In the province of Quebec it is a cultural thing for infant girls to have thier ears pierced almost as soon as they are born. And it has had nothing to do with religious beliefs...as it is largely a secularist society.
So it's ok in your opinion? And regarding your own nipped tip...you were 9, still well under the age of consent, and too young to have a reference on sexual contact.

I am just making a point about how it is in certain cultures such it is in a predominatly french speaking province that is considered the norm where parents have thier little girls's ears pierced even at a very young age.Personally speaking..I don't approve of it...partly to my english/scottish upbringing and religious views in regards to the body being a temple...
Personally if had daughters I wouldn't let them get thier ears pierced until they are emotionally mature enough to handle it ..same goes for wearing make-up. I would say 16 is the minimum age.
Let children be children.
