When I was a kid I wanted my ears pierced and always asked my mom and her answer was always not until you are 16.
When I was nine I went to live with my dad and he asked if I wanted my ears pierced. I said yes but mom said I had to wait until I was 16. He laughed and asked me again, "do you want your ears pierced?" I said yes and he and my step mom took me the next day.
Six months later I was back with my mom and she was livid!!

I waited until my daughter asked to have hers done. She was 6. We let her pick her earrings and she was thrilled. She cried a little when it was first done, and she almost didn't let them do both ears, but when we said ok to her not getting the second ear done until later she flipped out and said do it now I don't wanna be lopsided! lol
