Hi, I wouldn't say its "tacky" but it may be too adult? It would be nice if they had a choice if they want them or not. If they get pierced ears when they're older then that will be something exciting for them instead of being forced into it when they were younger. I have to say, my mum pierced my ears when I was one years old. I never had a say and I think its better if you just let your girls decide for themselves. It could be something nice for them to look forward to on their 12th birthday.
I havent read all the replies... but I will be waiting with my DD
My sister is desperate to get Tiah's ears done, has already given her little gold star earrings! She asks me if we can get it done about once every damn week!
I would much rather do it when she asks me if she can have it done. Then we can have a girly day, she can choose her earrings, get it done and then we can have a babychino afterwards to celebrate
I was 3 when Mum had my ears pierced....she wanted it done much earlier than that but Dad was against it. She went behind his back. TBH I remember it being done. The first ear didn't hurt, but the second one did because I knew what was coming. I never had trouble with them ever. I did end up with 4 more piercings in my ears when I was older.....but now I just wear one set.
It is cultural in my family too as they tend to pierce little girls early in Spain. Mum's ears were done when she was 3 months by my grandad with a needle and thread and a piece of cork! She doesn't remember a thing!
Today I had DD's ears pierced. I like them. Simple as that. I asked DH and he was OK with it...but I know MIL isn't. I went today to a proper piercing place, who did it with 2 guns....1 shot! Yep she screamed the house down....much like she did the day before at the doc when I got her immunised. They recommended I go back in 2 weeks for them to change them to sleepers, to make it easier for them to turn, and I will be doing that. They change the with a catheter, so slide out one earring and put in another.
Back to the point though, I don't think it's 'tacky'....but I do think you should OK it with your DH.
