Many mothers wonder when it is better to pierce their daughter’s ears: when she is little and does not understand that it can be painful, or later, when she asks for it. In fact, it’s best to wait until adolescence – and here’s why.
When should a girl wear earrings? Some parents pierce the ears of their infant daughters – to avoid unnecessary tantrums. Others wait until kindergarten or primary school age – usually at this time the girl herself asks for earrings. And still others think it’s best to wait a few more years. And in fact, it is their position that is most competent – in terms of health and aesthetics.
It’s not uncommon for women to have to wait for the piercings in their ears to fully heal in order to get new, more proper ones as they get older. And that’s good if it’s possible: after all, the holes often do not grow out completely or leave visible scars on the skin.
Piercers believe that the ideal age for deliberate ear piercing is 14 and older. Firstly, during this period the auricle is already more formed than in childhood. Secondly, it is at this age that a girl can decide for herself whether she should pierce her ears. After all, no matter what people say, wearing earrings greatly stretches the lobes. And over time, it gives real age even faster than hands, neck and cleavage.
