What age would you consider piercing your child?

Different ages for different piercings.

Earlobes -whenever they want. Facial, cartilage, and belly button - between 14 and 16. Nipples and genitals - not until they’re 18.

Oh and any other piercings, they can get when they’re 18.

I would wait till they asked, be it boy or girl. I figure when they are old enough to ask then we’d discuss it. I would not get it down before they asked, I don’t think I’d have the right. I may be the parent but its not my body to be putting holes in.

I would LOVE to get my future girl’s ears pierced when she is a baby, but it’s too dangerous in my opinion. She could easily rip them out, especially when she was a few years older and played a lot. I got my ears pierced when I was 9. I would wait around 10 to get my daughter’s ears pierced. Any other piercing, I would allow it at 14, possibly. Depending what the piercing is.

For ear piercings, id probably get my babys ears pierced, but a facial piercing is different. i got my first facial piercing at 13, but for my own child i would wait untill at least 16.

Everybody is different but I’d let them get ear(s) done whenever they ask, and wait until they are 13 before I even consider anything else. I’m not too keen on boys with piercings. But girls- I’d let her get bellybutton or nose when she’s 13 because I did so I would be kind of hypocritical if I didn’t let her. But I’d make her pay for it with her own money and pay for any creams etc.

i would never consider sticking a piece of metal into a child cus i think its ugly…

up till their 16 they do as i say

Its not too dangerous, you just have to keep it clean, A child doesnt know what it is and on a few days their vision is still blured it takes 3 -4 weeks to heal the wound. The baby is still tiny then and wont know anything about it nor rip it out

My sister got her ears pierced when she was smal, I never liked it I was afraid of the gun and postponed it until I was 10 years old when I discovered it didnt hurt as much I just got another and here I am 8 piercings later :D

I personally think its okay piercing your ears as a baby because it doesnt hurt them as much and being 3-4 weeks old they dont fidgit with the piercing, all a baby does is sleep. When you keep it clean it should be fine.

Boys should not get piercings as babies, or piercings (such as nose, brow and lips) until they now what it is about. I was 13 when I got my bellyring and 15 when I got my Cartlidge.

Remember if they don’t like the piercings when they are old enough to realize what is actually is they can even take it out..

when my little girl is a baby i will get her ears pierced.

I would consider piercing a girl’s ears at 6 months, I’ve always thought it looked so cute, but that’s only a consideration, I’m not exactly sure if I would pull through with it.. But I agree with Patricia, however, if it was an outrageous piercing that my child wanted, I would tell them to wait until they are old enough to do it, and pay for it on their own.

For ears, as Patricia Cartwright said, it would be when they asked. We’d discuss it, make sure they really want it. As for everything else: “When you can pay for your own piercings, you can pay for everything else too.” College, living expenses, food included. It gives them time to really think about it and whether they want to live with the decision for the rest of their lives. By that time, when they’re taking care of their entire lives themselves, it really is their own decision. I’ll gladly support whatever they choose to do. Usually.

But it’s still fragile once it’s healed though. My older sister got hers pierced when she was 3 months old, and she knocked it all the time, and eventually it got so bad she had them taken out and only re-pierced them when she was 13. It’s not the same for all babies although I see where you’re coming from

i got piereced at 3 and im happy they did it and i dont rember it

16, i think then they will be mature enough to make the decision. I think younger teens go through stages of wanting piercings that they will usually end up taking out- ive seen a lot of people go through that stage.

Also i would wait until my chil was atleast 8 until i let then have there lobes pierced. I have to say im discusted with people who say they would get their babies easrs done. The baby doesn’t understand whats going on, all it feels is pain.

It’s a child not a fashion accesory!!
