You just love to argue with me don't you. I'm not arguing which is worse. I'm arguing that neither should be done to a baby. But I'll play. Ear piercing still has painful after effects. Swelling, bleeding and risk of infection. Pretty much the same stuff tattoos have. Both are terrible to put on a young immune system.
True. I could see how both sides of the argument are valid. But I dont see how an ear-piercing would be "life-altering" and change that childs outlook on life, but I can't say the same for a tattoo. Just Imagine a four year old girl with a half-sleeve.
