Child body piercing - how young is too young?

Child body piercing - how young is too young?

It's becoming more and more common for children to have body piercings - from ears to bellybuttons.

Have you let your child have any part of their body pierced? How young is too young for children to have "body art"?

    If you slap a child that's assault - a so should piercing be!
    There should be an age limit of at least 16 before any piercings are done.

    Any kind of body peircing is unnatural.

    It's a personal choice as are Tattoo's that should be left until the person can make-up their own mind....as neither are usually acceptable at school and often are rejected in later life...Why should parents enflick their own wish to decorate their children

    I feel it should be illegal until 16. They can start to make choices regarding education / work at that age so that is quite young enough. Remember there is always someone in the world that is a lot poorer than you but unfortunately todays generation of children don't see that they just look at the latest celeb trend or fashion or games console and expect it.
