Piercings At 12

spacer 23. Aug, 2009 BY: John spacer 193 Comments

spacer A friend of my youngest daughter just got her belly button pierced. To make it worse, she did it herself! Now my kids are not into piercing anything, including ears so there is no interest.

I understand the allure of teenagers and young adults but this girl is just 12. Now I have always said that if the worst thing my kids do is color their hair, get a tattoo and pierce themselves, I am probably ahead of the game.  But at 12, I am thinking way too young.

What do you think? Too young?

    if its only ears peirced that is fine at 12. but belly button peircing maybe at 16 or 18. give her the chance to have her ears peirced once because it’s sort of a nice privilidge.

      im 13. my mom didnt want me gettiing it done but i have wanted it done since i was 7 cause i always thought it was pretty. im not getting it done becasue people at my school are getting it done im getting it done becasue im a teenager i know its permanent and it will leave a scar if i take it out. plus your daughter might say she doesnt want to get it done because she might think you will say no so she doesnt bother and if thats the case if she really wants it she will do it herself and that is alot more dangerous than getting it done at a profesional parlor. me and my mom made a deal that if i dont have any d’s and f’s on my final report card of the year than i get to get it on my 14th birthday. on june 3rd.

      Im almost 17 and i just got mine done last month.. I do think 12 is way to young.. I was 6 when i got my ears done and 12 when i got my second piercing on my ear lobes. Now that im in college classes my parents decided it was okay to let me have it done. And even though i wanted it then i think its better that they didnt let me.. Plus piercings are addicting.. And i disagree with people who say to let her choose.. Shes 12 and in what 7 grade? Shes too young to look at the long term effects of having one.. I am a very smart person and even at that age i probably wouldnt have taken that great of care of it… But in the end it is YOUR decision and no one elses. Only you know your daughter and know if its a good idea for her.. I persinally feel she is too young, just for the fact that it gets caught o everything! And if shes into sports and playing around it could easily get pulled on and out.. That hurts so bad! So just weigh the pros and cons (:

    I think its ok to have things that they can and can’t do. But ears should be fine at 12 I was about 6 maybe 7 when my parents let me pierce mine. But I’m 19 now and I just got my belly button pierced. Yes my mom freaked out but she finally realized its my body. But I won’t allow anyone to pierce themselves. Its not safe so never lets your daughter pierce herself. Good thing to do is let her research the pros and cons to each thing she will want to do. That how I finally made up my mind to pierce my belly button.
