One source told The Sun, "The eldest girl picked out some pretty 18-carat gold studs and gave them to her mum".

"The piercing gun was a bit too painful for her and she screamed then burst into tears. She was saying it felt like a stapler. So her little sister changed her mind about having hers done".

"There was something said about Daddy thinking they were too young to have it done but it was all said in good spirits. They all left with big smiles on their faces. Angelina bought them another little gift to make sure they both felt special".

When Zahara appeared at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards with her mother Jolie, she wore an array of piercings, 12 in one ear and 14 in the other, included septum piercing, that probably total up to 28.

"Angelina will argue she has been fighting for the best deal for their family, but whatever the truth, it ultimately clears the path for him walking down the aisle with Ines".

"He will hope that he can build bridges with his children now that the divorce is finalised, but that looks like a long hard road".
