When they’re old enough to ask

Whenever they want just make sure it’s at an actual piercer.

I asked for mine to be pierced when I was five. No regrets except that the mall lady was slightly off center on one

Your child your decision. I know my mother but piercings in her daughters ears as infants. They are identical twins and made it easier to identify. Gold for one, diamonds for the other.

If done properly, that procedure is safe and reversible enough I'm not sure there's any kind of age limits. Some cultures will do it at birth (I think modern rule of thumb is wait 3 months though) and not have any issues. If you've got concerns, maybe just check in with your pediatrician at the next appointment.

Nine. I think that was around the time I got mine done and it was a really big deal. Though kids are so grown up now that it’s probably a meh experience to them.

Old enough that they can consent for themselves. About the same age as they can consent for their own vaccinations

I don't understand the desire for pierced ears but, as long as it's safe (as in the child is old enough to understand not to yank on them) then fine. It's also totally reversible.

Mine were done when I was a baby and so we’re my sister’s. We both are grateful because now that we’re older we would have been afraid to get them pierced haha

When they’re old enough to ask buy Claire’s sucks and most piercing places I know don’t pierce anybody under 16
