Will you pierce your son's at birth or while he is a baby?
Single pierce
Both ears
-
Mr. Bird's are not, but I've tried to encourage him to
we won't be piercing anything on our children even though I like the look of piercings (on men & women)
-
No. But I won't pierce my baby girl's ears either. No pierced ears for anyone until they are old enough to ask for it and take care of it themselves.
-
No. We will wait until he asks (if he asks).
-
Is this like a tradition or something? I've nerve heard of this. I thought the only reason guys had pierced ears was because they got them when they were older.
-
For any kid, I'd wait until they ask for it to get it done. I don't like piercing babies, but I don't have an age limit for them to be if they're asking.
As far as what ears, I'll let them decide.

@T.H.O.U.: i know many little boys with pierced ears, it's not uncommon.
-
@T.H.O.U.: I wonder if its a regional thing, because I've never heard of it either. I can't name one pre teen boy with pierced ears.
-
@T.H.O.U.: I've never hear of this either.
@mrs. bird: what regions do you know that traditionally do this?
-
@T.H.O.U.: I don't think it's a tradition. My husband pierced his ears when he was a young teen. The holes have since closed due to a bad reaction with a pair of fake metal earrings when he was a late teen. We don't have any plans to pierce our son's ears before they express a desire to do so. I went to school with a little boy with pierced eats in 3rd grade. Nowadays I know many guys with both ears pierced.

I've seen it a lot with little girls, but never little boys.
-
I've never seen little boys have pierced ears! I've only seen it on teenagers and men. Do people do cartilage piercings anymore?
-
My DH has one ear pierced. He doesn't wear an earring anymore. I won't pierce any future boy's ears. I also wouldn't do it for a girl either.
-
I guess I meant more of doing it as a baby or toddler. I don't even think I would let a boy do it unless it became a big issue.
-
@Crystal: i live in an urban area in the northeast. it's certainly not as common as baby girls with pierced ears, but common enough that i don't think twice about seeing it.
-
@mrs. bird: interesting!
I've seen teenage + boys, but not usually young boys. And that's saying something, because I am near LA!
-
@mrs. bird: I've tried encouraging my husband too, but he would NEVER get piercings. I think a diamond stud in each ear would look so good! I won't be piercing DD's ears until she is old enough to ask and take care of them on her own.
-
@sweet_p: your baby girl is sooo cute!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thank you!! I should update that picture. She was only 4 weeks then and just turned 2! Time is flying by too fast
-
@mrs. bird: yep I see a lot of this too (Boston), lots of little fellas with pierced ears
