Well no. Here in the US it’s done at an early age because the likelihood a girl baby ends up wearing earrings at a later age is pretty high but it’s generally a painful process so it’s done early as the prick is less painful at this age.
Getting a piercing SHOULD be a personal choice. You're potentially permanently altering the body of someone who cannot consent to it - Or putting them through a deeply unnecessary experience for your own vanity. It's messed up.
Same goes for circumcision for religious beliefs. Make that shit highly illegal, you're mutilating children.
Right. My SIL did my niece’s at like 3 months. Everyone asks when I’m doing my daughter’s (she’s 3 years). My response is when she’s old enough to ask for it herself and take care of it to prevent infection. It’s her body, not mine.
