If it weren't for all the dangers it presents I wouldn't care one way or the other. It does almost fall into the category for me of people piercing their babies ears. Disgusting. They have no choice in the matter. What you do to YOUR OWN body though is entirely up to you.
However since there are so many possibilities of injury or infection I'm on the side of the fence of opposition.
I don't see it as horrendous as something like ear cropping or tail docking though. Most dogs will get an injury sometime in their life that will be more painful than an ear piercing.
He he ... I remember wanting to get my Rat Terrier's ears pierced. (The tiny little flaps near the base. It was one of those passing things though. My morals over ruled the flight of fancy.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
