When I say young, I mean < 3 years, when the child clearly can't consent

Someone just came in to my work with a kid that couldn't have been more than 6 months old, and she already had both ears pierced

Honestly I'm not sure how that's even legal

I think I'd need to see how a baby responds getting their ears pierced but my gut says no.

Circumcision is way worse and that's legal.

there are a lot of things parents do that they really shouldn't but are allowed to

My parents didn't get my ears pierced until I was old enough to ask for it (13). I think it's gross to pierce a baby

I mean you can permanently cut off part of your child's penis shortly after birth so why the hell not pierce some ears

Is there any irreversible about piercing though?

Not really a big deal

My nieces got their ears pierced at ages 2 and 4. I felt they were told young, but they really like the earrings so I guess it's fine.

My instinct is to say no because you can get clip on's that look the same but dont actually cause any pain.

what weird rock did you grow up under that you've never seen a baby with pierced ears

pretty much every latino family in the world does that

Nope. I personally would not do anything to my child's body that they couldn't consent to, that wasn't in their best interest. Piercing their ears is purely decorative, so no.

Eh I got mine pierced when I was a babe and I'm no worse for it. Would I do the same to my kids? No, but I don't think it should be illegal. It's over quick, just like a booster shot, and while one has medical benefits and the other is purely decorative a very young child is going to have about the same recollection of either experience.

Basically I don't care.

I wouldn't pierce the kid until she was old enough to ask for it, but I guess ear piercings aren't that big of a deal. like why does the kid need pierced ears so young?

Would never get my hypothetical baby's ears pierced.

Even if I thought earrings on a baby were a good idea, I would never inflict pain on my child, just so they 'look good'
