It should be the kids decision, ours wanted to get hers piecered at 5 so we did it then. Even at 5 they can make an informed decision about having to clean them at night, not take them out and that it hurts when it gets done.
It is a permenant change to your childs body as the wholes always leave marks once they have been it for a few years so I certainly don't think parents should ellectively modify their kids appearance even if earings might be socially acceptable. You aren't going to get your kid a tatoo.
