Yeah when I see a baby with a pink outfit on I assume they are a baby girl.

Did you read the title of the thread or the first post? We are talking about babies, not 8 year olds.

Where did you go to get them pierced? I had mine done at 7 at some place in the mall. My twins (4 next month), want them...but I am going to wait a few more years.

Ya got me brother. I am a fool for mistyping tattoo, not misspelling. But way to puff your chest up.

Very trashy IMO. We let our girl wait until she was 4 and decided she wanted them pierced.

Is it trashier than puppies?

I took my daughter to Claire's in the mall. I called before we went to make sure two people where there to do them so both ears could be done at one time. I knew once my daughter felt the first one she might not want to go through with the second ear lol.

I don't have a daughter so I'm indifferent, but I get a kick out of all the "let them decide for themselves" responses. You decide their clothes, haircut, food, literally everything but for some reason, this one thing that you can be almost 99% sure they're going to want has to be left up until they are a rational thinking 4-8 year old.

Babies don't need their ear's pierced.

Very good point.

When they are old enough to decide for themselves means that they are old enough for them to understand not to mess with their ears. Babies constantly tug and pull at their ears and they are more apt for the piercing area to get infected.

Piecing ears for girls is like the first form of peer pressure they have. Delaying that temptation is a good thing IMO. They have enough to deal with later on.

Not always. I was 13 when I got my ears pierced at a Claire's - the first time. They hurt so much I wouldn't let my mom touch them to rotate them, so we had to let them close. I occasionally wore clip-on earrings (which hurt like a bitch) until the next time I got my ears pierced, in a doctor's office. I was 18.
I kinda wish I could've had my ears pierced when I was a baby, so I couldn't fight back with my mom over her touching them.
Besides, if they don't want their ears to be pierced later, they could just let them close. That would be a very small minority though.Posted on 3/23/14 at 11:24 am to STBTigerr

All these things that you mentioned are necessities and can't be compared to poking holes in a baby's ears so that they can look all "blinged" out. Babies have to eat, need clothes to stay warm, and need their hair cut so that they can see.
Why stop at piercing a baby's ears? Why not pierce the nose and mouth?

Almost as trashy as taking a cruise

Probably the best reply to this thread. I laugh at the idiots thinking how superior they are when they post about how they did (or will) let their kid "decide" when they were anywhere from 4 yrs old to 8 yrs old as though a kid that age is in any better position to make a lifelong decision than a newborn baby.

I don't think you and others really get why people say that they let their kids decide when to do it. It has nothing to do with teaching them a lesson in respnsibility. It's the same as letting them decide when they want any other piece of jewelry, such as a ring or bracelet.
It's trashy in the same way as parents who enter their daughters into beauty patents and dress them up like they are 20 years older.

No I get it.... and it's stupid. I fully understand the absurdity of their stance that somehow it's better to wait until they are old enough to say" take me to the mall and get my ears pierced". The ability ot utter these words does not in any way indicate they are ready to take care of their ears any more than an 8 year old asking for an airplane means they're ready to be a pilot.
Like I said, anyone thinking a 4 year old or even an 8 year old is in any way more ready to make any "lifelong" decision for themselves than a baby, is an idiot. If you're going to wait until they are truly ready to make big decisions for themselves, you'd wait until they were an adult.
