00:00I could go on forever with the risks involved in why you should not pierce infant's ears.
00:21Maybe he has a way that he regards tattoos and other body modifications and piercings,
00:28but to assume that other people would feel the same way, and then that they are denying
00:34their kids this privilege of having piercings done to themselves, it's kind of an inappropriate
00:43assumption.
00:48I feel like, especially in black culture, and I've seen a lot in Hispanic and Latinx
00:56cultures, that people just pierce their baby's ears as a form of adornment, and my mom had
01:03my ears pierced when I was a baby.
01:14It was an educated choice.
01:15People still understand that, like, oh, if my baby's skin is overly sensitive, I'm not
01:19going to do it, or if it does get affected, I'm going to take it out.
