why your parents piercing infant ears??? infants can’t consent to body modification, and it introduces a whole host of health risks at a time in your life when you are super illness-prone and vulnerable to ailment!
anyways many cultures practice ear piercing on infants and babies or young children.
there is no decisive evidence showing that children w pierced ears are more prone to infection or illness related to the piercing than they would be later.
In fact, in some cases it’s recommended children have their ears pierced young to avoid complications like keloid formations when there is a family history of it.
and the whole “babies can’t consent” thing is just… they also can’t consent to being assigned a gender or a name or literally Anything else. of all the things kids are subjected to, a painless cosmetic procedure w no long-term effects or severely stated risks is really ridiculous to cause a fuss over.
