In both cases it's a custom that doesn't have a whole lot of purpose, but also doesn't do any genuine harm. It's just an odd thing to get worked up about.

A moment or two of pain to achieve a potential lifetime of reduced sensation done entirely against the will of the victim for literally no upside and against the recommendation of CPS. It's abhorrent to mutilate the genitals of your children and just because a tribe in Zimbabwe pierces their babies' ears doesn't make it okay.
Unless medically necessary, it's a violent assault on a helpless baby.
