Should i be concerned if my 4 year old wants her ears peirced, which is better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cosmetic decision: Pierced ears is a cosmetic decision, not a medical or health related matter. Almost 100% of girls and many boys get pierced. As long as her tetanus shots are up to date, there is very little risk of problems from pierced earlobes.
