excessive piercing: will you allow your children to do it

eye pierce? yes i think that is not a nice idea either. mouth and tongue is not a good idea for me too. i will allow ear piercing even up to five as long as they will just put simple earings and not a cola can

ya! I saw someone with a pierced eye lid and I couldn't believe it. I won't let my kids have one of those and of course not cola can on ears.

yes if you have 2 up to 5 pierced then that is not excessive. excessiveness is when you put a lot of piercing that covers mostly of your body that the beauty of you can no longer be seen. one or two is not excessive it is just style. thanks for the response and have a blessed day

yes that is one of my concern too infections. specially if you will get pierce just around the corner and not from a doctor. there are a lot of deseases you get from injecting or piercing. thanks for the response vanities

i dont understand too why people need to do this with thier faces and bodies. i got that from an email and i have more pictures that are really more shocking. lol. i choose this one for the sake of those who eats in front of the pc, i dont like them to puke on their keyboard. wink wink

yes below 18 they dont yet have a choice. they can choose if they are adult already, but in my part i will still nag at them no matter if they are 30 already lol, that is if they want an excessive piercing, i will nag at them with that

yes this excessive piercing really looks stupid. if they claim this as fashion then it sucks! lol. fashion is something you will have and you look good. i dont see anything looking good here. thnaks for the response

you have a nice point here suspenseful, "savages pierce their bodies, and we are supposed to be civilized. " i think that is a very good view you have my best response with your response with that. thanks you for a great input. happy posting

I think referring to tribal people as "savages" is pretty outdated & borders on racist.

hi mishelle welcome to mylot hope you like it here like the most of us do. yes i think that can will leave a permanent damage with the skin. and it does no longer look nice if they call that a fashion.

a simple pierce is okay. i have three daugthers and i had thier ears pierced at the hospital after delivery. in our country is it easy to determine an infant if it is a girl or a bot just looking at the ears. now if they like more than that they can decide for them selves at a certain age buit not the excessive ones. thanks for the response

my first born is 17 and i let him decide for himself, lucky me he dont even want to have a single pierce not even a tattoo. if ever one of my children will like to have a pierce or tattoo i wont mind but i will still nag at them if they will go over board even they are already 30 lol.

can i ask what are the reason why her body rejected the pierce? i think most of us parents really only have a say as long as our children still lives with us. but it is also still nice to the feeling if they still listen to what we say even they ar e living their own lives already.

We are not sure of the reason. It just wouldn't heal around the ring. It looked like the outter skinner got thinner until there was no more skin to hold the stud. Thats the best I can describe it.

ouch is what it is when it gets torn. yes to each is won. i myself is not against of piercing but as long as it is not too much that you know it is hazzardous and it is a lot of pain. thanks for your response i respect your opinion as well. have a nice day

We can just hope for him hat it dont get torn.

both you, black and lavander (wow two colors, nice to see you both here) i respect your opinion. if someone does not approve of piercing then i respect that. in one way or another we can really get some infections. not all of us can afford a real doctor for piercing. specially if our children will get pierce without our supervision. thank you both for the comments

Have you ever been in a professional piercer's studio? I can assure you that there was no danger of AIDS, syphilis, or hepatitis where we went. Everything was as sterile as a Dr.'s office. I'd be more afraid of getting a disease in a hospital, personally.

Oh, absolutely you can get infections, no doubt. You can get infections in a paper cut. But not from a reputable piercer. I respect everyone's opinion, too, but I also respect level headed research before throwing such a conclusion out. ;)

al of my daugthers, had their ears pierced when they were still a baby and so far that is the only pierce they have. yes too much of anything is no longer attractive it is just calling attention but that does not mean it is attractive. i wish my children if they want to have more piercing i wish they will stay on a style were it looks good and not horrible. thanks for the response have a nice day

thanks for voicing out your viens regardring excessive piercing. some responces if you read them said it depends on their children when they are 18 and there is nothing thye can do. un ang masarap dito sa pinas, children even they are 18 and above still respect on what their parents has to say. i amo for piercing but not excessive that like you said will look untidy already

yes i would not let my child pierce something that will make them horrible looking. i would like them or i will approve to any piercing but not excessively done that would make them look ugly. but before that i will still insist to stayy simple as possible. thanks for the response have a nice day

Not so if they are still under 18 and living in your house then your rules are the ones they should have to respect and follow. If you do not enforce your rules and believes then it is your fault that they don't follow them. Too many parents today have abdicated thier role as a parent they feel they don't have any control in thier own house over thier own children...well if you ty to be your child's pal and buddy you aren't going to have any control and your rules and beliefs won't be respected or followed. you can be a parent and retain the control on your household without being an ogre but you can't do it if you are your child's playmate.

i agree with that sweet, if they are still living with me i dont care if they are above 18 as long as they are still living with me.... my house my rules. they cant follow then they have to leave. thank you shanna for your response and sweet too

i am not against any piercing too as long as not too much and excessive as like at the photo. i have a handsome child and three beautiful daughters and excessive piercing will cover the beauty not enhance. even they are 18 and above they still need guidance. thanks for the response and have a blessed day.
