[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised to believe it was trashy. But now that I have an 11 year old and cannot find a decent place to get her ears pierced, I’m pretty envious of the parents who got it done and don’t have to deal with it now. And of course DD has an insane sports schedule and we can’t figure out how to time the piercing so she can have some time for it to heal and stay clean. It wouldn’t have been a fuss to add piercing cleaning to the other stuff I was already doing when she was tiny.

Also, unpopular opinion that I’ve developed as an adult: babies with tiny little earrings are really cute. [/quote]

Ears pierced as an infant have to be repierced once most of the time. [/b]It's because the ear changes too much during childhood and the holes end up looking bad by the time they are in the teens.

Culture be d****d, there's no reason to do it to a non consenting child.[/quote]

I don't think that's true. I know many people who were pierced as an infant. My ears were pierced as an infant. I don't doubt that this could happen, but what makes you think it occurs most of the time and not rarely? Anyone who fixes piercings is going to have a selection bias.[/quote]
