Good grief. Please get a life. Stop worrying about others and tend you your own.

In Western Europe where I come from, most do not do this (and people like my mother think it is trashy). But in many other parts of the world, it is culturally important. So since it is not on par with female genital mutilation, and only causes momentary pain rather like a blood draw (which my children had to have very young), I have no objection to it.

At some point almost every women will have their ears pierced. Who cares if it was done at a tender age. What other people do or don't do with their kids ears is no one else's business

I've never ever heard in my life about people who referred to babies or girls with earrings are trashy until I discovered this site. I honestly don't get it and don't get why others are so opinionated about it.

If you have a son, did you also not circumcise the child to to causing pain? It's a culture thing, get over it. My mother pierced my ears at weeks of age as well. I never regretted having pierced ears.

Did they ask for foreskin mutilation?

It's cultural and there's no harm. Come on.

But why hurt a child when it's not necessary?

+1000 great analogy. If given a choice you bet I would choose the quick pinch of ear piercing.

Not knowing how to spell is even trashier.

Actually, calling out others for being "trailer trash" is a far more worrisome quality.
