I am thinking i would REALLY like to get BOTH my girls ears pierced... DP says NO not until they are old enough to choose foe themselves

Have you had your LO's ears pierced and what were the pro's & con's of having them done around this age.

DD1 is 2 and DD2 is 10.5mths.

I was thinking it will be good now as it will be done and over with with little fuss and then they will just be used to them being in.
Am thinking i might ask DP's cousin to watch the girls while we go to a movie then sneakily ask her to go and get them pierced.. then DP can't say ANYTHING to me..

So what do you think?
Is it cute or tacky?
