And the tot got her ears pierced BTW. She's technically 3 1/2, but who's counting right?! lol - Once there's a push for it, then if you're going to do it, might as well get it over w/. They grow up soooooo fast these days!! Who would've thought at the age of 3, there would be a pushing for pierced ears - ugh. But they are pretty though & just make her that much more girly....

There was a bet on me. Mom carried me different than my older sister so she was certain I was a boy. My aunt was certain I was a girl. If my aunt was right, Mom, my sister and I would all get our ears peirced. I was almost 3 months old. For a child I would recommend a piercing gun. Sorry Anji. A child moves around too much and if it takes too long to get it situated, they will move and your sharpie marks will mean nothing. Great blog site btw! I wasn’t really given the choice.

But I do know a lot about body modification and I implore you, PLEASE don't pierce your child's ears in a 'mall' or in Claire's Accessories or anywhere else than a reputable piercing shop and with nothing else than a proper piercing needle. Piercing 'guns' are horrible things. More information can be found <a href="http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Piercing_Gun" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
