The video has left the internet divided with many commenting that the girl is too young for a nose piercing.

“Hell no too young too young! You’re a bad parent,” one said.

“She is way to [sic] young to have a nose piercing!” another wrote.

“She’s nine. No jeweller would do that. Shame on you. She’s a child. She’s not mature or developed,” a third said.

“I got a nose piercing myself but nine is a bit too early because the nose hasn’t fully grown yet,” a fourth wrote.

But some users jumped in and defended the mum.

“OMG stop hating, they are amazing,” one said.

“Her nose ring is so cute! It suits her so well!!” another wrote.

“She is so pretty I don’t know what the haters are talking about,” a third said.

The mum hit back at critics, explaining she allowed her daughter to get her nose pierced because she “does not like earrings” as they’re “ugly”.

She added that there was “no age restriction” when she took Bella to get her nose pierced since she had “parent consent”.

“About the nose ring thing, she’s nine years old ok, if she wants a f****ing nose ring, what’s the big deal with that?” she said.

“I mean, it’s not her tongue or her eyebrow, and I didn’t tattoo her face, she just wanted a simple nose ring.

“Like what is the big deal?”

Many users questioned how Bella’s school reacted to the piercing.

Meagan explained her daughter goes to a public school, adding they are “fine” with nose rings and “haven’t said a thing”.

The mum went on to dismiss claims she forced her child to get a piercing.

“Did you want the piercing or did I force you?” Meagan asked Bella. The nine-year-old girl answered: “I wanted it”.

Meagan also explained why her daughter is allowed to wear make up.

“Because she is naturally light blonde and her eyebrows, eyelashes are really light and she just wants a little colour on them,” she said.
