Ahhhh. Pierced ears! :)
If your culture has deemed this to be OK and you feel that it's acceptable then go ahead. Though culture can change and you may be called out on it by your daughter (she may grow up and not be too pleased with her folks imposing their image of femininity on her).
Culture is separate from religion but it should still be called out upon when it is realised that it is doing something wrong (FGM is cultural in some societies and slavery was once acceptable to many).

Again I would say that you are doing this based on data\understanding of people, that doing the procedure will help your daughter, then this is a good thing in that you've thought about it and weighed up the options. If the decision to do it (or not do it) because it would limit her chances of getting into valhalla, then you would be......foolish.
