A mother has posted a video on TikTok where she explains that she let her 10-year-old daughter have her belly button pierced. Netizens were shocked…
Piercings on children have been debated since they exist, From what age can a baby’s ears be pierced? Is it recommended to do it early or not? Is it legal? Many questions remain unanswered around this subject. Some piercers agree to do it if very young children while others flatly refuse. Most of the time, they explain that they prefer to wait until the child is able to choose whether he wants to have his ears pierced or not.
A mum, Whitney Ainscough, has shared a video on TikTok where she shares why she let her 10-year-old daughter have her belly button pierced. On his account @itsmebadmommany people reacted to the video and commented… She made over 345,000 views! And opinions are really divided on the subject. The mom explained everything in her video.

A navel piercing for her 10-year-old daughter
In the video, the mother answers the question of a woman who asks her: “Why does your 10 year old daughter have a navel piercing?” So she replies: “Because I am his mother. I said she could. In the end, I am her mother, I take responsibility for everything she has done. It’s clean, it’s neat. I don’t see any problem with piercing the belly in a ten-year-old child.” But her opinion was not at all shared by the other mothers who commented on the video posted by Whitney.
In the comments under the video, we can read: “But do they have the right to pierce the navel of a child of this age?”, “My 10 year old daughter wants to do it but I told her no, it will surely not be before she is 13.” or “I remember asking my mother to have my lip pierced when I was 14 and today I still thank her for forbidding me to do it.” Most Internet users have therefore not really validated the navel piercing on a 10-year-old child, even if some have reassured the mother. With this video, parents were even hesitant to also accept for their young child!
