17. It's somewhat a generational thing. My mom (now 88) still doesn't
understand why anyone would want to put holes in their ears (or anyplace else). I'm 58 and never got around to doing it, either - though I have no problem with it. My own daughter waited until she turned 17. She's just squeamish, but I told her to let me know when she was ready. I think tattoos - which were considered the province of sailors when I was growing up - are where ear piercing was a couple of generations ago - becoming widely accepted (and no big deal) by the masses.
