Piercing and plucking are not the same thing IMO. Plucking is a continuous, often painful thing that says to a child, "there is something wrong with you and it has to be fixed or else you won't be as pretty as the other children." It promotes vanity and can cause self esteem issues for a young child that shouldn't be worried about those types of things yet. Piercing is a one time thing so you can wear earrings.

i'm not a fan of either one being done, until a child is old enough to want them.  however, your post is exactly what i was thinking when i said this girl is going to mess her child up.  if it were me, i would want my child to not worry about vanity issues and just be a carefree kid for as long as possible.
