and her. If you mean a "baby" besides your seven year old, then I'd wait until she's old enough to ask.

Answer 7

I would go ahead and get your baby's ears done so that she wont remember the pain, not that there's much. But you know... It will be easier while she's young to take care of them properly until they heal. As for your seven year old, that is up to you as the parent to monitor how many piercings she gets as well as when. Hope this helps!

Answer 8

I think 1 or 2 thats when i got my ears peirced

Answer 9

Personally I dont believe in piercing, it is repulsive and pointless.
However, to answer your question, you should not go and just pierce your babies ear, wait until they are like 12-13 when they actually can make decisions for them selfs, who knows they might not even want the piercing yet you forced them to have one. If you want your child to wear earrings use magnetic.

Answer 10

Legally, this is positive so you might do it at 6 months, yet i think of you ought to evaluate what her techniques could be. 6 months previous is basically too youthful for her to kind her very own comments. If I have been you, i could wait some years till she is old adequate to return to a determination for herself despite if she needs her ears pierced. this is her little physique, in spite of everything.

Answer 11

Ask yourself this, first: "Why do I even bother doing it at all?" Seriously, the only reason I can think of is peer pressure.
Piercing is not only painful, it can be very dangerous. There was a case up here in Canada where a girl's belly button piercing caused her to become very, very sick.
