I'd feel it was too young but then my parents and the parents of my closest friends were very strict so we we used to having to wait. We were allowed our belly buttons done at 16.

I got my nose done at 15 and was suspended from school because they don't allow it and I didn't want to take it out so it would heal up. Unfortunatly I had to in the end. Is her school ok with it or is she just not able to wear it to school? My school was also very strict about that sort of thing.

I still have my belly button done and I also have 4 tattoos but I know I would still be strict and not allow it till at least 16. I'm sure I'll be unpopular though.

i hadnt really thought that much bout this as gracie is only 2 and half so a long way to go yet!! but my son had his ear done at 8 ( he kept losing the earrings so its closed up now tho!) i dont really have a problem with it tho, i think i would let her do it as you have already said she could, and its not as tho it is on show all the time(i wouldn let them have eyebrows/tongue/nose done for this reason and as most schools wouldnt allow it, but a belly is covered up most of the time anyhow.) i think as long as she looks after it, it will be fine, keep an eye on it yourself tho to make sure its clean and looks healthy. good luck

omg old thread!!! an she did get it done, as she said in her last reply

I had mine done around that age. My mom paid for it and everything, she wanted me to get it done. You're not allowed piercings over here, even with parent permission until 16; but my stepdad knew a guy who did them and was a friend of his. He even did it for only 10$, with us buying the ring!!
My mother has her tongue and nipples pierced. She also has like... 13 tattoos (most in concealable places though, so she doesn't look strange or anything.. ).
She also let me get my tongue done at 16, and she paid for all of that. However, I took it out when I was 17, as I just didn't care too much for it anymore. Cool when I got it, but got bored with it.
With my own child, if I had a girl, I wouldn't let her until she was at least 16. I wouldn't want her to grow up to fast hehe..

My niece had hers done for her 12th birthday, - IMO that's too young. I think about 14ish is fine though, I think people at 14 are more mature than they are credited for. When you're about 14, I think that's when you start to find yourself, - not a great deal of me personally has changed since being 14, beliefs, desires, likes and dislikes, ethics etc, - I've just become more sure of alot of them.

i think its fine if she is old enough to understand about looking after it then why not?
ill send you photos of my belly piercing scars if you like to show her what can happen after a few years and a baby if you want to put her off tho. (i did have 7 of them...)

I'd let her, as long as she isn't going to be walking around in a sportsbra to show it off.

It's only a piercing, and really, it's considered quite tame nowadays. Be happy she doesn't want her bridge pierced or her septum.

In my opinion it's too young. And i'm wondering why she wants it done, as nobody will see it unless she wears short tops or bikinis. mind you, it's your own decision.

I suppose you should ask all the non-nudists who have nipple piercings why they bother having them... along with the people who have genital piercings. Piercings CAN just be solely for the person who has them.

Same with tattoos.
