Those Mnetters who have no problems with very small children having ears pierced.....

[Blandmum]

.....how would you feel about them having nn eyebrow or nose done or a belly button, or even a tattoo?

Thats ok, yes she was rude and made assumations about people who pierce their child, but its just proved to me what I already knew, some people are so blinkered, and on their high horse. I just am glad that I don't know her in RL, she wouldn't like me anyway, what with my piercings and tattoos (which were all done after I was 16 BTW except my earrings which were done when I was 12)

At work I have had to un-hitch enough jumpers and dressing up clothes from earings to ever consider getting a childs ears pierced. To easy to get caught on stuff and not something a child should have to worry about, as for adults pierce what you like thats up to you but not for kids. My DD will have to use stick ons or clip ons untils she is at least 16 .

I meant to say working in nurseries and schools.
