Getting off my soap box now, ok I was not saying that it was acceptable to me personally, to pierce baby girls ears or circumcise boy babies. I was just pointing out people do it routinely and think it is fine.
People have cats declawed and think it is fine. People cut off dogs tails and crops ears to get a preferred 'look' and also think that is fine. People do alter themselves, their children, their pets to get a certain look. I was saying, maybe we as thinking human beings should think about why, we are doing these things. IMO if it is for health reasons yes, if it is not, maybe we should let it be.
Being an old hippie myself, I have a tattoo and I also have 3 holes in each ear. LOL
I might cover the grey and and wear control top panty hose, SO am I sort of shallow too ?
