My daughter wants a second piercing? She is 7.?

Question

Should I let her? She wants it for her 8th birthday. She got her first ear piercing when she was 6 and it was totally her idea. She didn't cry or anything. So should I just let her?Her older sister (12) has 2 piercings, but didn't get her second hole until her 12th birthday.

I guess that's why my other daughter is asking me for it, because she wants to be like her big sis.

My husband has no problem with it, but I don't know.

Answer 1

I think that if you made your first daughter wait til she was 12 to get her 2nd piercing, then the same rule should apply for your 2nd daughter.

Answer 2

You, better than anyone can make the decision; however, I would say a resounding NO to that. She is way too young to make decisions like that for herself.

Answer 3

If she's done a great job of taking care of her first piercings, it's not a big deal to let her get a second set, especially if your husband is on board.  If she needs constant reminders to keep her piercings clean already, tell her it's something you'll consider for her 9th birthday if she can prove to be more responsible.  Ear piercings (to me) don't seem like a battle that's worth winning.  They're socially acceptable, pretty, and harmless if taken care of.

Answer 4

I don't see a problem with it..

Answer 5

Yeah, as long as its not eyebrow/chin etc its ok

Answer 6

No, if God wanted her to have pierced ears,

she would of been born with them.

Answer 7

well as long as the piercing is in her ears i dont see a problem. a lot of girls have it done and they see it and want it. especially younger girls. they feel better when they get them because then they can have a ball with mixing and matching earings.

Answer 8

No WAY!!!! She is way to young she should get it peirced when she is 10. Right now you are responsible for what she has done to her body

Answer 9

Well, I don't know. That seems just a LITTLE young for me. I'd raise it to at least the 10th birthday.

Answer 10

No?! shes 7 years old, I'm 13 and I only have 1 piercing, one on each ear. If you let her do this, she'll probably ask you for future things, like getting her tongue, lip or belly pierced, ew. No, dont let her.

Answer 11

i can see why you would be unsure about it in seeing that she is only going to be 8 but i would let her go for it because its not hurting her or anyone else and you let your other daughter, maybe make her wait until shes 12 if that would make you feel better she might resent you for a little while but trust me she will get over it. also make sure to check with the school because i know at my schools we werent allowed to show a second piercing but good luck making your decision!

Answer 12

I think if she is pretty much really wanting it i guess get it for her but  does she take care of her ears like cleaning them if so i think you can let her do it! If not wait a little longer till she is about 10,11,or,12.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

I think it's fine. I got my second hole when I was 8 so she's not that far off.

Answer 14

I think you should tell her to wait.  I have had my ears double pierced and I want more piercings, but my mom says no.  I'm 13 and my mom says it's better to wait so I have something to do when I'm older and want to do something crazy on my own.  

If you let your daughter do too many things now, she won't have anything left except the more and more crazy things.  

Also, it would be fair to make her wait until she's 12 because her sister had to wait that long.  It should be fair.

Answer 15

I think you shouldn't let here have it. Here personality will change and most likely eventually she probably won't want it anymore. Also 1 is plenty for a 6 year old.

Answer 16

i think you should i got two piercing right when i was out of the hospital when i was born. and a third one in second grade i think you should its not like a tatoo

Answer 17

It's just her ears, NOT anything major or shocking. I would say it's appropriate.

On the other hand, if it was a tongue piercing, my answer would DEFINATELY BE NO!!!

Answer 18

Sure, why not? It's just an ear piercing.

Answer 19

why not, its just her ear.

Answer 20

As long as shes not getting and body piercings like her belly button I think its ok.

Answer 21

Well it's not something I would likely let my almost 7 yo do.  I would likely make her wait to an age closer to when your older dd got her second. It's easy enough to say "No we think you should wait until you're older. ___ didn't get her second until she was 12."  

For the record I'm all about peircings and tatts but I don't think we should be rushing their childhood.

Answer 22

i think she should get it if she really wants it! after all, its just a piercing, nothing more :]

Answer 23

I agree with JJ123.

You made your 12 year old wait, the same should apply to your 7 year old.

Answer 24

Yeah, sure, if she wants to.

Answer 25

you really have to think about how you feel about it if you have any doubts then no if not then let her get the piercing

Answer 26

Yeah its fine, if its not anywhere other than her ear.

then its all good. it will bring her happiness and youll

be happy to see your daughter happy. :)

i wish i could get my ears peirced :( cuz

most of my friends have theres pierced.

hope i helped!

xx

Answer 27

Its all personal prefernce

but if she really wants it, and then changes her mind she can always take it out and the whole will close up.

Answer 28

why not
