@Waiting on him PS: It's the tattoo that usually comes at around 18; the ear piercings usually precede it, don't they?
Age for first ear piercings?

I sure didn't. Mary-something or other told me that I was interjecting into threads. If I have been doing that, and it is wrong . . . I will never do it again. Not only that, but I will duly apologize.
@2nd Timothy Group No harm in voting in the poll, above, which I started... No apologies necessary here...
Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!

I worded it like I did because the "language of scripture" is interpreted differently by different people for most any verse that anyone regularly quotes. When two or more are in conflict the only fair and final arbiter is God Himself. When people say on here they agree to disagree, that may halt the argument of the moment, but it does not solve it to the satisfaction of every man.
2 years old?
Just kidding!
No I still haven't voted
10, 11 maybe? If we are talking about ear piercings, I think girls usually get them quite young
@Josho PS: If the poll had been specifically about boys'/men's ear piercing, I reckon the average age would be higher, right?
(Leaving aside whether you would ever have considered it, I reckon you would in theory have only considered it when older than when a lot of girls typically have it done.)

@Josho I don't know about Australia but in North America also it's also customary for boys - when they have it done - to do both ears, even though when boys did it years ago it started off mainly being one ear only.

And possibly a sizable portion of American pastors' wives have committed adultery, and likely the pastors themselves, and their children also partaken if premarital sex.
Your citing of scripture to justify the following and practice of worldly fashion by Christians lies flatter than roadkill and likely twice as messy. It must be over 20 threads now on this forum that you have extolled the virtues of ear rings, tattoos, cosmetics, "Christian" rock, and fashionable dress.
I may get into trouble for saying this, but it needs to be said. I'm calling you out. Your constant promoting and extolling the fashions and practices of the world among God's people reminds me of Balaam giving Balak counsel to induce the Israelite men to bring pagan women into the camp. You are no different. I do not see you encouraging God's people to holiness, but quite the opposite. I do not see any of this as harmless, regardless of how popular it is. Premarital sex is also popular.
What saddens me is the number of members here who seem for the most part to be going along with and agreeing with your promotional threads. Personally I think it needs to stop for it has no place on a Christian forum... But hey, I'm not a moderator and have no say or input into forum policy. So I guess this is a far as this will go, but I have now vented.

Haha . . . I really don't have any opinion on the matter. It wouldn't bother me if a person pierced a day old baby or if they never had a piercing to begin with. But, I'll check out the poll. Maybe I missed the option I just gave. Thanks for the reminder! :)

@2nd Timothy Group So maybe if you tell us what it is, it could even be included into the poll as an extra poll response?Unfortunatley, what I believe isn't an option.

Haha . . . very cool. How about "None of the Above," or, "It Does Not Matter."
I only offer this in the same light as Paul discusses New Moons and Festivals.
Colossians 2:16-17 NLT - "So don't let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality."
As you know, I relate nearly all Biblical matters to the Doctrine of Circumcision of the Heart. I say this because I believe that this is the greatest event that a person could ever hope for, the lifting of the Curse of Adam and Eve. Beyond that, nothing else really matters. I hope this makes sense! :)
