The body paint is fine, but I always find it nasty to see piercings on kids that young… Just really don’t like it

Reminds me of my first trip to a tattoo parlor with dad when I was 4 and I was given a press on tattoo. I felt so cool and I bet this kid does too.

looks alot like paint or similar
honestly tho, call me a dick, but I would report anyone getting tattoos for their friggin 6 year old to child services. But I am the type of person that believes that circumsizing babies is severe, severe child abuse.

That’s not real, guys. it doesn’t look swollen or red at all, not to mention there is no ink rubbed around his arm anywhere.

Agreed, the earring’s gtg. Same bad idea as cutting lil kids’ hair in a mohawk.

I don’t understand the hate against this child’s piercing, he’s old enough to decide if he wants it, and it’s only in his ear, it’s not like it’s going to scar him for life. I know when I was his age I got my first piercings because I begged and begged my parents for them. My brother was the same.

UHM. I was close to his age when I got my ears pierced for the first time. It was MY idea, and the whole ride there my mother kept asking if I was sure. Thus an infatuation began. I’m sure he’s old enough to decide if he wants his ear pierced. And the (assumingly fake) tattoo looks cute. I don’t think he looks unhappy, either. Just not ready for the picture.

I dont know why everyone gets so worked up as its obviously not a real tattoo and if the child/childs parents want him with an ear piercing under whatever curcumstances them its up to them and its best not to judge unless you know the whole story.
Now everyone shut up and comment on how cute he looks. Blimeyy…people in this place.

i think it’s ridiculous you can offend that. other than for traditional reasons, i think it would be ridiculous to allow your child to get pierced. they have literally… no judgement. and if you think i’m wrong in saying that than you clearly don’t remember being a child.

Things such as hairstyle and clothing types on kids are irrelevant to this topic. Easily changed, non permanent. A mohawk is just the same as if you put a bowl on a kid’s head and cut around it like most parents used to.
The tattoo is fake, people need to seriously unbunch their panties and take an observant eye to this. There’s no redness, no ink, no tear streaks from where a 6 year old would have obviously cried during the procedure. His looks? He looks tired and not “ready” for the picture. The end.
The piercing is real. So what? If he decides he doesn’t want it, he can choose to take it out just as easily. Why can’t a kid decide for themselves when they want something so minor? If it’s the factor of whether or not they can take care of it…it’s as simple as this:
“Go brush your teeth and wash your ears Johnny! I want proof when you come out of that bathroom!”
“Okay mom!”
