The OP's daughter had hers put in at 15, which is probably not a bad age to get it, more or less; maybe about when you received yours?

Of course your bf likes it.
Got mine a little later when I was 16.

Well this is round about the appropriate age to have it; having a well healed, looked after and usable hole is often a sign of growing up thing, isn't it?

I hope you will both be blessed by the Scriptures! :)

11 is probably a bit young to have the procedure done, even if a girl has already started to want it; some parlors have age limits in any case.

@*Jesus Freak* Age 11 (see above) would be a bit young; I expect you are glad you waited until you received it when you did, whether or not mom and dad needed a bit of persuading to let you.
Mom and Dad wouldn't allowed me to get a belly button ring at the age of 11. Now Way. At 16 it did take a few times persuading my Dad to let me get it done, but it finally happened.

My daughter is 11. I trust her with my life. If she wants it, she can have it. Trust, love, God's guidance is very important.

Seems like your mom already realized a bit before your dad did how, if not absolutely necessary, it's something that is appropriate for a young lady to have put in who is on the way to being a grown up, anyway.

I think I mostly wanted one because many of my girlfriends were getting them. :)

Well, it's exactly what is done so widely at around that age; and if your dad didn't quite appreciate the idea at first, seems like your mom took less persuading to see your point of view.

.. it finally happened.
*Jesus Freak*: So do you think really it's best after all to treat such a thing in an undramatic, matter of fact way that is quite likely to happen in the course of events? Probably a bit how your mom regarded it.

I don't think parents should overreact to there child's request for something like this. If they do it is only going to make the child go out and sneak behind the parents back and try to do it themselves. Regardless, you get legally get it done on your own at I believe 18 anyway.

Instead of reacting there's maybe a case for embracing the event and sometimes even proactively making sure the daughter has it hygienically put in through a clean cut at a reputable, licensed parlor. (Do you feel you received a bit of an overreaction at least at first?)
