hubby tried to pierce my sons ears behind my back. he wants baby to be like him and have a piercing in each ear so he can wear matching earing like his dad.

one ear i dont mind but some people say one ear is no longer the done thing

when he is older i wont mind but bwooooy

opinions

can give opinions for bothe girls and boys

I don't like pierced ears in men but I'm unfashionable so I'll let that slide LOL

I don't agree with piercing babies anyway. Should wait until they can take themselves to go get pierced later.

NO!NO!NO!

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but as far as I'm concerned earrings are for girls. No men in my family have their ears pierced, and that's the way it'll stay.

LD,

I'm more concerned that your Hubby tried to get your son's ears pierced behind your back. He needs a "good talking to"

I think it is dreadful to pierce babies and indeed children's ears. They are bueatiful enough already and def dont need to wear earrings. Let them choose for themselves when they are adults or at least over 16!

But then I am not a parent and it is a parents choice!

i dont mind the ears piercing just not yet

when he is older

imnot sure if i want him to rock both ears the way the trend is

but i for sure am not piercing his ears now

I'd wait until he was old enough to decide for himself if he wants his ears pierced. Personally, I don't like ear piercings on boys.

Some people's piercings heal over pretty quickly after they remove their earring or if they don't wear anything for a long time so when he starts going to nursery/school and can't wear it, the piercing might heal over anyway.

And then there's the laborious 6 week after care procedure to think about: 3 times a day with the ear care lotion and can't remove the stud for 6 weeks at least.

Very rarely do I see baby boys getting their ears pierced.

hmmmm two piercings for a babie boy, doesn't sound good to me.

I had my ears pierced when i was a baby. I didn't grow up too fast, in fact my earrings had nothing to do with the way in which i matured. So it really is up to the parent.

Well I'm preggy at the mo and if it's a girl I'll get her ears pierced at around 3 months. If it's a boy I'm not too sure.



Maybe...... (but if I was to do it, it would be both ears)

My teachings tell me that piercings are not right for ANYONE. However, if I were gonna take my child to get their ears pierced: I'd wait until they could TALK and TELL me they wanted that.

Considering the piercings are purely for a silly trend, it makes no sense to do that.

I got my ears pierced when I was 3 months old, and I'm glad because I love earrings and don't know if I would have gone through with it by my own decision.

I don't think any children would be scarred from getting an ear-piercing before an age of reasonable consent unless the piercing went wrong (which definitely is a possibility) because they wouldn't even remember what it was like without pierced ears.

A boy might be a tad different because it's less socially acceptable and the trends change (like, right/vs left ear, both vs one) whereas for females it's always been the tradtional two-ear piercings.
