Should I have my daughter's ears pierced ?

[Guest]

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.

are you serious you waited till your daughter is 16 to do all these piercings? stupid julie h says its fine to do new borns with that many earrings and we all know HE knows best dont we? on the serious tip get your daughter her second set 1st, then after at lest 8 weeks she could get her 3rd done but not all in one hit isnt healthy.

Mrs S

Thanks for that.

This afternoon (as an early birthday treat from her father and much to my surprise) Amy came home pulled her hair back and showed me her ears with two new little diamond studs pierced in them.

I think they look very nice so much so I think i may have mine double pierced when she has her third and her cartilage pierced but maybe i am a bit old at 46 we will see!

What do you think all

[Mrs. S]

I haven't written here since the last time I posted.

The answer is no. They should not be done at once.

For the "troll" argument:

I don't know why does it matter so much. We're all in the web and have to be taken by our words. Julie H didn't try to persuade anyone to give her his money or have sex or anything. so no point policing her.

Alex doesn't seem to be Julie H if you read him prorperly, neither is Katyshaw, she it just a mom who pierced her baby daughters ears - there are plenty of others.

Miss S: Julie H says she always changes the stud to a hoop, to make place for a new one, does this change the picture?

Isn't piercing a baby a bit of a problem anyway? isn't it likely to be misplaced because the ear is too small, and the baby might move?

I've missed this thread for six weeks, so I bring back matters for pgs. 30, 31:

When I said a girl is likely to want to have pierced ears like her mom, I didn't say it's for sure - it's just more common.

I don't like jewelry on kids, personal taste I guess. piercing baby girl's ears picked up here (Israel) somewhere in the eighties, but seems to be less common now (among non-orthodox jews). When I had a daughter it was quite unthinkable to pierce her ears before she asks for it, for both of us - my ex and me.

she did ask when she was around 3, I prefered she'll wait till she's 10 and would be able to take care of cleaning her ears herself - that was the official, I just didn't like it. Well my ex didn't ask me, and it's funny that years later, when my daughter was 15, she didn't allow her a 3rd hole...

But - if Katyshaw, Julie H etc. think otherwise - up to them. I don't think it hurts more than a shot, taking blood, etc. that every baby undergoes several times. not much of a scar either. so its' placement and the question of choice:

I think kids should chose if possible, according to age. If my daughter/ son wants to go with a dress I'd allow it, if s/he wants pants, I'd allow it. hair they same, as long as s/he combs it him/herself. Earrings the same - if s/he can clean it properly. I like earrings myself, for myself and adults, but that's not the point.

circumcision is - when my son was born I didn't give it much thought. If I had another boy I would. lots of my friends say its much more harmful than I thought. One think I can tell you - it hurts! Emla and all.

how old is amy? did she get 2 in each ear, or 2 in total (one in each?

[Guest]

Amy is a month off 16. She is now double pierced in both ears. As i said in my last post i liked the look on her and thought I might light to get double pierced myself so yesterday my husband to me back to the same shop and I had my ears pierced again. I feel like a 16 year old again!

What utter crap.

A word of advice - if you want to seem even remotely convincing - change your use of wording and phrasing. You can tell it's you a mile off Julie.

You have to be such a sad person. I've met some losers in my time - but you REALLY take the Oscar for Best Troll!

Hi, people.

Julie H

Both caralidges sounds cool, better than just one.
congrats on the pregnency

Mrs S

you sound awesome, what is the youngest pair of ears you have or will
double (or more) pierce?

Do agree to a point what you say about small lobes, but if you look hard enough there is more than one reference to 2month old girls with double pierced ears.

guest

I have nothing to do with julie h, in any way shape or form

the colonel

is it possable you could move this thread to the members only section, to stop your troll friends, please.

hazel

you and your daughter will enjoy your double piercings for years to come, well done.

uri

at least you seem a nice person, none of this slagging off business.

speak to you later people.

Alex (and others)

Since you are so interested in pierced ears, here is a link to a Youtube video of a teen aged girl getting her second piercings which you will enjoy. There are some great close ups of her ears both beofre and after the new piercings.

Clicking on this link will take you to a list of several videos. The one I am recommending should be the top one on the list. The thumbnail print has a profile view of the girl looking to the right.

julie, alex...whatever you want to call yourself this week SHUT UP!

[fliss]

wow this isnt a forum about piercing ears its about trolls.

but i understand the annoyance.

y should you pierce a child, which cant say no.

at least leave it till the child can ask herself to have it done.
then educate the child into what happens, and how to care for them.
and that it does hurt! its a needle going threw your flesh.

but i didnt get my ears pierced till i was 19

and iam glad i got to make the decison myself

and i hope the law for the age of getting your ears pierced goes ahead.

cause i think everyone should have the right to decied at any age to say yes or no.

and if they cannot speak for themselfs then its a no till they can speak

and because u think its pretty or because its fashionabel doesnt mean

you should pierce them.

leave it and let them make there own decision.

fliss

[The Colonel]

Agreed.

Their body = Their choice.

As J.S Mill commented "the individual is sovereign". Meaning no-one has power over an individuals own mind and choices - except their own mind and choices.

I would also wait, but many people wouldn't. It doesn't makes them trolls yet.

Just talked saturday night to a fifty something YO relative of mine. She came from Argnetina (to israel) years ago, and she was keen to pierce her first grand-daughter ears. It was hard to find, she told me - she was told only Arab and ultra-Orthodox Jews (the ones who wear always black), pierce they baby daughter's ears. She was quite disappointed immigrants from Argentina doesn't fo it anymore.

So it's just one difference of opinion, basically. and a cultural thing.
