How does every one feel on children and toddlers having their ears pierced?

Hi

I have lots of Nans and aunties asking when my 2 yr old daughter will get her ears pierced - but I'm putting it off - she's a nighmare with pulling her hairbands and clips out I hate to think what she'd do with earings!

Thanks i would like my daughter whos just gone 2 to have hers done but im dont think i could put her thru it i no its not that bad as iv had mine 4 times but is it crule? Also as im young i dont want to look chavy or immature x x

i think if the child is asking for them to be done then get them done but if not then dont.

i got mine done when i was 4 as i was asking nonestop for a year and it was only coz i was asking for so long that my mum gave in and let me (she always teases me by saying that ears pierced were my 1st words)

When I was a kid I started asking around 5 but mum kept saying if I still wanted them when I was 7 I could. I got them the day I turned 7 lol.

Thanks all i think i was bout 10 but i dont think il get graces done untill she can make the decison herself its not fair otherwise! X x

My mum got mine done when I was 5.

When I was 9 at school I pushed one of the butterfly backs so hard it connected with the back of the stud. I had to go to the drs to get it removed. I've always had problems with that ear ever since and it is slightly bigger that the other one as well.

So personally I dont think id let dd get them done until she is old enough to look after them properly herself!

i personally dont like seeing very younge children with their ears peirced (im not meaning to offend anyone,just my opinion)
if my daughter wants hers done when she is older than6/7 then i would let her. i have mine done and i have tatoos so i dont think i could say no,lol
