Meh, pretty much beginner's stuff.



Me, I am completely shaven with tattoos of lightning bolts reaching up to my belly button, springing from a full colour tattoo cleverly incorporating my private parts of a hammer-wielding Thor, God of Thunder.

1979. Carter, Iran hostages, Desert 1, the world going to hell in a handbasket. My 6 year old daughter wanted ear-piercing. "All the kids at school...", etc. "No" sez I, "It's my job to deliver you intact, educated, unmarked, into adulthood. When you turn 18, if you still want it, I'll pay for it and buy you pretty earrings."

Ha! Wifey filed for divorce later in the year, and took both the 6 yr old and the 18 month old to get ears pierced, and marched them both to my office to show Dad (and serve the divorce papers). Ya think ya know people... so I agree with drone.

Who the **** pierces the ears of a 6 yr and 18-month-old? For crying out loud, why not get them some tramp stamps while you're at it?

I know quite a few parents that got their daughters' ears pierced early. Not sure about 18 months though. I would probably go for piercings when they get a drivers license, and no earlier.

And you can't put tramp stamps on at that age. The skin will stretch and grow unpredictably as the kid gets older, you can't guarantee the integrity of the shape. Duh!
