If your son (approaching teens) wanted to pierce his ears, would you let him?

Piercings are NOT perminant. They close up. sure. I would let him. Why? because if my daughter wanted hers done I would let her. I had my ears pierced when I was VERY young. (I don't think I was in kindergarten). I've had tehm pierced more since too.

I wouldn't mind even though I might urge him to wait until he's a bit older. I wouldn't let him wear gaudy earrings though.

The piercings do go away after all so I don't see the big deal.

If your son (approaching teens) wanted to pierce his ears, would you let him?

(If you told him no, would you be prepared to risk him 'experimenting' anyway with an unsterile needle in front of a mirror?)

I wouldn't fight over that, it's just not worth it. I'd save my battles for something worth while. Then when I do say no to something, it'll carry more weight. Hair, clothes, & piercings are no big deal--it's all temporary. A tatto, is a no-no till 18. Moral choices are a big deal-- no drugs, no smoking, etc.

No, I would not sign a consent. I might sign one around 16.... preteen is too young IMO.

I don't know it is kind of "girly" isn't it? Just kidding - after reading some of the replies to the "Real Men wear Pink "thread



I would allow my DS to get his ears pierced in his teens. But then again I let him wear pink too - Oh My
