Subject: Would you let teen DD get her nose pierced?
I got my nose pierced the day I turned 18. I had wanted it for ages and my parents wouldn't let me.
They let me get my belly button pierced when I was 16, though. I personally don't see why letting her pierce her belly button is any different. Especially if she does it when she turns 18 anyway.
FWIW, I had multiple piercings in my late teens/early 20s, and the only one I still have (I'm 32 now) is a small stud in my nostril. I take it out for work and it just looks like a freckle.

Great PJ O'Rourke quote in The Week:
"The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person."

No. Do any of the women at the country club have nose rings? Or filled in nose ring holes? No. Does RBG have a nose ring? No.

No, of course, I would not allow my minor daughter to put a hole in her nose.

This. My sister got one at 14 and hasn't had it in in over a decade and the hole is still visible. I got my belly button done the same summer and while equally as trashy of a look it left a much more discrete scar since its not on my face. I have kids and don't battle over "independent choices" but I'd protect the face when I can!

No. Belly button - yes. Nose will have to wait until you are out of my house.

I probably would at 16/HS jr but not at 13.

Yes. I figure this is the sort of thing worth compromising on. I'd make the "yes" contingent on her demonstrating that she's responsible enough to care for it without infection, though.

Is she otherwise responsible? If so, I probably would let her.

Nope not until she's 18.

DD wants to.
Personally, i think a small stud in the nose is unobtrusive and can be very pretty. I'm surprised at how open I am to the idea. I can't stand tattoos and things like eyebrow piercings, but this seems harmless to me.
I'm wondering how others feel. (I think I can guess ...)
