Some cultures piece the ears of newborns. Not my thing, but I don't consider it my business if someone else does it. It's a brief pain. Babies get all kinds of needles, freak out when you try to clip their nails, etc. I honestly don't understand what level of sensitivity to the pain of others you have to be calibrated to in order for this register, consider all the other stuff to worry about in the world.
