..not to mention all places that pierce with a cbr and a needle wouldn’t pierce a kid who doesn’t want to get pierced. weilding a piercing gun is one thing, but a needle? the kid better be sitting n ice and wanting it badly.
I have no problem with someone getting their ear pierced when they want it. who cares how old/young they are? it beats parents piercing their newborn girls ears with a GUN anyday, that’s for sure.

The tattoo is obviously fake. And I don’t get all the earring hate, you can take an earing out later if you don’t like it and be left with a barley visible scar. Personally I would wait until my kid was old enough to make a decision about piercings, but I had mine done as a baby and I’m not angry at my parents one bit.

I can’t believe people are upset about the piercing. Pretty much every girl I ever knew had their ears pierced by like 2nd grade, I know I did. Why is it any different for a boy?

I dont think anyone in their right mind would tattoo someone that young.
And i agree with VOMIT. I had my ears pierced in first grade. My brother had his in second grade.

I always asked my mom for the biggest temporary tattoos when I was little. When I was in 2nd grade, I remember I had a huge cobra that covered almost my entire chest. I walked around for the next week pulling up my shirt for anyone who would look.. haha. Kids these days have temporary tattoo printer paper (http://www.decalpaper.com/category-s/8.htm?gclid=CKekwO2LyZICFQx7PAoduwaULA)
Lucky!!

I would also like to know if the same comments (about the earring) would be made if the picture was of a little girl? My mother had my ears pierced at birth, which is extremely common in Mexico … so what difference would there be in having the same thing done to your boy?
To be fair, my mother had to have her ears repierced due to migration, but mine are fine and it’s usually not a big deal.

dofnup – I think pretty much the same reaction would be had if it were a girl. Ear piercings for babies may be common in mainstream society; people around here tend to frown upon that kind of thing. 🙂
I know one person who had her ears pierced when she was about three: her mother dragged her literally kicking and screaming to have it done, and she’s been screwed up about piercings ever since. Pain in the arse for me, I can tell you (I quote: ‘Ugh, get away, I don’t even want to look at you!’).
Mind you, if the kid’s got no problem with it, I don’t see why anyone else should. He can take it out if he grows to dislike it.

I don’t think that babies should have their ears pierced – for one, they may not want one at all. I know several people that just aren’t interested in piercings, period, whether it’s an ear or not. The biggest problem with it is that they might migrate, which is an issue for a friend of mine that would like to stretch her ears, but would have to be pierced again first.
But, by this age, the kid’s going to know if he or she would like a shiny little stud or ring in his ear. There’s also a smaller chance of migration.
Seriously, folks. Rejoice that it doesn’t seem to have been done by a gun, (I’m sure parents submitting to ModBlog know better) and start rallying for something more serious, like routine circumcision.

ah, the collective virtual soapbox…
regardless of whether you think it’s right or wrong, his lobe looks 100% more healthy than a TON of adult ‘healed’ piercings.
cute tattoo, it reminds me of drawing in pen on my friends in elementary school.

Holy shit I dident expect such an interest, I thought it was cute thats it. The tattoo is fake. He was very happy, I told him to look cool for the picture thats why he’s no smiling. Its sharpies and it was stenciled.
His sister(age 2) got her ears pierced and naturally he wanted one. He was 3 at the time now 4. I even stretched it from 18 to 14 gage ewwwwwwwwww.

Atleast he’s not cutting his penis in half. *shrugs*

see, i don’t think he looks sickly or tired or miserable or anything. i think he’s doing the “oh good good, are you taking ANOTHER picture?” i’m sporting the same “put the goddamn camera away” look in half of my childhood photos.
i think he looks like a little badass, to be honest. damn cool kid, friggin adorable to boot.
i wish my parents had given me cool temporary tattoos when i was little, all i got was teeny tiny ones that washed off a day later. 🙁

It’s well funny when people go “OMG, is that a real tattoo?!!!11!1one!1!” at pictures like this. Of course it’s not, grow a brain.

I have to say the kid is old enough to decide if he wanted his ear(s) pierced. I was three when I got mine done, by choice. Picked out the studs and all. (I, unfortunately, didn’t know any better about ear piercing guns, though.)
Bill: I have to disagree that children have no judgment. Everyone is different. I know plenty of adults who do not think about the repercussions of their choices, and there are quite a few children I’ve known to be wiser than adults in those matters. It all depends upon the individual.

For the sake of brevity, my vote:
Pro kid-earlobe (and nowhere else) piercing if old enough to say yes and sit still for it.
