Ear piercings can be removed and, in most cases, close up with little or no evidence they were ever there. Personally I don't think small children or babies should have their ears pierced. Circumcision has pro and con arguments, (anyone that wants to discuss that subject, please do so here ), but I'd say in general it's not done for cosmetic reasons.

My opinion on tattooing children is that is shouldn't be done. Now there may be places in the world where it's culturally significant and been in practice for years. I can understand that. When a guy in the USA just decides one day that, 'Hey, little Johnny's man enough to sport the family crest, I'm going to have my bro come over and do him with that homemade tat gun.'* Well, in my eyes that's abuse.


*Overdramatized to make my point
