All you need to know about Kids piercings
Kids piercings is a tradition that has been in many families for generations. It can be an event that many parents look forward to, however, the debate on when you should get your child’s ears pierced comes up time and time again. This guide will help answer some of the key questions you may have about piercing your children’s ears.
What is the appropriate age to get my child’s ears pierced?
It is more common for girls to get their ears pierced when they are young, and boys when they are slightly older. It can be an event that many parents look forward to, however age is no restriction at Keen on Piercing.
When choosing earrings, what metal is best?
Surgical grade steel or Titanium earrings are the safest options when getting your ears pierced. Why? Because this metal doesn’t contain any nickel or alloys that may cause an allergic reaction. Allergies to nickel and cobalt are very common, so it is advised that you avoid earrings that contain these metals.Â
It is important that you ask what the earrings are made of before causing unnecessary possible comfort to your child whilst wearing them.
The shape of the earring is important too. While there are some more fun studs available, depending on the age of your child, you may be better off choosing something smaller and simple for the first set so that they are easier to clean and less likely to catch on their clothing.
