I agree it's each to their own. I will get Rochelle's done sometime in the next year. I had mine done when I was an infant and not only do I not remember the pain associated with it but I also never had any problems with it infection etc. However when I was in primary school I got my second holes done and they used to get so infected and I'd keep taking them in and out and playing with them, they'd grow over and I'd get my gf's to poke them back through before class etc. It was horrible! I don't particularly like the look of piercings on little girls, or the cute factor. But I think in our society it's not really whether they will get them pierced, but when. I respect some people want to follow tradition of allowing their daughter to be pierced on her 13th birthday - high five to them - but i'd rather do it whilst she is younger so I can clean them and look after them for her. Mum also told me I never really played with them because as far as I knew they had always been apart of me.

You just need to do what works for you and not get too carried away with what everyone else thinks. Best of luck!
