When I got my daughter’s ears pierced years ago I never suspected that someday not too far away teenagers would be piercing their bodies in all manner of ways. Although many of my daughter’s friends have pierced body parts I have always been able to talk her out of the idea. I do realize that teenag

My 12 year old pierced her lip herself and then her 14 year old sister copied her. The 12 year old took hers out, but the 14 year old keeps sneaking it in. I don't know if it's worth the fight.

My 16 year old had her dad take her to have her face pierced (to the right of her lip, below her nose - why there/??) after I said NO to that area, but agreed to compromise with other areas suggested (nose, navel). This article was helpful and is calming me down somewhat. I guess I'm not as upset about the piercing as the fact that I told her NO (open defiance) and that her Dad (my ex) was fooled into believing her! Oh well, the joys of raising a teenage daughter.

Hello, I have been a professional body piercer for nine years, I have seen a lot of bad home piercing jobs. Lani, at this point infection likely isn't a big risk but it may help to take your daughter to a reputable piercing studio to have her piercing checked out, also ask the artists to explain the risks of self piercing with your daughter. Sometimes it just takes someone other than mom or dad saying "This is a bad idea because of blah blah blah". There are many great piercing studios out there that can make this a safe experience for their clients, there are also some hacks who are just trying to make a buck. If you are considering a piercing for yourself or your child, definitely do your research. If the studio is unwilling to or can't answer your questions, simply take your business elsewhere. Many states are regulating this industry now, look into whether these studios are complying with local laws. Ask others with piercings where they got them, and if they are happy with them. Also keep in mind that with or without a piercing, your kids are still your kids. Many people find that when they stop resisting the piercing thing, their kids interest starts to feign. Granted, some find that it feeds it even further. Have fun!

im a 17 year old girl with my tongue and lip pirced. seriously, its not a big deal. and normally, pircing don't mean anything, they're just cool. i did not get my tongue pirced with anything in mind and my mother didn't see it that way. i got it done cause i like they way they look. and b/c teens have pircing dosn't make it harder for them to get jobs. i have two and my bosses both think they're awesome.

My parents brought me up by not judging a person if they have a piercing, but to think about the consequences of getting one if i ever wanted one and whether i would be doing it just to fit in. I still to this day never want to get a piercing because i just don't really like the look of them and my friends don't really like them either. Maybe what my parents said from when I was little helped? I don't really know, but I honestly don't want a piercing and i never have. I hope this helps parents out there.
