[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you say no to a double ear piercing for a 15.5yr old?  Just curious. What was your reasoning?[/quote]

NP. I’ve told my daughter no because I think it looks trashy. I think that’s why most parents say no. To each their own. [/quote]

Same, I agree, it looks trashy.  Neither of my DD's got extra piercings.  [/quote]

Agree.  While I haven’t said this as a reason though.  While it is “their body” there’s reasons why minors cannot legally make independent decisions to get piercings. Their brain isn’t developed and what you think is cool at 15, may not be what you like at 18+. It isn’t always NBD.  You can get keloid scars from piercings, the hole can stretch, and even if you take out, sometimes the appearance of having a hole there doesn’t go away.  While I agree that a second piercing isn’t a huge deal- it works both ways.  You don’t NEED a second piercing.  It isn’t going to add to your life or style in any significant way- unlike getting a single piercing in ears- which does add a lot of style and variance.  I feel like there are more reasons to wait until older to venture into multiple piercings than to do it impulsively as a young teen. [/quote]
