I wasn't allowed to have mine done until I finished Primary school and it was my "graduation present". I had my second ones done at 18 and the top of my ear done at 26 (a present to myself after my separation!).

Emma got hers done when she asked for them at 5. I looked around for ages to find a place that would do them both at once. I didn't want her to get one done and then not get the other one done. She was able to look after them herself and loves to look at earrings when we go shopping.

Asha will get hers done when she asks for them to be done ... I did think about it when she was a baby but decided that she should be the one to make the decision.

We have offered to get Jack's done but he keeps chickening out. He keeps saying maybe later. One day I am sure he will and when he asks then we will get it done. Maybe I can convince him for his birthday this year?

Cheers

I honestly think it is a personal choice ... I know plenty of people who have had their babies ears done ...
