boys getting ear pierced?

My son age 10 is asking to get his ears pierced. While I personally have no issue with it, times have changed a bit and I feel a bit out of touch, So which ear should he get done, or does it not matter anymore? I did alittle research and from what Im reading i think the left is the one to get done.

I always remember the saying:

Left is right and right is wrong.

But I don't think that applies anymore. Especailly since these days, guys/boys have both ears done.

I've seen boys with both ears done. I think it looks cool.

But I think it I would star with one side (the left).

Nah. I've seen plenty of kids with pierced ears who are around that age. He may just need a few reminders to take care of it and it should be fine.

First of all Chat Icon

Secondly, I don't see why it's okay for girls to get their ears pierced at 3 months but 10 years old for a boy is too young (whether you are kidding or not I am sure people think you are serious).

Thirdly, to the OP, hope it went well! Chat Icon

ha, i'm so out of it, i didn't realize that people even cared about what side anyone had their ears pierced anymore, i thought that was something from 20 years ago!

i would ask your son what side is 'ok' with his friends and see what he says. i would imagine he would know better than anyone right?

?

seriously? every innocuous statement i make is going to be scrutinized?

i seem to be at a disadvantage since i don't know your name but i can assure you it was just a harmless statement from 1 parent to another.


and to the op.

sorry i expressed my opinion on an issue you clearly didn't ask about.

glad your boy is happy.

Re: boys getting ear pierced?

I'm not a fan of earrings on boys or any man to be honest.
