But WHY do it? Because their parents think it looks nice?

if someone said to you, "I'm just going to hold this child down and stab a needle into them," wouldn't you think there was something odd about it?

I'm surprised by how many people on here actually don't see a problem with it.

I can't answer the question, "WHY do it?", simply because I wouldn't do it myself and I wouldn't advise a parent to do it either. But as it is legal to do so and if a parent wishes to do it to their baby, then I don't see a problem with the procedure. As long as it's carried out by a professional who is licensed and insured, as a mistake could be costly, quite costly.
