See im a bit of both like I think its really sad that the baby gets hurt. But at the same time at least the wont remember the pain.

I no and the baby looked about month old really tiny 🤦🏻♀️x
sophie ··
ah thats sad. I just think if they want to do it fine but don't get it done at claires get it done by an actual piercing place. And piercing places turn down babies so that just says something.

I got my ears done when I was 7 and then again at 9 (they closed up) and don't remember the pain at all :)

I got mine done while i was at college and nearly passed out 😂
They got infected so i took them out and decided ille keep my ugly ears 😂.
Personally i wouldn't get my childrens ears done as a baby. I think 5 upwards if they ask i would consider. No judgement to those who do though. X

It’s one of the many parenting debates 😂 Sophia asked me for a year and I was like no. Then she asked her dad and he text me to see if it was okay and I said well she keeps asking so fine go on. She said it was okay they were well looked after and a few months later he got her new earrings went to take them out and she screamed the place down. This was 8 months later btw so he took one out and she didn’t want him touching her ears so when she was asleep he took the other one out. I did say well if she didn’t move you should have put the new ones in but obviously men don’t think. They closed up and she’s upset and wants them done again 😂😂 I have a few piercings and I’m not against piercings but I think you know when’s right for your child. I always said if she asks a few times I would and she asked for a year and watched videos and still wanted them done xxx

Lol I love this!. Oh dear 😂🙈! Well I don’t see nothing wrong as end of day she’s asked you for it so it’s her own choice 👌👍🏻. I just think when there babies they don’t know or understand and might not even want them done when a bit older could say I hate my piercings lol x
Cheryl ··
I agree! I cried when she got her injections lol however I always said once she asks after a few times I’ll let her xxx
Danielle··
well I think she’s at age nothing wrong with that 👍🏻🤗x

To me it’s not about pain
And it’s not about getting them done when they can’t remember
Typically ear piercings don’t hurt if done correctly ( especially in the lobe area)
It’s probably the click of the gun that shocks them more than anything
But also guns are unhygienic and can damage the ear which is why the infection risk is greater
Also I think it’s important that they get to choose if they want their ears done or not.
Also Claire’s is not a professional piercing place... anyone with little training or first timer can do it. Heck I could buy a gun myself and do it.
A professional piercer would never use a gun
A professional piercer uses needles
And they won’t pierce babies
So if Maya’s going to get hers done. It’s going to be with a needle and nothing else

Totally agree I just I don’t like but I don’t turn my nose up at people who have got children that had it done I just think what If when they a bit older and say I didn’t want my ears done mom you know I think when they can ask you is best as then it’s their choice x

I agree my mum got mine done 8 times and every time they went infected and i remember the pain vividly and i remember being oined down to get them out because the scabbing was unbelievable each time🤷♀️ ill not get them for mia unless she wants them done when she is older x

Amelias 4 and wants them done even after watching videos but I’m to nervous about getting them done at Claire’s and other piercing places won’t allow till there 12 🤷🏼♀️ so I keep having to turn her down at the moment 🥺
