| 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. |

| I've been having this debate whether or not it would be better to pierce Arianna's ears now so that I can take care of them while they heal and she won't remember the pain...or to wait until she is older. I've talked to a few girls (8-10 year olds) who wish their parents did it while they were babies. I was 5 and I don't remember much about getting it done. I also think it would be fun to do a mother and daughter thing when she is old enough to decide... what are your thoughts?
BABY #2 ALREADY?? HOLY CRAP!!!!  A Child - not until you hold one on your lap do you realize your entire world can fit into your arms

I wanted to do it with Molli when she was a baby, but her dad wouldnt let me, he said he wanted her to ask for it. We just did it a few months ago (she is 5 now) and while she cried a little when she got it done, they are fine now. Actually, she takes care of them herself...turning them and such.
I also wanted to get Tessas done early, but Jim said no...I watched a baby get her ears done in the mall one day, and I had to leave the area because it was so heartbreaking to hear the screams

| 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.

| My Mom had my ears pierced when I was really little, maybe 2. I have never disliked it even though I don't wear earrings too often. I have always thought that girls and earrings went hand in hand. However, DH and I have decided that should our LO be a girl, we are going to allow her to approach us and ask.

My Mom got my ears pierced when I was a little baby and since I don't remember anything lol it must have gone well! When they are little, they won't remember the pain and the ear lob is much thinner so I'd think it would be less pain....To each their own!
