So I've already made one blog about piercing in the past and I know I've touched on the topic of piercing babies ears once. But I seriously cannot stress enough how much I despise piercing babies ears.
• One, piercing guns are fucking horrible, they can't sanitize them very well at all which should be enough of a reason to wait or at least, just not use a gun ever. not even on yourself.
• Two, a professionally trained piercer usually won't even pierce your baby's ears, because they are PROFESSIONALLY trained and understand the risks. Another reason that should be good enough.
• Three, the ear GROWS as you get older and 9/10 the placement will be off. (Think about putting a tattoo on a baby. When they're skin grows the tattoo will distort)
• Four, they cant consent, if you wouldn't tattoo your baby you shouldn't pierce them. Both are painful, both they won't remember, both are trash to do to a non-consenting human.
• Five, you're letting an UNTRAINED teenager pierce your INFANT. Your small child.
• And six "I GOT THEM DONE AND I'M FINE" welp. Not everyone is you, surprisingly.

Wait until your child wants them done. They are a person. Not an accessory
Story time: This is actually about a toddler, not a baby but anyway. I know of a woman who had a four-year-old who did not want her ears pierced. Well, she didn't agree with that and tried piercing them anyway. She had the bright idea to wait until the child was asleep and attempted to pierce the child's ears herself with a piercing gun. Well, of course, she woke up after the gun was used on one side and was freaking out. (I mean, wouldn't you?) So long story short said toddler has one side of her ears pierced but not the other.
