I was a kid who's parents were really strict about it and I ended up with a bunch early in college. I tried a different approach with my daughter, letting her get her first holes when she asked around 7 I think.
It was never a hill I was going to die on, piercings don't bother me much. I actually currently wear 3 per lobe, a cartilage piercing in one and my tragus on the other.
So, she had one in elementary, second in middle school, and then I lost track. By the end of HS, she probably had 4-5 per ear and her nose. She's soon to be 20 and has several more ear piercings.

I’m pretty sure one day soon she will come home from a sleepover with an extra hole in her head. Is it bad I’m secretly hoping she finds s rebellious streak and does that?
What?? Then just let her do it. Why make her suffer and wait for it if your secretly fine with her getting it. Your gonna wonder why she wont talk to you anymore once she turns 18
My son really really wanted to jump off the porch roof when he was about six. Just the low part; he saw his dad do it! Why make the kid wait when I'm going to be fine with it when he's man-sized, right?? I'm sure he totally hates me now that he has two intact ankles.

Just sayin... the second piercing maybe isn't a big deal. But at what point are you going to act like the adult and slow the kid's descent down that slippery slope?
Oh please!!!!!! Make sure she only wears skirts down to her heels too, and a chastity belt. What a ridiculous statement.

This is the track I’m taking. I don’t care at all about anything in her ears but want to step through those slow enough for her to develop enough maturity to serve her well by the time she’s making decisions about what’s after her belly button.
