Mummies & daddies.... Do u pierce your girl's ear? If yes, at how old? If no, mind to share why or simply feel that's no need to peirce at young age, they can decide for themselves when they grow up? I'm can't decide if I should get her ear pierced.....

No, just like tattooing, piercings are a form of body modification and I don't want to pierce my daughter's ears without knowing if she wants it. If it is painful for adults, what more little babies, with skin more sensitive than ours? I really wouldn't do it. I don't quite understand how people can recoil at babies getting tattooed but not at ear piercings. To me, babies shouldn't be subjected to our standards of beauty. Besides, I don't think babies look good with ear piercings. I had my ears pierced when I was 5 years old, after my mother asked if I would want to wear earrings. At least she sought consent instead of deciding for me.
