| Sure, infants are great...it looks cute, and they won't touch it, so cleaning will be easier! |

No way, it looks horrible and tacky on babies. It is only in the best interest of the parents to do it...they aren't your fashion accesories. |

I'd wait until they are older so that they could decide. |

We won't be getting Sophies ears pierced. If she wants them when shes older, we will take her then. But we're not going to decide that for her.

I think this is adorable on little girls, but think I would ultimately wait (probably because DH would make me!). I had mine at about age 6, and was SO excited! I do have a comment to make though! Please DO NOT take your kids to get their ears pierced with guns at little mall shops. I know it may feel weird, but take them to a good, reputable piercing studio. EVerything at a professional studio is clean and incredbly sterile. Piercing guns are disgusting, and since they are made of plastic, they can not be properly sterlized! Moreover, the healing process is WAY longer with gun piercings. The gun SLAMS the skin together creating tissue damage, which really extends the healing process and is way more initially painful! Studios use appropriately sized needles which slide easily through, creating a nice, clean, easy to take for percing! I have seen little girls at professional studios, and they have a great time! Every city should have at least a few wonderful body art studios to go to. I seriously have never thought of that before! That's great - I strive to educate! There are seriously no benefits to using the gun, besides the fact that it's cheaper! Your story about the guns jaming just helps to cinch my point!

I'd wait. It's something for her to look forward to as she grows up. It's almost a rite of passage I remember being thrilled and I was aobut 10 years old. I still wear earrings EVERY day!

| My mom had mine done when I was a couple months old... I hardly ever wear earrings now, but the holes never closed, so I CAN when I want to. I'll be doing the same for my daughters, should I have some.

I would wait until they are older and asking for it to get done. I remember asking my parents and going to get my ears pierced and when I did, feeling like such a big girl.

T & M MrsM, you did nothing wrong and posters should be reminded that you have feelings too.
