[Guest]

My daughter, Emma, was born on 15th March. One of my friends who has a daughter a couple of weeks older mentioned to me yesterday that she is intending to take her daughter to Claire's Accessories when she is four months old to have her ears pierced. She wondered if I wanted Emma to have it done too when she is a baby.

I hadn't really thought about it to be honest until yesterday when my friend mentioned it. I had my own ears pierced for the first time when I was a teenager and then a second time when I was 22.

I can see the advantages of baby girls having it done when they are babies. It hurts them a lot less at that age, it gives them a start and means you are not worrying about when to do it and does look really cute. More and more baby girls are now, of course having it done very young and I am worried if I don't do it now, I will not know when to do it. I know it is much more difficult when they are toddlers. My friend will definitely take her daughter to have it done and it will be nice for our friendship if we go together and have both our daughters pierced at the same time.

On the other hand, I am a bit worried about making this decision for her when she might prefer to decide for herself when she is older. Also, is there a risk that as she grows up, the holes become crooked and look different in each ear ?

I am really not sure what to do. I have another month to wait since Claire's don't do it until they are four months.

I asked my husband what he thought. I know his older sister has two daughters and she had them both done as babies. They are now six and four years old and have had no problems with them and they look sweet. He says he will leave the decision to me as doesn't mind either way.

Can anyone advise me as to what I should do ? I would particularly like to hear from mums who DID decide to have their babies pierced as babies and whether or not they think they made the right decision. If you have a second daughter in the future, would you make the same decision for them too ?

Thanks for your help,

Karen.

Unfortunately, all the people that want to wreck this thread have been active again ever since the originator (Katy Shaw) posted recently. It is very obvious that these people have no interest in the original idea of this thread, but are just intent upon causing problems for everyone else.

A few weeks ago was Lacey and Ryan’s first birthdays, and for one of Lacey’s presents I took her to have her ears pierced again. Although I had intended getting her ears pierced for a third time about 4 -5 months ago, I never got round to it, and my intention then had been to have her fourth holes pierced for her birthday, but I will now have to get them done shortly, after her third holes have healed, but I certainly don’t want to leave it much longer.
When I took Lacey to have her ears done again, I also got the cartilage at the top of Paige’s ears pierced, which I have wanted done for a while now. I was even tempted to see if Paige would be still enough for her next holes in her lobes at the same time, although I decided that from experience of the struggles I’ve had just to have one hole pierced in each ear at a time, I didn’t know how she would take having them done twice. I’m still slightly undecided whether to have them pierced again – it would be the last time though, unless she wants more holes when she is older.
I’m going to be going through this all again, because I’m due again in June. The scans indicate that it is another girl, although we all know that scans can be wrong. One way or another I will do very similar to last time when I get the baby’s ears pierced – if it’s a girl having her ears pierced several times as soon as possible, and if its a boy having the left ear pierced twice but just one hole in the right ear
At the same time is when I also hope to get Lacey’s ears pierced at the top. I always think a piercing there looks nice, and so I want to just go ahead and get it done as soon as I can. Although I wasn’t going to have Ryan’s ears pierced again unless he asks when he’s older, I think I will almost certainly have his left ear pierced in the cartilage as well.

Katy. Congratulations on having Anna and getting her ears pierced – you’ve made the right decision, and I’m glad it all went well. Obviously you won’t go down the route that I have with Paige and Lacey, but that is your choice.

I will probably post again when I get Lacey’s ears pierced again

As a fully qualified ear piercer, who has been piercing ears since 1991, I can only say the above post is nonsense.

A 1 y/o could not possibly have so many earrings. Even with small piercing studs, two in each ear would be difficult and impossible to do correctly with most.

The 3 or 4 piercings she is talking about is nonsense. A one year old's earlobes are not big enough (think about adults, how many could an adult easily take?)

I have pierced hundreds of ears, women, men, girls and boys, and this Julie is not telling the truth. Speak to any of your local ear piercers and they will confirm what I have said.

While I like earrings, what does a baby need so many for? One pair are enough. I am double pierced (by choice), my daughter has one pair and both my sons have one. My husband also has one.

I cannot believe some people.

For those who like to see girls with double pierced ears, here is a link to a Youtube video of a teen aged girl getting her second piercings. It's a very nice video with some great close ups of her ears before and after the second holes are added. The video was first posted in early January and has been viewed more than 5,000 tiomes already. Enjoy.

Mrs S,

My 15 year old daughter has one ear ring in each lobe and has had since her 14th birthday. She want's to have her left ear lobe tripple pierced and her right ear lobe double pierced and one pierced in her right cartilage for her 16th birthday treat in May. Can this all be done in one go? Or should she wait for the triple and cartilage piercing and if so how long?

Hazel.
