99% ?!?! I doubt it

You can have them corrected.

I've had to pierce ears at an old job, and let me tell you: you might not have remembered it, but your earlobes definitely would have! I've seen so many f'd up children's ears where the parents had them pierced as a baby or toddler and either took them out and the ears scarred (because guess what, a 2-year-old doesn't get that they shouldn't touch or pull their itchy ears), or the piercing might have been alright when they were small, but their earlobes grew (often at different paces) and now a teenager is incredibly self-conscious about how low their piercing is placed on the lobe (because bigger studs wobble or slant in the ear), or because it's asymmetrical, or because they'd like a second one, but the old one is in a weird place and the possible (safe) places for the new don't look good... There's a thousand things you can avoid by waiting, and getting at least an ounce of CONSENT for the pain that the baby feels just as much as the older child should be a no-brainer.

See this is why I'm considering getting my daughters done for her 1st, it will be easier and less traumatic and if she decides at age 7 she doesn't want them, well it's easier to let the holes close up then it would be to pierce them at that age

You would not have remembered NOW, but when you were a baby you would have very much felt and remembered it. Plus be scared to death.

My wife and I had our daughters ears pierced when she was 6 weeks old, main reason was a lot of people thought she was a boy. She did cry a bit, but she never messed with them.

TRIVIAL!!! REALLY!!! YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER PLONKER

I didn't have my ears pierced as a baby (I got them when I was 18, because I worked at a mall and the Claire's was training a new girl on piercing ears, so they did it for free) and I now have a full sleeve (38 total tattoos) plus 6 dermals on my chest, 3 facial piercings, and 7 in my ears (two in lobes, both daiths, and a cartilage piercing). I can assure you, my ear piercings weren't what started me on my body modification journey lol. My first ear piercings were actually horrible... the girl got the stud halfway in, felt the first pop from the stud going into my ear, dropped the gun while screaming, then took two steps and puked all over a display at the front of the store. Needless to say, that poor store manager was the one that had to fix my ears while we're both trying to get the other girl to calm down. I thought I was fine, but as soon as I stood up, I got dizzy and almost passed out, which started her freaking out all over again. I was fine... just pregnant and didn't know.

I got mine done in August 2022 at 13! I was so scared of the damn needed that went in my earlobe🤣🤣

Why people downvoted you I have no idea. Yes, that was why I got my daith piercing done. And whether is is working, or a placebo effect occurred, I don´t care. It helped me when pills and treatments would not.

Babies don't usually get migraines and the piercing done for migraines isn't done on babies.

Have you tried to put an earring in? Cause although the scar may still be there, the hole is most likely closed up. If you were to stick an earring in now, youd repiece the scar tissue. I've done this a few times to my 2nd set of piercings I dont use very often.

It doesn't make it child abuse as some have commented here.

Well, you don't know their situation. Their parents could potentially be the type to throw their kid out for something as small as getting a nose piercing at 18 years old. I obviously do not know their situation either, so perhaps that isn't the case, but it sure as hell does happen more often than you'd think.

It’s called “the golden rule”. He/she who makes the gold makes the rules. When Nora is supporting herself she can pierce her nose.

The government set the age of 18, parents do not. This is not a hill that an 18 year old should choose to die on. They can get a piercing when they're paying all their own bills in their own dwelling.

Putting a hole in an earlobe, as long as it’s done safely in a sanitary setting, isn’t the same as mutilating a girl’s genitalia. The holes in the earlobes will close up, but the circumcised female is mutilated for life, and it’s almost never done safely and in a sanitary way.

Oh like Male circumcision is a choice

Circumcision has consequences. Ear piercing doesn't have any negative impact. If you stop wearing earrings, it almost closes up.
