I'm Currently Feeling: | I don't like them on babies and young children either. I just can't see the point of having it done.
Maybe they wouldn't remember the pain of having them done, but people don't need their ears pierced. In that sense, it's nothing like having an injection which you do need. Part of making the decision to have them done when you are older is accepting that you are making a permanent change to your body and that pain is part of that decision for you to make and no-one else. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Dior has little pink dimond studs she got them done when she was 10 months old. i really like them she has always been bold so now people no she is a girl lol Dior is very girly and loves girly things (like her mummy) so i recon she will thank me for piercing them
and i think they look real cute, but i would of course. i dont think i had them done because i am young and nieve though. its some thing i like on little girls |

| Oh my god Ihave just read this post in utter shock, Iwouldnt dream of having a babies ears pierced, and Im amazed you even can! Sorry to offend those of you who like it or have had it done, but I couldnt put a child through that pain, and possible infection, and they could pull them or take them out and swallow them/stick up nose just cause it looks cute, I find it barbaric to submit a baby or toddler to unessisary pain in the name of fasion, bloody hell its like taking them to get tattooed! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | i didnt only do it for looks i done it to save her the pain when she was older too i was real happy i got mine done at 6weeks old.
Dior has never touched them botherd with them she cryed when they were done then that was the end of it, never had a problem since,
and tatoos can never be removed piercing can, so its totaly different |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Dionne you don't need to justify why you done it. If you like it, it's your decision. Like when I get Bex's done, my choice. I had mine done at 3! Im glad.
Barbaric is a bit harsh mind  I agree tho, there are pro's and con's-same as everything in life  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Personally I wouldn't have Frankie's done until she is old enough to ask and look after them herself. I realise it is personal choice but I thinke she should be old enough to take responsiblity for removing and changing the earrings for safety during PE at school. |
