Thoughts on ear piercings for babies/toddlers?

It's interesting to know peoples opinions. I personally think if your child is old enough to want them and can care for them, why not! But other then that, I think it's unfair for younger children to go through it without them consenting. What do you think? P.s I got my daughters ears pierced at two because she was very advanced in talking and asked for them. She could care of them from day one. She would use her cotton buds and clean the area. She didn't cry or resist whilst getting them done she actually showed them off to everyone!! She always spoke very well and was adamant she wanted them. To this day she loves jewellery she thanked me for getting them done. (She's 5 now). Although I would never of got them done without her permission. She was the one wanting them.
