I'll do it. For free. lol

I would think any of the piercing studios would be able to do it. 

I did search and I'm aware of the USO. But I want to know has anyone taken their child to a piercing place off base. I prefer piercings without those horrible guns. 


I've actually never seen it done any other way. 

I'm also interested in this. We got my daughter's pierced when we were home, but had to take them out for CDC since we couldn't find screw post earrings that didn't cost $100. They closed and now we want to get them redone.

I haven't heard this rule! My 2 year old has her ears pierced and she doesn't have the screw post earrings. However, I was able to find some on Amazon for about $30. 

Anyone else wait until their daughter is old enough to decide on their on? Just curious as I know some people wait and some will have infants' ears pierced.

It'd be pierced just like other body piercings - with a needle. It's supposed to be a lot better than the gun...those things are scary! 

I think babies should have their ears pierced as soon as they're born. 

And by babies, I mean girls. Then you can always tell them apart. 

M - you should just go into the place outside Gate 1 by Asian Red Tattoo. They're close enough that it's not too out of the way in case they say no. 

BWAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!! 

Oh, shut it. 

Thanks for your insight. I am asking because my daughter has asked to get her ears pierced for her birthday.

Cool. My daughter still doesn't have hers done and hasn't asked about it and she's 10.

They told me it was for infants only because it's a choking hazard if the backing falls off. It's understandable I guess. All of the ones we found on Amazon that she can wear are like $100. She has really sensitive skin.

My parents had mine done when I was a baby and I don't see the big deal. If you don't want earrings, you just let them close or don't wear them. It's not like a tattoo or something really hard to hide. I'll be sure to consult you on all future parenting decisions though.

Chi, I was only asking if anyone had waited...never said doing it was wrong just asking...your consultation comment is just an attempt to stir shite up...geez...relax. 

My parents waited until I asked for pierced ears.

I got mine done at age 6. Then double pierced at age 9. Then a third on one side at 13.

My cousin was always so jealous...she wasn't allowed to get hers pierced until she was 16 (so mine were double pierced before she got hers done once.) 

We pierced our daughters ears shortly after they were born.

Mine were done at 4 and I wish my parents would have waited...never wear earrings. 

Mine where done in the hospital. I have a twin brother so the doctors thought it would be easier on my parents to tell us apart. I would have thought the genitals would have been a dead give away but thats me.. Silly German hospitals. Anyways I hate to wear earrings they driving my ears NUTS

M i'm down with going with you, I want my nose done.. A cute little stud.. Yet if i get a little zit on my nose i go crossed eyed so it might not be such a great idea. hummm

I literally LOL'd.

True story..I was 2 days old when I got some me some pretty little earrings... I still have those earrings too.. 

Did they not realize that 1, the genitals would be a huge giveaway, and 2, it's not like your parents were going to dress you in identical pink dresses or in identical sailor suits-so they shouldn't have an issue even when you were clothed?

lol. I can only imagine what was going on in the doctors minds.... 

Exactly, Nikki. I'm just not sure if the shops here have rules about children or if I can just walk in with my daughter.


SHop 58 allows children, but i have no idea if she does earpiercing on a kid or not. we took my friend to get a piercing when i went to get my tongue repierced, we just sat with them in the waiting area. i've never seen a shop anywhere that minded kids being up front. i'd just walk in and ask.. they're not too far down there. 

i got mine done the first time at 7 for my birthday, a second set aqt 9, and at 13 i got a third on both sides when my mom went to get a second. i did the single one on my right ear up top myself, with my friends piercing kit. guns are inadvisable on cartilage, and i see why, it took forever to heal up right. it rips up the cartilage a lot more than just a needle.

i'm pretty sure your asking was like
I really really really want my ears pierced with some feet stomping, and hair pulling door slamming fit.. lol
OH and I want a BRA too, all my friends have them so I want one.

I was the youngest so I didn't have to do any of that. I just smiled.

Heck, I just recently started needing one of those.

NIce, so no whinny voice, I really really want them done? Or is that the middle child who does that..
I was the youngest too, and only girl.. Apparently the doctors thought my parents had never seen a girl before, so earrings it was.. 

Heck, I just recently started needing one of those. 

Me too..
