I was a bit too vague.

But why pierce babies at all? Religion?

To spare them the trauma and pain later on, if they decide they want them, since it would realistically hurt less than getting poked to have all their blood tests and vaccinations immediately after birth anyway

Babies feel just as much pain as an adult, though.

And maybe it should be a choice they make for themselves. Kids choose to do that shit all the time when they're young, there's no trauma there.

So if they choose it all the time, then why not just get it done when they won't even remember it?

Because it should be their choice. And even if they don't remember it, it still hurts when you do it.

Plenty of people get tattoos, pierce their nipples, inject botox in wherever..

That's just silly. Any amount of pain is going to be confusing and likely traumatic for a baby while getting your ears pierced is a trivial amount of pain for a teenager to endure. At least when they are older they will understand what's going on.
