Ear piercing

[Chengcab]

My daughter did her ear when she was less than 2 yo. After a few weeks waering it, she keep on pulling and we were afraid that it might hurt her so took them out. Now the holes has sealed up…So i advise parents not to do ear peircing when baby too young…thanks

LKVM, my DD1 asked for it when she was in pre-school. I even "postponed" the piercing cos kids that age lose interest very fast. Surprisingly, she was still asking about it months later. I even went to the point of telling her every painful and troublesome detail but she still wanted it. So in the end, she endured all the pain and trouble but she never once said that she regretted piercing her ears.

Same here. My DD likes it but now I’m having problem of conviencing her to change her earrings from studs to those loop ones…Probably fear of pain especially since the loop earring are curve and its harder to fix.

I usually change my dd's earrings after she sleeps. Less resistance & she doesn't feel the pain

I had mine done when I was in my early twenties cos I resisted when I was young. It wasn't painful at all. I was shopping at Raffles City and I saw a counter providing such a service. The lady used something like a stun gun and it's done in a few seconds. Guess it's better than being done in goldsmith shops (it was after hearing how they supposedly do it that I refused to have mine done). I'm not supportive of ear piercing and doesn't understand the rational but was told that all girls must have their ear pierced when they get married. :?

Piercing at such a young age will not be aesthetically pleasing later on, as the child's earlobes will still grow and change in shape, u might find the ear-hole moving up or to a weird position.


Although i myself have 3 ear-holes from my rebellious teenaged days (im a daddy btw LOL), i am now very discouraging of piercing.

Many nerves criss-cross our body, especially at our earlobes/ears. The piercing might influence the health/body in subtle ways we might not be so aware of. Just consult any TCM practicioner and they will share the same comments. From what i know, really traditional Indian people only pierce at places after consulting someone who knows Ayuvedra (is it spelt this way?).

Anyway, think about it, it's a bloody wound that's prevented from healing. To me, it's as \"beautiful\" as

Hi,


Can anyone pls advise where can I bring my DD to pierce her ears? She has been pestering me to do so. I need to pierce both ears at the same time, as I do not want her to regret and refuse to continue after feeling pain for 1 side.

Please share the cost, what are the earring range and price, and the exact location / shop name. Thanks so much for your effort.

I did mine 4 times in my life.

3 times at GP/family doctor.
Once before wedding at Far
East Plaza. Just one shot
with the gun and voila! All
done..

Jewellery shop does
ear piercing too.

Cost if i recall correctly
below 20 dollars, inclu
a small bottle of spirit.

Try Bedazzled, they do both together. Goldheart is one at a time n I believe most jewellers use this method.

Thanks, Bud. However, GP / family doctor cannot pierce 2 ears at the same time as they normally have 1 gun only. My DD only 5 so expect after the 1st shot
