For the ear piercing:


وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ
أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ ثَقْبُ
أُذُنِ الْغُلَامِ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَ خِتَانُ الْغُلَامِ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ
Piercing the ear of a boy is sunnah, and circumcision of a boy is from
the sunnah

(610562) علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن الحسين بن خالد قال: سألت أبا الحسن
الرضا عليه السلام عن التهنية بالولد متى؟ فقال: إنه قال: لما ولد الحسن بن
علي هبط جبرئيل بالتهنية على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله في اليوم السابع
وأمره أن يسميه ويكنيه ويحلق رأسه و يعق عنه ويثقب اذنه كذلك (كان) حين ولد
الحسين عليه السلام أتاه في اليوم السابع فأمره بمثل ذلك، قال: وكان لهما
ذؤابتان في القرن الايسر وكان الثقب في الاذن اليمنى في شحمة الاذن وفي
اليسرى في أعلا الاذن فالقرط في اليمنى والشنف(1) في اليسرى، وقد روي أن
النبي صلى الله عليه وآله ترك (له‍) ما ذؤابتين في وسط الرأس.وهو أصح من
القرن.

Ali ibn Ibraahim, from his father, from al-Hussein ibn
Khaalid who said:  I asked Abaa al-Hassan al-Ridhaa عليه السلام about
the celebrations concerning a birth, when do they take place?  

He said:  "Al-Hassan ibn 'Ali عليه السلام was not born except Jibra'eel
descended with congratulations for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله upon
the seventh day.  And he ordered him to name him, and give him a kunyah,
and shave his head, and have an 'aqeeqah for him, and pierce his ear.  
When al-Hussein ibn 'Ali (as) was born, he was sent for on the seventh day
and these things were commanded."  And he said:  "And they sacrificed
two horned animals for him.  And they pierced the right ear in its lobe
and the left ear at the top.  They put an earring in the right and
jewelry/ornamentation* in his left."  

As far as tattos are concerned i have not come across any hadeeth from the Aimma (as) prohibiting tattos.
Hopefully any other members who know more on the subject may be able to supply hadeeth on the subject, but it would seem tattos are not haram as they have not been prohibited by ayat or hadeeth.
*The footnote in al-Kafi says that this particular word refers to a
piece of jewelry which could be hung.  Wasael al-Shia cites Lisaan
al-'Arab as saying:  It is jewelry which is worn on the top of the ear,
underneath the earring.
