Despite facing criticism for several months, the mother persistently shares photos and videos of her daughter, Lara, prominently featuring her pierced ears. In these visuals, different earrings are showcased, indicating that someone is regularly changing them behind the scenes.
Surprisingly, Lara and her mother have amassed a significant following over the past few months. The Instagram account boasts over 87,000 followers, while the TikTok account has an impressive 2.5 million followers.
A TikTok video from June 21, 2022, portrayed Lara charmingly looking around with her small hoops on display. Positive comments flooded in, with one user stating, “So cute little baby,” and another expressing, “She looks like an angel sent from heaven.”
However, videos displaying Lara with pierced ears at just 1 day old have sparked mixed reactions, with many criticizing Lara’s mother for the decision to pierce the baby’s ears. One commenter questioned the legality, stating, “How is that ear piercing even legal? Thought the age was 3 months.” Another user responded, “They do it at the hospital. They asked my daughter if she wanted to pierce my granddaughter’s ears.” Some suggested cultural reasons, with a comment noting, “Someone said they do it for their culture.”
Despite the criticism, positive remarks also surfaced, emphasizing that it ultimately falls on the parent or parents to make their own decisions. One user shared, “Personal opinion… She is adorable, and I totally love the earrings… Who cares what other people say… We live one life…”
