I am a trained professional body piercer, and it kills me to see little babies ears pierced with those nasty piercing guns. They are gross and unsanitary. My stupid sister wanted me to pierced my granddaughter's ears while we were watching her for my daughter. She wants it done and does not care what my daughter wants. I was never going to do it, but I asked my granddaughter if she wanted holes in her ears so she could wear earrings like mommy, and she said no, she would just pinch them on like Grandma Carolyn.
