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.
girls i am so so so sorry about my disgusting behavior the other day.truely i dont know what i was thinking or doing.i know i was an extreme ***** to some of you and im so sorry

UPDATE: I have agreed with DP that we will wait until DD1 asks for her ears to be pierced but have agreed that when we do hers we will do DD2's at the same time.
Last week DD1 asked about my earrings, she wanted them.
I told her she doesn't have earrings, she asked for them. I told her she had to ask daddy
So we will see if she keeps asking and if he caves.
