I think one lobe piercing in each ear under the age of 12 is fine, because I had mine pierced when I was 3 days old razz
But anything else, the kid should be over the age of 12/13 and warned of the infections that may occur, and the dangers etc...

ear piercing, for children is fine, I remember having mine done when I was 8 or so and it made me feel like I was grown up, so I can totally agree with that, as far as anything else goes, I do think there needs to be age limits, I think a person should be able to decide b4 18, but I don't know what that limit is, and I don't think its the same for every one, but certainly not anyone under 13... thats too young to know how a tattoo or piercing scar will affect you're life later on (say the kid grows up to want to be in bussiness, or religion something like that might hinder them, however unfair it might be) I had my eyebrow done at 15 my mom gave permission as a birthday present, and it was great but I got my first tattoo at 13, it was a terrible idea, it was done by my friend, another 13 year old and I could have gotten an infection, or worse... luckily I was fine and after I turned 18 and had it elaborated it looks better than ever...

If you get a body modification before your body has hit it's major growth spurts it is likely to end up in a different place than where it was originally pierced.

A person must have an understanding of what they are getting into. Kids don't know the social reprecussions that a body mod could have on their life or be able to process what kind of hinderance it could have on them in the future.

I'm 16 and have been wanting the tattoo I now have, sense 5th grade (no joke) The thing is I don't think a person should get anything until they're 17 or 18 becuase some things are permanent and will indeed last forever. So when your older and you got something done as a kid you'll probably regret it.

I guess it's a case of "I want to be like Daddy." I mean, my boyfriend might be a tattoo artist, and I might be working on piercings but that doesn't mean I'm going to give my child a piercing and he will not give my child a tattoo. A piercing is kinda different. Tattoos are permanent. But a piercing, traps an infection if taken out and healed.
Tattoos take a long time to decide on, and piercings can get infected easily and depending on the minor...couldn't it take a really bad turn for the worse?

I see no problem with piercings, as they can be removed and allowed to heal up, but tattoos are a different story. I mean at 12 a kid can want a tattoo of a swastika because they don't know what it means. Imagine if they were to get that. It would be the worst decision of their life.
By the way, yes the picture is photoshop'ed, they used my friend on DA's photoshop brushes, but it seems that the kid does have his ears stretched.

Wow...
That's pretty much all I can say right now.
I agree with everyone else who has said it, if a kid is wanting his/her ears pierced when they are younger that is fine.
But I'm not about to let my kid go and get their belly or... Lower areas, pierced.
I'll allow them to get it done once they either 1) Move out of my house or 2) Become 16, 17 or 18.
Which ever comes first of the two.
Yeah they might not like the rule there but basically, my house my rules.
I hated that rule when I was living with my parent’s but I know that if they didn’t have that rule I would have gotten into a whole lot more trouble with then I did.
"It’s a good way for a minor to learn about their sexuality.”
Are you kidding me?
A kid who is younger then 15 doesn't need to be "experamenting" with their sexuality.
Period.
(Sorry if that age seems a lil “old” for people but I (willingly) lost my virginity when I was 13 and I regret it big time.)
I know that there are teenagers out there having sex (hell I was one of them) but I don’t think it is right for someone who is still a child to have a piercing in a place where it can be called a “sexual piercing”.
I’m sorry but this article pisses me off.

Sugrie That was slightly disturbing... Totally agree with what elwine said. And little kids are *so* easily influenced. Poor kid might gauge his ears, wake up one morning and be all "that was stupid" and possibly have to deal with scarring and fun stuffs like that. A few months ago, I was looking around the accessory store Claire's with a friend, when a little girl and her dad walked in. She couldn't have been more than 8 or 9. She wanted a nose piercing, and her dad seemed perfectly ok with it. They were sent over to a nearby tattoo parlor, and basically I was horrified that a father would let his young daughter get her nosed pierced. I like to ramble. 3nodding
"It is delightfully absurd
How one might take a left
Instead of a right
To end up crossing paths
Nose piercing and earlobe piercing go hand in hand in my opinion. if the piercings are part of a persons religion, and a person wants to have it done out of faith, what are we to say?
nose piercings started in the Middle East and made it's way to Africa and India. Women get them when they get married, and it is usually a sign of wealth. people say that it makes child bearing easier, and menstruation less painful. children are are often set into arranged marriages from the time of their birth, and are often married off very quickly, some as young as 5 years old.
nowadays, in more modern Middle Eastern and Indian culture, some women choose to get their noses pierced when they get married, while some young Indian and Middle Eastern girls choose to get their noses pierced when they feel ready. It's a steppingstone to womanhood, like getting a first bra.
If the girl just wanted it to look cool or something, that would be a completely different thing, unless she had though long and hard about it. but I doubt it could do any serious harm, especially if she has a parent's approval who can make sure she takes proper care of it, after all, it can always be taken out.

Now saying that I wonder how many adults out there are capable of making a informed social decision, body mods are mainly done in light of fashion.
Then again the child is nurtured by their parent and until they leave the fold, become an independent I don't think they have the mind set to make certain decisions, I was only allowed piercings at home because me and my parents came to a compromise, and the collateral damage caused could easily be removed.
First thing I did when I moved out was stretch my lobes, I think it was best. I'm not sensible and my priority are different to my 15 year old self.
I waffle.
