I had mine done when i was about 9 months old. That was some years ago now. But wouldnt allow dd to have hers done until about 11 i think. I think the choice should be hers, not mine, unlike my mum.

can't really see how piercing your nose could paralyse your face, lol! i got mine done and it was over in a second and didn't even hurt. i'd let my dd's get that when they were 16.

When dd has been asking consistently for a whole year and knows the full implications of what it entails then i'll let her. So far she's been asking about her ears for 2 months now...ARGH

I dont get this boys not being allowed but girls are surely it dosnt matter if the parent particulary likes it its the child who wants it? as long as they are old enough for you to be happy with the age whats the gender got to do with it

I will never 'allow' ds 8 to have his ear pierced as i personally dont like it on boy's or even men. If dd 5 want's her's done then it'l be when she's 8 or so but no younger.
What age would you allow your children to have piercings? Is there any age you'd consider to be too young?
