My baby girl is now 14, and I was literrally nagged by others asking when I was going to pierce her ears. I was like...go to hell...I'm not doing that to her...she can decide for herself when she is older. She is now 14 and so far she is glad I didn't pierce her ears. She actually told me that she doesn't like the ideas of piercings. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. | |

I don't know about that.
I'm black, and pretty much everyone I know (barring my younger sister), didn't get their ears pierced until they were older, myself included (I think I was actually 20 or 21 when I finally got them pierced). "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

My daughter is 11 and she is going to have her ears pierced around her 12 birthday the peer pressure thing is tricky and not just with pierced ears!!!
I think the bottom line with anything like this is first kids of 5,6,7 whatever can't actually make the decision it has to be the parent/carer. However what the right age is for this I have absolutely no idea What you don't remember never happened | |

I don't know if this is race specific, but practically everyone of my background got them pierced when they weren't old enough to remember including myself. When I encountered kids in elementary school or in pop culture that weren't allowed to do it, I really didn't understand why. Maybe it's more accepted to do it at a young age in countries outside the western world and that's why it happens. | |

I have no idea if they will do it now, but they did some forty plus years ago, for me. | |
