My 15 year old DD loves piercings (she has 3 in each ear) and she cant wait to turn 16 to get more. She wants her smiley, tragus and industrial done. I have said no to the industrial, a maybe to the tragus and no to the smiley. She however, claims to have looked up how to look after all the piercings, how they are pierced, pros and cons and so much more. When she is 16 she is allowed to get them done without my permission, but she feels guilty that she would of let me down because I think they look trashy and horrible. My DD said she will decided which one she would want the most, even though I haven't agreed and still very dislike all of them. She wants them because she likes them and is "finally allowed to get them done without my permission" but I have said the Christmas and birthday money she is getting from relatives isnt going to be used on piercings (I have said I will tell her relatives what she is spending the money on and they will not give her the money.) Am I being too harsh? With the smiley she only wants a small piercing but i think it looks hideous.
