My daughter has been asking to have her ears pierced after seeing 2 of her classmates with pierced ear lobes and wearing ear studs to school. Today, about a month short of turning six, she got her ears pierced. Given another chance I would not have let her pierced her ears!
I can't help but recall a story a friend told me a few year ago the moment I saw her pierced ear lobes. This friend was telling me about a time his daughter's girl friend was wearing one of those earrings that has round rings dangling from the ear lobes and they were playing a game. One of his finger was accidentally caught in one of the earrings ripping it off the little girl's ear and tearing her ear lobe!
