    If a mother thinks it's a good idea to get (or let) a 5 year old have a tattoo that says "I love my dad", in my opinion that is not a good idea.
    If a father wants their child to have their ears pierced at 2 years old, it's not because the child has asked for it, but because the parent has forced/projected their desires onto the child.

    So, my comment was that it should not be allowed until a time when a child is considered old enough to make sensible decisions on their own. I suggested the voting age.
    Looks like we are in agreement then, and you weren't trying to trivialise my comment by comparing FGM with ear-piercing after all...

      Yes, totally in agreement. FGM should not be trivialised. It is a horrific form of branding/maiming.
