[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very common in many cultures. African, middle eastern, south Asian, and some Asian.

It’s just not very common among whole people.

So when someone says it’s trashy, I just think they don’t like what brown people do.[/quote]

Agreed. Indian married to a Jewish guy. We compromised and got our girls ears pierced at 8 and 5. The 5 year old was supposed to wait but literally leaned into the chair at Claire’s. My mother had been dying to see them wear earrings, but she died before I could get their ears done. It’s a sign of beauty and in our culture you feel undressed with unadorned ears and in some cases if you don’t have a nose ring (my grandma had one and she was born in 1914, as traditional as they come). It may even be seen as inappropriate not to have earrings. But people should do what they please. Personally, I’m not a fan of painted nails on grown women. I won’t use the t word, but it does look strange to me, and juvenile (I don’t mind it on kids). [/quote]
