I'd like to have my daughter's ears pierced between 6 and 9 months of age. Could anyone recommend where to go in Cental London ?

No

OneLittleLady · 08/04/2013 21:54

er, don't mean to sound sound but are there actually places that are willing to do piercings on a child that young?

fridayfreedom · 08/04/2013 21:55

Oh dear, stand back!

Manchesterhistorygirl · 08/04/2013 21:55

We haven't had one of these for a while have we?

Gets popcorn.

Gets comfy.

I could tell you exactly where to go. But Linerunner put it so much better.

OneLittleLady · 08/04/2013 21:57

I meant sound rude not sound sound in my previous post Hmm

Why?!

Sirzy · 08/04/2013 21:58

Why do you want to get her ears pierced?

gwenniebee · 08/04/2013 21:59

Ooh, my first Biscuit, I think!

TheonlyWayisGerard · 08/04/2013 22:00

Ugh. How tacky.

FriggFRIGG · 08/04/2013 22:04

Holy crap, why would you willingly inflict pain on your tiny baby?
Put holes in her body?
For absolutely no reason?

She's perfect just how she is,why do you feel the need to put sparkly shit in her?!

Throughgrittedteeth · 08/04/2013 22:04

Oh blimey no idea. Biscuit have one of these though, its like a jammy dodger but its cheap and full of shit.

FriggFRIGG · 08/04/2013 22:04

Oh yes and have a Biscuit

UterusUterusGhali · 08/04/2013 22:06

Yuck.

Why would you put a metal spike through a baby's ear?
Does she have a say in this, or are you going to hurt her for your own aesthetic pleasure?

GooseEnthusiast · 08/04/2013 22:07

Nice.

Hmm

I did not mean to create a riot, sorry if I have offended anyone. My question was actually where to do it, not should I do it. That is called tolerance.

I was very young when I got my ears pierced, about 3, I really remember it and remember choosing the earrings I wanted. I have no idea why my mum decided to let me, but she is embarrassed about it now.
I genuinely thought you were a troll but after searching your name clearly you're not..
So I have no answer for why you would want to do this/ start this thread.

Throughgrittedteeth · 08/04/2013 22:13

OK, answering your question, I don't think you'll find many places that would be willing to do it. Ring around piercing places/ jewellery shops in your area, that's all I can suggest.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 08/04/2013 22:13

Why don't you wait and ask her if she wants holes in her ears? That'd be a great starting point.

shallweshop · 08/04/2013 22:13

Tolerance?? What about your baby's tolerance for the pain it will inflict!

gwenniebee · 08/04/2013 22:15

Is your dd teething yet? Mine yanks on her ears when she's teething and I think it would be awful if she had earrings in. Why not wait til she can choose for herself? It's one thing choosing your baby's clothes, but this a) hurts and b) is rather more permanent.

UterusUterusGhali · 08/04/2013 22:17

Your baby must be very tolerant indeed.

What kind of person would tolerate someone injuring their child for their own benefit?
