and have decided to let my DD's choose if they wont them done...im a bit like Hollye on this one.

While it looks cute....i would rather my kids decide if they want piercings in their body!
Not a bad way to approach it IMO. It can reinforce and teach your child that she has right to choose how she wants to decorate her body if at all. Also if she knows it will hurt, may get infected but still wants to do it, then she has made that choice with facts provided.

In my family of 3 girls, my middle sister chose to have it done at 11, I chose at 16 and my baby sister chose to never have her ears pierced.
