Body piercing questions about why? ?


I am a father of older teens 18-19 and
what is it with Body Piercings
with the lip rings and “Snake Bites ”
I have a hard time with it
I am not a prude and we do alot
together and they tell me it is
what they wanted to do for a long time
please share your feeling’s on this

I have a daughter that wanted to have piercings and tattoos. I told her as long as she was a minor and under my authority she was not gonna have either. Guess what happened the day of her 18th birthday! She got her nose pierced, her eyebrow and half her back tattooed. I love my daughter no matter what and like you her and I have a very close relationship. Today she's 21 and she's starting to talk about what technology is available to have her eyebrow piercing scar removed! I did tell her at the time that it's a teen phase, at 42 I panic each time I see a little something different in my face and she will hate herself later for scaring her face…………it went in one ear and out the other.

We raise them, we love them and at some point we have to let them be. My daughter is graduating college, she works since she's 16, she's sensitive and mature, she never gave me a worry, I though seeing her with piercing and tattooss was a small sacrifice I could do with cause she was the best daughter someone could have.

ADD: I would like to add all her friends have piercings and tatooes and they're all college graduate of University students. As long as their life is on track let them express who they are. It's a phase.

    I used to have a pierced chin a a pierced eyebrow.

    It was a part of my lifestyle and image back when I thought I wanted to be a rock star.

    I personally think they’re fine and at that age, it’s pretty harmless. It’s a form of expression. No biggie.
