I would not allow her. She is still pretty young, i would atleast wait till she was 16 for her to have a bit more of a mature opinion, and well tought opinion of what she really wants to do, ofcourse with your opinion.
After 18, and if not under your roof, she may do what she wants. But ofcourse, following your recommendations.

Does she already have her ears pierced? I really do not see any harm in double piercing but then again, if she was my 11 year old I would make her wait until she was a teen (just because lol). I would not let her get a cartilage piercing however. Not only are they very painful, they tend to get infected easier than a soft piercing (or whatever you call it when it in the lower part of the lobe just above where a first one would go).

No.. I really don't think you should, if you'll get her a phone AND this, she'll just be a brat or is one thinking she could get whatever she want's, it's one or the other, not both. And you should wait until she's older, I'm 15, and my parent's are barely letting me this year.

Many of my friends have 11 to 13 year old siblings and many of them have piercings, but it's your choice

I don't think there is a reason not too, I seriously doubt your child would regret it or anything. It's just a piercing not a life changing decision so I say let her decide and support her.

My ears were triple pierced when I was 9.. So go for it if she wants it. But i would probably only let her get one piercing at a time like I did though.

That's how old my mom let me... I have 7 now, & tats. She was cool with all of it & we're best friends still to this day. I've always told her every thing. Does she need a friend or parent more? Is she the leader & have good morals out of her group of friends? Does she follow what others do? If she needs a friend more cause she's strong minded, let her get em. Show her you reward her for her honesty.

Make her earn it. If you do something like a sticker chart you can see how much she (he) really wants the piercing, or if they are just doing it to be cool.

It's the child's body, if they have regrets they have to live with it.
