Opinions on baby piercing

[sidesplittinglol]

What do we all think of this?

I mean I'm all for piercing a girls ears when they're a baby but any where else is just a no for me.

It isn't real...she was making a point about circumcision iirc

It was a spoof post. If you look at the hash tags one of them says sarcasm.

Have you noticed the #sarcasm at he end of that?

It says #sarcasm at the end - I think it's a joke.

I think it's a wind up...

It's a joke. She was making a point about how people would react to that vs how people react to male infant circumcision.

She didn't actually pierce her baby's cheek.

She's proving a point and rightly so in my opinion.

When kids request their ears pierced then I'll consider it. I'm not one for shoving bits of metal into somebody who can't consent just because it might look cute.

You do realise she didn't actually pierce her kid, don't you?!

This particular woman posted that as an "anti baby piercing" thing. She didn't actually get her baby pierced.

I actually despise babies ears being pierced. Just sayin'

I did not see that part admittedly 🙈

That's it, sorry, an anti circumcision post.

Joke or not, this is a very divisive issue on hear.

And no I don't think it is okay to pierce a babies ears - you wouldn't get them a tattoo so why hold them down and shoot needles in their ears so you can make them "pretty".

I am more concerned that you are all for piercing a baby's ears than this screen shot. Is this a joke?

Circumcision for non medical reasons is also disgusting

This has been done to death and always ends up in a bunfight

I am more concerned that you are all for piercing a baby's ears

This. But in not getting into it as I've seen how these kinds of threads turn out.

Not a huge fan of inflicting pain on a someone so young they can't give consent or voice an opinion. I don't even think it looks nice either.

It was to make a point and it made a very good one. I can't for the life of me understand anyone who punches holes in their baby in the name of fashion. It's sick.

Piercing a baby's ears is awful and unnecessary. I am NOT all for it. In fact the exact opposite.

I saw a mother BF a baby while sitting on the 'piercing chair' at Claire's Accessories. I'd guess that the baby was 3-4 months old. She stopped BF and then went on to get the baby's ears pierced. I felt that if you weren't willing to take the risk of BF while it was done and getting properly bitten due to the pain inflicted on the baby then you definitely shouldn't be allowed to get your baby pierced.

Parking threads need a diagram and threads about piercing a child's ears require popcorn!

Why would you pierce a baby's ears??? They won't understand why they're hurting, and they're likely to tug at them or get them infected. Toddlers with earrings can hurt themselves if they get them caught in clothes or fall onto the side of their heads.

And they're not your ears??? OP why

Also babies feel pain a lot more than adults do. There are physical indicators for pain felt, such as stress hormone level and heart rate increase. It hurts them at infancy a lot more than it would hurt them at, say, aged 15, even if they won't remember it
