What do you think about piercing girls' ears?

I don't want to do it because I think she should choose herself and I don't want to cause her physical pain. My husband wants to do it because that is the Egyptian way according to him. Isn't it hell for them to sleep on those and isn't actually too late when she is almost one year old, won't she try to rip them out?

I think its terrible and to be honest always reminds me of gypsy kids
Tell him he's not in Egypt now and its not normal in your culture. Your daughter is growing up in Europe not Egypt. He only needs to look around at other babies to see for himself that its not normal practice until she is much older and then its her choice not his. Why does he want to make her different.

Tell him to get his nipples pierced or his dick. Its pretty common her in europe with the young guys. After he has done that, - then his baby girl can get her ears pierced. His the one that wanna "be like everybody else".

well what girl doesnt eventually want her ears pierced?

i had aleya's done in the hospital after birth and now she is sporting gold hoops.

she loves going to the mall with me and picking out new earrings and stuff.

i never seen it bother her ears before. just get the gold balls, nothing with stones or anything to avoid them getting caught in something.

as for the pain it only hurts for a second. my mom did my ears with ice and a needle. and now i have 3 holes in each, done by me. quick pinch nothing more. just keep them clean...

it hurts like crap when you're older and doesn't hurt much when you're a baby. it's been pretty common in europe til about 10-15 years ago to get girls ears pierced when they were babies. in fact, when they didn't people would assume it was a boy in hand-me-down pink clothes :-)

i got mine pierced at 9 when i could finally decide for myself (actually i had been asking ever since i could talk as all my friends had earrings except me) .... and i really wished my mom had mine done when i couldn't remember the pain.

seems there's a greater chance for infection as well when you get older as your skin doesn't heal as quickly (or something)

what looks odd to you, looks normal to him. he's probably worried everyone is going to think the baby is a boy

Ugh, My mother and Father mandated that we had to be 13 years old, and that the procedure would be done by a Dr.

He used the big old stainless steel surgical earrings and I remember turning them every day to get them to heal. The sharp point of the "peircing earring" poked my head when I slept but eventually I got used to them. We had a "one hole" rule though, and when I put in a second hole at a jewler when I was 16, My father confiscated all of my earrings and checked everyday until the holes healed and closed up.

But that was a very conservative household, we weren't allowed to wear blouses with buttons until we were Juniors in HS, and never anything but a one piece swimsuit. Poor Daddy, he had two daughters 15 months apart, one blonde, one brunette and both smoking hot cheerleaders/athletes. I look back and think I was lucky I ever got to leave the house!

As far as piercing babies... I never had a daughter so I can't offer advice, but my opinion is that on a baby.. tiny gold ball earrings are ADOREABLE, but drop earrings with beads and rhinestones on an 8 year old are too much.

i take it you were the athlete right?
ur kinda butchy that way.
and for a broad who was raised in such a conservative household, how in the earth did u get into tattoos and squeezing into tiny teenager outfits until you look like the Michelin Man wrapped in duct tape? your papa must be so proud...loooool

anyway the piercing earrings arent supposed to stab ur head because the backing has a cover on it...the stem doesent go thru all the way.

I am allergic to most earrings as well... unless they are real silver I can only wear them for a few hours and I only wear earrings perhaps twice a year as I don't think they suit me much.

I think kids with earrings, espeically these nasty fake gold hoops that could sit a parrot in them look awful.. when they swing their heads the the poor kid gets a dirt line on their neck from the earring and I think the kids look like potential car theives!!! real scrubby grubby looking.

None of the children in my family have their ears pierced... maybe when they are older they will want to but if they ever get their jewellery from a catalogue (ie Argos) I will disown them

where was this??

Where I grew up I can only remember one Italian girl ( Maria Monteleone) and a few of the poor kids, and the Irish at my primary school having them.

God I wanted them so bad!!

It was def considered gypsy, poor and low class in children below teenager.

I had my ears pierced when I was 10.
My mum found that was the right age.
I am still happy about it.
My little girl wanted her ears pierced at the age of 7. I said; ok. But she took them out for 4 days and the piercings closed again.
She says she will wait till she is 12 or so to have her ears pierced again. She would have lost them anyway, just like her sportshoes, her bracelet, her pencilcase, etc.

(a) whether you believe that your daughter has the right to choose what happens to her body and by piercing her ears as a baby she has no choice in the matter - I was 18 when I got mine pierced and it didn't hurt too much, and using surgical spirit twice a day on the openings kept infection at bay until they healed.

(b) in the culture where your daughter is living - how are earrings on young children perceived? Its definately a 'chavvy' thing in the UK - goes with the Croydon Facelift look and 12-year olds with baby buggies.

I just twigged that in the UK wearing all your bling is considered incredibly low class, but here its considered a good thing and people feel sorry for you if you're not decked out in 'all your gold' - that's wierd and I haven't quite got my head round it yet.

In the UK, hanging washing out to dry on the balcony is very low class, here its completely normal.

PS I just wanted to say that dont assume if she decides when she's older that she doesn't want the piercings the holes will heal up. I went something like 10 years without ever wearing ear rings (after they'd been pierced a few years) and the holes never healed up.


PPS - this will be a controversial thing to say but where do you draw the line in a society's conventions regarding ear-piercing, circumcision and FGM? They are all mutiliations of the body often when they are too young to have any say in it.

---

hanging the washing out on balcony there is the only option Lol here mainly some are lucky to get a garden but i can remember growing up you used to use a line from one end of the house roof to the other side of the street to another house and hang your washing out there some places in england up north you can still see it .But with the migrant workers here in Uk and fluctation of immagrants and high flats being built we seeing the washing hanging out over the balconys before long we have our own little egypt here
Mwahahaha yah no wat a mean innit

as for the piercings, i only get red ears tina if i wear cheap earrings from like, claires or something, so i stick to silver. i dont like gold...had tons of it when i was married and let him take it all back. i think yellow is a damn ugly color and it just looks too tacky. silver is more feminine and sweet.
i got my belly button pierced last august in wildwood new jersey and the bitch didnt heal yet. probably cuz i keep wearing long dangly ones that get caught on my shirts and stuff and . people keep saying to wear a ball during the day and keep the fancy ones for night or outings but they are just too darn sexy i can resist.
its a little red, dont hurt, but is bugged from the everyday tugging.
plus, 2 weekends ago, dude pulled on it with his teeth and it hurted

Silver is prettier.
So, what do people think about male piercings? Personally, I don't think I can take a man seriously if he had an earring (or you get some with both ears done, arghgh).

I had my ears pierced first at 12. Actually, I have three piercings in my left ear: second came when I passed all my exams at uni after my first year, third ... I did it myself in the middle of the night because I felt like it.

And I don't like men with earings. Erm, no matter where... (perhaps I can stand one in the brow.)

Sorry girls but I have to say that in some parts of the UK, it is actually common for a baby to have its ears pierced. I got my ears pierced when I was a baby. Its traditional in the African, Indian, West Indian communities to pierce a girl's ears early. I remember that my favourite earrings were little butterfly studs.

I don't see anything wrong with it as for my community, its something of a tradition and one of those rites of passage. However I agree that for me, silver looks classier and it suits my colouring better.

The issue I have with piercing a babies ears is that you are hurting your little child for no reason other than your own pleasure. It certainly isn't for her, because she has no idea what is going on, and wont even care about the earrings for quite a few years. Seems like a silly reason to hurt someone, just because it might look cute to some.

I view male circumcision like that (okay forget about the pleasure part here) but not exactly ear piercing.

Then again I let my daughter decide when she wanted to get her ears done - which was just this summer. She said the very quick procedure hurt a little bit (unfortunately I had a much different experience 25 years ago) - and now she wants literally each week a new pair of earrings. She is very proudly wearing them.

I think their are many parents in the world who think that they have the right to deform their children in the name of 'beauty'

I see children dressed in ridiculous shpaed shoes in the name of fashion for eg.and I have seen children wearing both expensive and cheap jewellery.

It appears there are many people who want their children to stand out and look trendy, pretty or even older but in reality I just see parents seriously making young children looking ridiculous.

Children should look like children... not only do earrings look very tacky regardless of their expense they are not very safe if a child is running around in a playground with friends! Even on the practicl side I think they are stupid

Just my opinion though.

And yes, I do also think they look like mini chavs... you may as well tattoo love and hate on their knuckles and give them a borstal spot

In my culture, baby girl / children's ears aren't pierced because it makes them look pretty. When you have a child there are certain ceremonies that you go through, just as the first time you cut their which again has to be done at a certain age. I think that there was probably a reason for it initially and more of a ceremony but now its just done.

Oh and I dare anyone to tell a West Indian that their child should have a choice about elements of their upbringing and see the reaction you get... Once they stop laughing.

And people, can we please get the definition of a chav right. It's not that difficult!!!!

Wearing big hoop earrings by themselves doesn't automatically make one look like a chav. Big earrings apart from being a symbol of the eighties, are also a current emo / rock chick / indie / Shoreditch / hip hop look. To look like a chav you need to be completely dressed like one, be possible chewing gum in a bovine way and have a vacant kinda look. Though to be honest, to be chav is more of an attitude. For example Prince Harry is often described as being a royal chav because of the way he acts.

Lady Ferret - Um a borstal spot is an old fashioned prision tattoo and Love and Hate is associated with skinheads. Tattoos aren't really synonymous with chav culture. Depending on who is wearing them and the style, they can mainly be a sign of being working class which is different from being a chav.

And in my neck of the woods jewellery from Argos.. generally big nasy hoops make you look like a chav. You may not BE one but you LOOK like one lol...

Borstal spots are very chavvy... in fact all indian ink tattoos are chavvy. Just becasue the word is new it doesn't mean chavs didn't exist prior.

Also see pikey, scratter, scrubber, scutter, stig and Ned These are all words that have described chavs in my town over the years...

Where I am from if you live on a council estate you are a chav... the rules are quite simple lmao

Q.What do you call 16 chavs in a mini?
A.Innit
The plague that is spreading across the UK. The male Chav is typically stick thin, with hips wider than his shoulders, short red or blonde hair plastered with obscene amounts of gel, and a deformed mug which looks at least a decade beyond his years. He decks himself in cheap flammable sportswear, white trainers, and a cap which is usually far too large for his pin-head.

The Chav hag is usually obscenely overweight and grotesquely ugly. She decks herself in tracksuits that resemble pajamas. She think's that she's "hot" and thus pulls her thongs up to her 40-inch waistline.

Above all, the Chav is notable for it's bizarre form of speach. Resembling something between gollum and a mentally retarded infant. Though the Chav possesses great knowledge of expletives, it's vocabulary is otherwise limited.

Chavs can often be found lurking outside the local chippy, in children's play areas, at bus shelters, and in pub car parks.
Typical conversation of two chavs.

Chav Turner: Alrite? I was down the pub the uva nite rite, had a fite, had some wite lite, took a shite.

Chav Jason: You is well ard innit!

What made you pick your name? It certainly is an unusual choice. I laughed earlier because I was shocked that you choose it and its being used so openly. But I think that in hindsight, potentially some people might get upset though I'm not too familiar with the board. Perhaps you should change it?

When i am ready not when you say its not offended so far or are we good and proper little missy .
Ok you think of a name for me ..

Good and proper isn't something that immediately springs to mind when my friends think of me (at least I hope not). Re-reading my post, it does come across as being a bit authoritarian and not what I intended. Change your moniker when you want. If people aren't offended then continue to rock with it - you'll be a better judge of that than me and when the time is right if its necessary.

Just my 2 cents (and not an order) - if you do change it, something else in patois would be cool. I would be curious to see what else you would choose.
