A look at what is currently available on eBay
Do you think I should allow my 6 year old daughter to get her ears pierced?
I let her get a pair of clip-ons a few months ago, but they didn't last long. She thought they were too big and thought the clip bit looked ugly. She got magnets instead.
She wears them all the time, but feels they are a bit bigger than she would like and she feels they have too much metal on show. The earrings she would really like are absolutely tiny, with only the stone on view.
She said herself that if I let her get her ears pierced, the studs she would have "poked in" wouldn't be any nicer than the magnets, although they'd be better because they wouldn't fall off, but after 6 weeks she'd have "earring freedom".
I warned her that it would hurt a bit, at which point she told me "yeah, its pins going through your ears, of course its gonna hurt"
I can't decide whether to let her do it. On one hand, she has wanted them since she was 2½, but on the other hand, 6 seems too young to make a decision she will have to live with for the rest of her life.
My ears were pierced when I was 6 months old by my grandma, with a needle, potato and and an Ice cube. It's a good thing I don't remember that!!! Earrings are not permanent, the do come out, it's not something you "live with for the rest of your life". It's not like it's a tattoo. If she wants them pierced let her, she's a girl and wants to be girlie, if one day she decides she doesn't want them anymore then let her take them out. No big deal.
