c/o SuiciDeaDoll, these piercings are on a six year old, by Sylvahnna in Bikini Tattoo in Fuenlabrada (Madrid, Spain). If you had a child, what age would you permit them to get a piercing at if they seriously wanted it? At what age can they make the decision?

My parents would not allow even an ear piercing until I turned 12. That was my birthday present. I was limited at only a few ear piercings until I turned 18. The age where I could legally sign for myself to get more modifications. I believe that my parents were truly reasonable with that. After the age of 18, I could not blame them later by saying, “why did you let me do something like that?!” By making me wait until I was 18, that made me and only me responsible.
So, when and if I have kids, it will probably be the same deal.
Man i want an eyebrow ring soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad but im scared itll migrate
You gotta consider other cultures that pierce and tattoo young children as a rite of passage. I don’t consider it immoral or irresponsible, if the child understands the risks and responsibility involved.
I don’t mind the idea that she has piercings, but to me and eyebrow and a monroe seem like bad ideas as a child. The eyebrow would probably reject as she grows and gets older, and well, an oral piercing when you’re six seems impossible to care for. But if I saw the parents and the child, I wouldn’t yell at them, I’d think it’s adorable. I’m not even sixteen yet and I’ve had about a dozen piercings. Seven lobe piercings at age 14; Five removed, two being stretched. And also at 14 my Lip twice, septum, and an antieyebrow. And 15 a labet. So I don’t think age is a big deal. As long as you know what you’re doing to your body, and know how to take care of it, it’s all fine and dandy. But I will stick with being six is far too young for those piercings.
i think that kids sould be able to make their own decisions seeing as they will learn from their own mistakes. let them learn for themselves what they actually do and do not want. if they want a piercing. it is better to let them get it while their younger (15 years old) so they can get it out of their system and once they get older, they may not want it anymore or may not think that its cool anymore. and by then, they will have to get a job… i mean a job that will last them for the rest of their lives. and who cares. u could take the piercing out if u were going anywhere that important. i think that some parents just dont want to let their kids get a piercing because they are afraid of what their friends/co workers/family might say about it and will critisize you for it and make u look bad. thats rediculous. its not your body. its your childs. and like i said. i think thhat the kids should learn from their own mistakes.

i think kids should be allowed to get piercings.
Lo mas interesante, es que esta chica(sylvahna) no posee un equilibrio adecuado de sus facultades mentales, por lo tanto la irresponsabilidad total viene de parte de los padres.
Es mas esta chica tiene sida por lo que no se lo que hace trabajando en un estudio haciendo ciertos trabajos.
Mira “Marta”, me parece muy estupido tu comentario, no se quien eres, y punto numero uno, lo del sida me parece que te lo has inventado, porque me hago la prueba cada año dos veces, tengo papeles que lo demuestran. Si me conoces acaso para decir algo sobre mi mente dime quien eres porque creo que no tienes ni idea y simplemente seras un intento de algo sin sentido. Esta niña, como toda su familia eran mis clientes habituales y estoy muy orgullosa de la foto como de mi trabajo. Espero tu respuesta “Marta”.
Seven. I understand I’d be doing the majority of care.
I think the children needs freedom they can do every thing but under the parents restraction blew 18 year old
I think piercings on kids are fine if they want it and are able to take care of the piercing. Having said that, I’d like to add my thoughts about safe piercings. I think for kids a larger gauge ear piercing (perhaps 12ga to 2 ga) is safer since it is less likely to get torn or ripped. I shudder at the thought of kids with hair-thin dangling wires in their ears which are prone to ripping.
Also kids get dirty very quickly so piercings that are exposed to the surface are prone to infection. I think that ears and tongues (maybe even nipples and navels) are OK for younger kids but nostrils, eyebrows, and other facial piercings are not.
i got my labret piercing when i was 12 but i wanted 1 when i was like 10 im 15 now and i have 5 piercings and 00 ears i think it all depends on maturity
i am 18 years old, and i live in phoenix arizona. i my opinion i think that a child should be able to make decisions about their appearance as soon as they can do so rationally. whether it is about a peircing, down to the books they read and the style of clothes they wear. i persons personality dovelops based on their freedom and the things they are surrounded by. as for the opinion that a child will do what they want anyway, my parents came to terms with that when they found out i did my own prince albert at 16.
