I turned out to be a totally mainstream suburban mom, who is glad I had a little fun back in the day.

Gross

So many uptight people on here.

Oh please. I know dozens of ppl with multiple piercings and/or many tattoos. They do it for themselves not to appear “fun” to others. And it’s quite a conclusion to think all of these folks are clinically depressed.

How do you know they aren’t?

They do it so people don’t approach them. It’s a way to never be bothered.

It’s either youthful experimentation that will reverse and will be removed as she matures. (My kid was this, thank god!)

Or it’s experimentation and a lean into counter culture that will not reverse, gradually increase, and the cultures and peer group will influence life and career choices……

You are either a main stream adult or you are not. You cannot be both.

Oooh how edgy! Conformist or non conformist. Hippie or worker. Protestor or capitalist.

Love them supposed binary labels.

My kid is super accomplished in sports and academics. And has multiple piercings. Sorry your kid is so binary that it's one or the other. Waiting for DC to get home from the summer job in a medical office as I write this, where everyone loves her.

On the plus side, the piercings won't be so visible when she eventually takes them out.

I would also be concerned with mental health, because she had so many piercings in such short time.

I don't think you know what that means. But, you seem to just want to come on here and be mean. Have at it. You just look dumb, and old-fashioned, making sweeping generalizations about other peoples' kids based on the number of piercings.

WTF does multiple piercings even mean.

Have a triple in your ear is different that walking around w a safety pin in your eyebrow for giggles, or nip rings for the boys or nose rings for the emos.
