I got all my kids ears pierced for their second birthdays simply because it looked so cute and i could buy new things each yr for pressies. (silly i know )
I remember being young myself and wanting my ears pierced, my dad was dead set against it, said if you were meant to have holes in your ears youd be born with them.
My mam finally talked him around for my 11th birthday.
I dont have issues either way, but if there was a debate i guess id have to agree that people should be left to make their own choices and not have the option removed as a child by their parents xxx
