Now I'm curious if any piercers in my area would...I suspect with the variety of options in a big city it's possible to find one who would pierce a kid's ear lobes with the kid's and parent's consent. I remember talking my parents into letting me get my ears pierced for my fourth birthday and being thrilled about it, even though it happened at the mall with a piercing gun, which was way more painful than a professional body mod shop would have been.
