Rejected petition Make it illegal to allow parents to get their children's ears pierced.

In the UK parents are allowed to get their children's ears pierced from as young as 2 months old (after the baby's first tetanus vaccination)

I think it should be illegal to get children's ears pierced until they are of a mature age to make the decision them self.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure what age you would like young people to be able to have their ears pierced. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
