Around this age, many children begin developing the maturity needed to better understand the process, communicate their feelings, weigh their options, and participate in the decision to get pierced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003eWe believe children should be active participants in the decision - not simply brought in unexpectedly for a piercing.
