i am not a big fan at all of tattoos, earings ect are a bit diffeent, but i personaly think a parent should wait til the child is a bit older, maybe alaw that prohbits parents from piercing ant childs ears before they are say 1, but that is just my thought, in the area i live in it is heavly hispanic, no i am not predudice towards them in any way shape or form, but i always notice evey hispanic child i have everseems around her, seems to have pieirced ears (female not male infants) almost at birth, it is so cmmon that when i see a 6 ,month of female bayb with no ears pieircing it am suprised, but i gues each to his or her own
