I got mine done in 1st grade, but I had to beg my mom, so that made it feel like I had accomplished something . She would say "are you sure? you know its going to hurt and you'll have to take care of them".
She made sure I knew the weight of my decision and I think it was good that way.
Re: DD asked to get her ears pierced yesterday
i was 4 when i asked to get mine done and i took care of them (with a little help from my mom). it's really not that bad...
at least she's not asking for a belly button piercing or a tattoo...
