  1. No I think that 2 peircings per ear would be the limit at that age for the belly-button tell them to wait until they are 18 or 20 because it hurts.


  2. No.

    Why? Because that tells guys they are easy.  

    I am against piercings anyway, as they are not natural, and not really all that healthy.  So easy to get infected.

  3. No way.  The ears, 2 the most, once you turn 18 I have no control on what you pierce, until then.  No belly button piercing or 5 ear piercing!!

  4. no way..12 year old can only get one simple ear piercing

    maybe if shes 16 she can get more

    and no to belly button rings till shes 18..those are just S****y

  5. sure.  i figure things like ear piercings and hair cuts lets a teen learn how to make important decisions in a way that has limited repercussions (and they'll need to learn how to make decisions eventually).  i figure if they hate their earrings they can just take them out, etc, lesson learned.  there are much larger battles i'd think.  so year, i'd let my twelve year old get a double peircing, and if they got older and wanted more ear piercings sure whatever.  as for other piercings such as eyebrows, etc, they'll have to wait until they're 18 and out of my house.

  6. No, I would let them get one piercing in the ears.  Multiple ear piercings is kind of trashy and belly rings are out of style anyways.  I am speaking from experience.  I had 3 holes in each ear by the time I was 18 and I haven't worn anything in the top 2 holes since I was probably 20 or so and I am 27 now.  I got my belly pierced at 17 and I took it out at 21 b/c everyone had them and it wasn't unusual or fashionable anymore.  I can understand why kids want to do these things.  But speaking as someone who has done it, just trust me when I say you will wish you had not later.  Especially the belly button!  I hate the hole that is still there 7 years later.

  7. uhm no there 12 no more piercings than one in each ear..

    untill there at least 14..

    no belly button for 14 i would wait till 15..

    beacuse they are still young for piercings they are alot of responsibilty

  8. If they want to fork out the money for it, than sure.  However, I would not let the 14 year old have her belly pierced, it is against the law and it looks tacky on a 14 year old.

  9. I got my first ear peircings at age 12.

    I got them right above that at 14.

    and the third at 16.

    rofl

    I'm not joking either! You know what else is hilarious though? They all got infected. Most people's do not, but mine all did. I even left in the peircing earrings for a few months longer than instructed and it STILL got infected. Now they're all fine though. With time they heal.

    I'm just saying its sort of a random thing. Sometimes they get infected, most times they don't. Mine did. But I don't regret getting them. :)

  10. Nothing but there ears until there 18.

  11. NO!

    I wouldn't let my child get anything but ONE piercing in their ears! That's ridiculous! Why would they even WANT a belly button ring? They shouldn't even be showing off their belly buttons! I'm fourteen, and it's sad to see that I'm even more mature than some parents...

  12. Nah! 4 piercings looks TACKY especially for a 12 year old! i mean this kid is in like grade 6! i think that for a 13 year old it's the same thing it doesn't look tasteful and people will wrongly judge my CHILD at age 14 I'd potentially consider this but I'd say no waaay! Because it looks bad, it will get infected, it's alot to manage, too expensive buying earrings. And if you really wanted to get it wait until you are 16. I'd totally let the kid get 2 piercings though!

  13. i think that ear piercing is not the end of beauty. for i know that they are very young and by right they should not.

    for in wel civilised country, they way you dress make you, who you are and is the way people around you, will take you

  14. NO.......nothing other then ears till 16 then its up to you it is your body after all............ Why because all those piercings look tacky specially when your just 12

  15. ok well if you mean four as in doubles then yes.. actualy i would let my kids get any piercing they want because i enjoy piercings myself!!! so i mean i am not going to go and stop them...

  16. yes they are removable

  17. NO.  Getting your belly button pierced at 14 is ridiculous!  Scientific evidence suggests it causes cancer.  Here is a more suitable guidline:

    12 = 1 ear piercing

    13 = 2 ear piercing

    14 = 3 ear piercing

    16 = consider bellybutton

    Enjoy being a kid and don't be so silly

  18. im not a parent.

    but im fourteen, and my parents let me have five piercings, though they're all on my ears. cartilage, and then two holes on each ears.

    piercings are getting mroe and mroe popular. but it's important to stay smart about it. i don't think they're as bad as tattoos.

    and if they're just doubles, its not serious. i'd wait though. maybe till they're fourteen. twelve's a little too young.

  19. No. Maybe a second at like 11 or 12. But not 4. Definitely not a belly button piercing until like their senior year in high school. I'm not even allowed to get highlights in my hair until my senior year of high school. Thats just too young.

  20. i had my ears pierced first when i was 2 months, again when i was10, and again when i was 13, because i wanted them done. i have 6 regular ear piercing, then i have an industrial bar in my right ear, and im getting my belly button pierced on my moms next day off. so yes i would. its their body.

  21. Well im 14, 15 in december.

    And i have 5 ear piercings. 1st & 2nds and my top.

    Soon im getting my belly done, my mother asked me if i wanted that doing ages ago :P I think shes trying to be 'cool' :P

    But i guess its what kind of person your parent is :) x

  22. I'm 14 and have 6 piercings. 3 in each ear, but bellybutton? I'd say 16 or so, there's no point in getting that while you're that young.

  23. I always said my son could do anything that is reversible, so I would say yes lol I know you are probably talking about girls, but I guess now days anything goes! The only thing I wouldn't allow would be a tattoo!

  24. No, definitely not.  Two in each ear at the absolute most, and none anywhere else.

  25. i dont think so. maybe two piercings??

  26. That's too many. Also, do you want a 14 yr old going around with a bare midriff? (not counting swimming.) The 13 yr old should have at most 4, same w/ the 14 yr old.

  27. i would because i rether he did it and i knew about it then going behind my back kids will do what they want its not like they are killing someone its not bad come on i dont have any

  28. if they really want it then yes cause it is there body and it is her style =)

  29. no, because no teen needs to have that many piercings for a fad that they may or may not want for the rest of their life.

  30. I'm 12 and I have 4 peircings, so yes I would.

    Thumbs me down if you want.

  31. I'm 14 and I have two holes. one in each year.

    gotten my ear peirced 4 times..

    They keep getting infected.
