I've always thought it was a bad idea due to logistics of growth. I didn't get my ears pierced til I was 10 (11? 12?, I don't actually remember). I'm SO thankful for that because many of my peers had them done as very young children - and what was the central spot on their ear as infants/toddlers no longer is. My piercings are dead center of my lobes still, while many others have one that are low or high or wonky.
I'd just like my non-existant-future-imaginary daughter to enjoy the same central earholes that I do.![]()
Good point. My MIL is indian and her ear's were pierced VERY young. When she wears earrings today they are so high up on her ears, they look painful and odd on her ears.
