Navel piercing on a 13, almost 14 year old?

[user1497545304]

What are your thoughts?

The wrong idea? What, like they can rape her or something?

No, I don’t think a navel piercing will do that.

Honestly these responses. Tarty ffs?!
Just do it - I pierced my own nose with a needle at 14 because my mum wouldn’t take me. Much more dangerous. I did make sure I wore a fake one for a month beforehand to avoid suspicion...

WTF? Give boys what idea?

Do you not think it gives boys (her age and older) the wrong idea?

Yes come on, what idea do you mean?

Both my teen dds had theirs done at 15, I took them to a place with a good reputation and they did a good job. It takes a while to heal and they needed to take good care of them for a long time. They don't heal a quickly as ears.
The period question may be because of potential rubbing if they suffer from bloating. Dd had done jeans she couldn't wear during her period as they rubbed the ring slightly.

jacques I don't think the false naivety is helpful.

It gives the idea of being older for one thing, of wanting that part of your body to be attractive.

Do you think any piercing is OK on a 13 year old then? A nipple piercing? Tongue?

She's not 'responsible for what boys think' but it is ridiculous to suggest that 13 year Olds having something that is associated with a much older girl or woman is not going to leave a certain impression.

The op asked the internet for opinions, I'm giving mine.

FIY naval = ships whereas navel = belly button.

Can someone please tell me what a chav looks like, since, you know, having your navel pierced makes you look like one? Apparently.

What kind of “wrong idea” will a boy get from a naval piercing? Surely breasts are more exciting? Or do people who have piercings deserve to be raped? I know I’m probably going too far but what on earth can that comment possibly mean? The boys probably won’t even see or know it’s there.

But ear piercing is ok because... cultural norm? No different

did I say ear piercing was ok? I dont approve of that for children either. I think anyone piercing holes in childrens flesh is an abusive wanker.

It isn’t associated with “much older girls or women”. Navel piercings are pretty much the bastion of the teen

Notwithstanding the fact there is more legislation surrounding nipple and genital piercings, tongues etc aren’t comparable due to the different in process.

I couldn’t find someone willing to attempt piercing my tongue until I was 30.

I am racking my brain to think of any job application or interview process that would involve a navel inspection

A bellybutton model obvs

I think you need to stop minimising actual child abuse by making statement like this.

FWIW I am very much against children being pierced before they can give informed consent. If and when they can make a fully informed decision, it isn’t abuse and to suggest such is rather foolish.

I had mine done for my 13th birthday. Loved it then, still like it now.

If they are grown up enough to clean it I would allow it.

I had mine done, my body pushed it out slowly and it was left hanging with just a bit of skin over it( I was too young really got know what to do at 14). I then got it redone a few years later and it was fine apart from the horrible scar that got left and since having children it's stretched it and made it look horrible.

Wait, so having a piercing that seems to be quite common around the age of fourteen is, making you seem older, wanting your tummy to be attractive and therefore boys will think what? They can ask a girl out but when told no that should be it, so what is it that gives boys the wrong idea? Can the boy not be taught that no means no and the way someone dresses etc doesn’t determine how to treat them? Is the boy incapable of understanding that age itself is enough to know someone is too young?

I had mine donr at 13. And again at 19. One time i had a little blister on it but it healed and second time no problems at all. And they looked doubly cool. Took them out as I was doing aerial gymnastics at the time and am due to get them redone when I can afford it. Hidden. And minimal and sparkly belly hole! Win win.

Oh, erm I don’t agree. Getting my navel pierced at around 14 (I think) definitely was not abusive. Having my vagina fucked forcefully by fingers and then a penis from the age of eight and being beaten most days was abusive. Please don’t minimise what happened to me. One I asked for, the other I did not.

Quack - didn't mean any harm, just having 'fun' poking the unreasonable beast. Hope you are OK (ish) now. Sorry if we upset you.

Sorry, I realise my comment was a bit much. I just hate that word being thrown around so easily.

KeepOnKeepingOn1 You know what, I should be over it by now. I just hate when things like this is compared to abuse and so seriously by some people. Real abuse happens and being told (when I’ve experienced both things) something I wanted was abuse is just so ridiculous to me. I am enjoying those comments that are taking the piss though, these threads do make me laugh but I took it too personally today.

Tacky tacky tacky

There's a timetable?! It's really OK.

Steer clear of AIBU though unless you have no real life experience, do not have a rhino hide or are not very drunk and don't give a fuck

viques it's not illegal on a 13 year old.

ManyChips ooh that's the 3rd time I've been called a chav in as many weeks! 😂
