I still haven't figured out why parents would let their 14 year old children get tattoos or these gauged earrings.
If an adult wants to get something permanent done to their body, fine, but a young teen?
I just wonder how many will regret it when they become young adults.
That is exactly why I told my 3 boys they could not get a tattoo or piercing while they were living in my home. My oldest son got some piercings after college and still didn't want to tell me (he did, but he acted pretty embarrassed). He had them about a year and then let them grow back (fortunately it wasn't anything like those silly ear things, I bet THAT never grows back!). And, as far as I know, none of ever gotten a tattoo, altho I suppose it's possible they have one on a part of their body I don't ever see!
