Ear Piercing
19 Answers
I cant believe I don't know but what sort of places do ear piercing - my 8 year old daughter is keen but the only listings in Yellow Pages locally are for Body Piercing/Tattoo Parlours...
Any suggestions?

I did mine myself when I was 12 with a big darning needle - wouldn't even consider it now....and yes my mum did go mad!

I'd agree with Goodsy in that I would go to a reputable tatto / peircing place, but can understand you mightn't want to take an 8year old there.
When I was 4 my mum had mine done at Debenhams, don't know if they would still do it? And when I was a teenager and had extra holes in my ears some of the local hairdressers did it, so it might be worth checking with them too.

An 8 year old can tell you what she wants, you can explain to her about the pain and she can help to care for them herself. I had mine pierced at 4. I moaned and moaned and moaned for a long time to get them done even then.
My 8 year old sister recently had her ears pierced and she has looked after them very well.

Oh dear - should have been prepared for this is suppose!
She is very sensible and level-headed and has proved herself responsible in the past. She is articulate enough to explain why she would like to have her ears pierced and I see no harm in allowing it to go ahead.
LiquidSpace - thanks for your thoughts - any more specific ideas other than loads of places do it in Brighton - a bit of local knowledge would be good.
Many thanks,

My 6 year old granddaughter who has Muscular Dystrophy and is wheel chair bound, has just had her ears pierced. Her reason for wanting them done was that she is starting primary school and because she is rather small she feels the earrings will make her look more like the same age as her schoolmates. I agree with her completely...anything to boost her self confidence .
I think it is entirely up to the parents of any little girl to decide when
