alchresearch Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'd say 16, simply because kids aren't allowed to wear ear piercings in school yet they do so to defy the teachers and cause trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Any age under double figures is too young. Probably around 13 or 14 is ok, as most girls are on the edge of being adults then. I saw a baby boy with a 'diamond' type stud the other day. Poor little mite. What the heck does a mother think of to give a baby a pierced ear. Babies should be having toys, not fashion accessories.

roxybalboa Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 It's not the worse thing in the world, as the ears will heal. Why though, would you want to pierce a kids ear so young? It's not like the kid wants it when they are still a baby. Just my opinion btw. I'm not judging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothic_Angel Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I don't think there's a minimum age. Being a big fan of piercings I don't recoil in horror at young children having piercings, although I don't think I personally would get a baby pierced. But that's probably more to do with me being a tightwad I'd have to be nagged into parting with the cash! I wouldn't have it done with a gun though, so it would probably have to wait till my (potential future) daughter was well into her teens as I'm not sure if they accept young children at piercing studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple.sarah Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'd say under 10 is too young and 12+ is better. They need to make an informed decision and take care of them and it's only fair if they're prepared for the pain. It's ridiculous when people get their babies ears pierced, it's obviously for the parent not the kid and looks tacky, a baby doesn't need bling!

vwkittie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Babies and toddlers with piercings is gross. Why any parent would want to take their baby and allow someone to mutilate them because they think it looks good is beyond me. Agree with Gothic_Angel I wouldn't take a child to some nasty place where they use a gun in the window, yuk yuk! I've never had a gun piercing thank god! I reckon about 10-12 minimum age seems sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kthebean Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I dont have a moral problem with children having their ears pierced but I think childern shouldnt be encouraged to be bothered about how they look (beyond being clean and tidy) when they are pre-pubescent.

Conrod Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 16 for females, no age for males - men should not wear ear rings, unless it is their intention to cross-dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
