As much as parents have rights over their children, is it right for parents to get their ears/noses pierced at a very tender age or that decision should be left to the children to decide as they grow? Personally, I'll let my kids decide.

In my country, during several generation, earrings were a must for girls. The matron opened their ears almost at birth and the godmother gave them gold tiny earrings so the ears would not get infected. But things are changing now.

I reckon they should wait til the kids are old enough to decide!. I'm not keen on seeing babies or little kids with piercings it's too easy to get an earring caught and tear the ear. I got mine done at around 9 years old after begging my parents for months!

Please give your parents a very warm hug for me...I know of adults who have never been pierced and they don't plan to.

Ear piercing is common here, but nose piercing is not anymore. It used to be few years back

By common does that mean it is a must to get pierced at that very tender age?

My mother got my ears pierced when I was three years old. I still remember how painful it was. Parents should let their children decide whether they want ear piercing or not.

Thank you. My take too...some of this somewhat "irreversibles" should be left to kids to decide.
