of a Toddler

It is a tradition in my culture too (cuban), and I think it's stupid to pierce the ears of a baby. I had mine done as a baby, before my ears grew, and they are crooked. Not only that, I don't even wear earrings. Haven't in over 20 years. Why make a permanent choice for your kid? That cultural tradition ended with me because I sure as shit didn't do it to my kids. They can make their own choices for their own bodies. It's less about whether it's safe and more about making choices that aren't yours to make.

And no they didn't close up, I still have holes in my ears for no damn reason.
