The desire to pierce your ears and give earrings to your daughter is understandable. But you shouldn't do it at an early age, experts warn.

It turns out that everything is not so simple, and the reasons are not only hygiene.

Why you shouldn’t rush to pierce your children’s ears, writes the publication “ Vechernyaya Moskva ” with reference to experts.

Gun or needle

Few people know, but at an early age a needle is preferable, since the gun does not pierce the earlobe due to its design, but tears the tissue.

Yes, the gun works quickly and is less painful, the child does not have time to get scared, but the wound after it takes longer to heal.

Age

In this case, there seem to be no strict criteria.

But cosmetologists advise waiting for a conscious decision, that is, when the child can understand that the procedure is painful.

And after piercing, children's ears hurt for several days, but they don't admit it. In addition, there is a risk that earrings can get caught on clothing, which can be painful.

Age-related changes

Perhaps this is the most important thing.

You should not pierce your ears in early childhood because it can negatively affect acupuncture points (eye point, tonsils, inner ear).

In adulthood, there is a greater chance of determining the center of the earlobe.
