Only 13 more years until I have to take ds to have his nipple pierced. I don't think I will ever be ready for that!

LOL at nipple piercing. After being pestered continuously for about 6 months to allow me to let 16yr old DS get his lip pierced ( and me refusing ) he has now said he doaesn@t want it done cos everyone has it. Just a little bit scared what he is going to ask for next!

It's charming isn't it - this fashion for self mutilation. DSS came home with his tongue pierced during the summer holidays - yuk, mind you it was quite funny taking the p1ss out of him for not being able to speak for a week. His dad made him remove it when he started back at school - so he went through all the pain and discomfort for nothing .My only consolation for you is that the piercings can be removed and the holes can heal over. A tatoo is with you for life or until it is lasered off.

lol at yui being there to witness the pain

You are one tough mutha, custy

take it he doesn't believe in santa anymore then ;)

aaah the magic of christmas!!!! good luck [ouch emoticon]

becuase people can see the eyebrow. it makes him look ever more arrestable ( by the police) and i dont like it cos it messes up his beautiful face and would make him look like a rum bugger.

I remember my friend telling me how they did her nipple piercings. Something about a kebab skewer... I stopped listening!

Wont let my 15 year old dd have her belly button pierced or a second set of ear holes - once is enough. Luckily she is not kicking up too much fuss.

I'd have let him have the eye one. ouch for the nipple !

no I agree about the eyebrow one, I think it looks a bit aggressive.
nipple one will heal anyway
