    I'm also against the grain, but tbh, I think it's tacky. I had mine done when I was 6. Is there any harm in waiting a few years?

    And if I did something like piercing behind my DH's back he'd be devastated, especially if he'd expressed an opinion against it.

    Thanks everyone.. i think, mine were done before i was 1, i remember mum saying it didn't bother me at all.
    I guess i can talk to DP and maybe suggest we get them done after DD2's birthday.
    DD1 is very into her necklaces and things and has been playing with my earrings so he might change his mind

    My mum has 3 girls. She waited for us to ask her to get them.
    I asked to get mine done when i was 6. I remember it hurt, i cried for a few minutes after, but also remember walking out and feeling like I was carrying massive rocks from my ears. If i have a daughter I tihnk i'll be waiting for her to make the decision.
    My sisters didnt end up getting theirs done til they were 19 and 21!

    :yeahthat: I think it looks cheap and is unnecessary. I had mine done at 13 and that is when DD will be allowed to get them done if a
    She chooses.
    Doing on the sly makes the whole thing tackler.
