Earings/Noserings

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!

Young kids with nose rings are uncommon, I think. Never heard of that before. I think I got my first ear holes when I was 4/5, as it's common for girls to be gifted earrings and I had to wear them. I thought they were cool, so I accepted. I agree, it's best to let the kids decide. We're talking of piercings, body mods, not suppositories.

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.

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

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.
