A third asked: “Why pierce a boy. Insane.” While a fourth attested: “Too Young.” Another user stated: “Unnecessary pain to a child. Children that can voice this is their choice should only have this. Mum and ear piercer should not do this. Poor baby.” However, the mom didn’t seem to care and hit back with a comment: “Y’all realize I’m getting paid for all y’all weird obsessed comments. Go off, y’alll! Keep me paid.”
However, the mom didn’t seem to care and clapped back.
