my daughter got hers at 11. about 3 weeks after i explained it all to her, i knew it was coming soon because she suddenly had the need for a bra.
as for ear peircings...be careful where you take her, the best spot, beleive it or not is usually a tattoo/peircing place. sounds a bit too grown up but the reason why is because all the equipment on hand will FOR SURE be sterilized. the peircers are trained to know how to do it best and they have to have a certificate in blood born pathogens and alot of training. the entire work area is medically sterilized(not like salons who often use lysol wipes) after each person, they will use a sterile needle most likely and not a gun. the guns are often not sterilized in stores or salons and can spread disease or infection. a tattoo shop is routinely inspected for health and safety so they make sure to keep everything clean because they never know when someone is going to drop in with a blue light and look for germs. salons/jewellery stores are not and often have young untrained people doing the peircings. they also have to have an autoclave on site to pre-sterilize everything themselves instead of depending on peircings pre-sterilized in japan or who knows where.
