I got mine done when I was 10, as a Christmas present. I think I remember one got infected but the other didn't, although eventually it healed and I got to change them for some prettier ones (had started out with just silver studs I think).

we use tee-tree oil on them 2 times a day if they are red, but usually once a day or once every 2 days if they are all good.

I think they look very nice. Real cute! To be honest, I would probably do the same. I was mad keen to get my neices done from about 6 months, but my bro wouldn't let me. I really wanted to get them done, so i could buy her diamond studs for her 1st birthday (screw backs, so she wouldn't lose them)... terribly indulgent, i know, but I work at Michael Hill, and I get a fanastic discount... Anyhow, her other aunty sneaked her to get them done without my bro knowing, and they were fuming! She was about 2 or so, and they have had lots of problems with them, cos she won't let anyone clean them or change them. She is nearly 5 now, and they wish hshe had had them done when she was little... (long winded blather, that post was...)

I think we will wait until Charlotte is about 14- just because kids are so active and the thought of another toddler ripping at them scares me to bits! I figure kids usually calm down a bit at around 14ish- they stop playing tag in the playground etc and then its also her choice and lets her get excited about it and makes it a treat.
I have also found over here that its a real cultural thing- only the gypsies/travellers tend to have them.
But like everyone else has said, its up to the parents- if you love them and you're ok with it thats what matters!

How sweet
I was 3 when I got mine done, it took over an hour to get them done apparently i hated it, but at 10 i went ahead and put holes gallore in my ears.
Im not sure as to when I want to do HAleighs I might wait till her 5th birthday that way her ears wouldve grown alittle more and they wont look as funny later on. but I have friends who got their kids ears done when they were 1 i dont think i could hold haleigh long enough
