[quote=Anonymous]I had my ears pierced before I left the hospital, so I was a few days old. I was born in the 60's (in DC) and mom had a Latino doctor. My mother is from South America born in the 30's and she also had here ears pierced at birth. I also wore a gold bracelet, in this Andean country it is a sign of wealth, even poorer people decorate themselves with gold. We have 22 and 24 carat gold and silver and not very expensive but precious. There is documentation of Incas wearing earrings as far back as 400 AD (also gold) so I imagine it is cultural, it is a common practice.[/quote]
