[QUOTE="Star*, post: 293902, member: 4964"] My niece is a straight A student, just turned 16, has her belly button pierced and if you buy into that "well nobody will ever see it" line - THINK again - they do not get it pierced and buy body jewelry so that NOBODY will NEVER SEE IT. hahah. Maybe YOU will never see it - but EVERYBODY her age will. My sister was fine with it. I think it's because our parents were uber strict. Since she is such a smart girl - and is only 13 - what is wrong with asking her to do a little research about it before she commits to it? Checking with a few places, asking about risks, infections, follow up care, what if's, scaring, tearing, costs, etc? I think that anything worth having at 13 is worth waiting until 14 - and making an informed decision before jabbing a large guage needle twice into your skin needs to have some thought before poking. My niece said it was pretty painful. My son had his tongue done and said that he would NOT do it again - he has had his tooth repaired twice in less than a year. A friend of his has her lip pierced and opted for a white ball the size of a straight pin head. Every single time I see it I think the child has a huge zit in the middle of her mouth below her lip and above her chin. I even offered to BUY her something pretty like a cubic zirconia or blue stone - anything and she said nope - I like this. Yuk - [/QUOTE]
