Hi does anyone know what age a child has to be in northern ireland to get their ears pierced.?

Question

i have heard that they need to be at least seven and my five year old really wants hers done

Answer 1

In the U.S. and England it's any age if your with a parent or 18. You might call the place where your planning on piercing her ears. They should give you plenty of info.

Answer 2

Ugh, how tacky (no offence)!

I hate piercings on little children! Ugh.

Don't listen to your daughter- don't let her get her ears done yet!  

Answer 3

I don't know Northern Ireland particularly, but as it's part of the British government, and a child in Britain can get them done from as young as 1 year up I think, with parents permission. Then when they are 16 they don't need it.

If she really wants it done, you could do it as a present, like for her birthday. But do you want her to get it done? I wanted my kids to wait till they were at least 11, so we got it done as a special treat in the summer holidays before they started secondary school.

Answer 4

No age, in Derry (I live in Inishowen but shop in Derry) quite a few babies have them, although I disagree with doing it to babies this implies there aren't any age restrictions.  

Answer 5

I beleive it's any age as long as there is parent permission. I mean some Indian children have their ears peirced before they can walk right?

Answer 6

16

Answer 7

as far as i know they can be any age so long as they have their parents permission.

Answer 8

To get their ears pierced?  You have to be kidding me!!  My daughter was 2 months old when I had hers done!!

If one of these is near you, they state they will do the piercing over age 5 with parental permission.

Good luck!

Answer 9

why not go to a jewllers and ask - in England its any age as long as a parent is with them - my neice was 6 months when my sister in law had hers done

Answer 10

I dont know for sure if they have any regulations like that but as her mother you should be able to get it done. I got my girls ears done as a christmas presant last year after they turned 5. I know lots of people have it done with babies so you should be able to.

I would call arround and ask places about doing it before you take her she may get very dissapointed if you take her somewhere to get it done and they wont do it.
