I have several ear pircings. I have the belly button ring. I'm normal weight, but I don't wear clothes to show my tummy off. I like The belly button ring really well.
The bellybutton pierce hurt way less than the ear piercing did!

I have three piercings in each ear, and I sorta want to get a small nose piercing. I also want a small tattoo on my shoulder/upper arm place haha or on my back.
Hi BCBlondie! Welcome to Pet Talk!
I have several tattoos and love them. No matter how old I get, I love them! :D
My friend, who's the smae age as me(13, almost 14) told me that her friend, also the same age, got her belly button pierced last year.
I thought that it was too young, but what do you guys think?:p
I like piercings, but nothing really 'unusual'. I have two in each ear, and that's it, but I'm still young and I will get more when I get older. My older sister who is 20 has three in each ear, one up high (in her ear), and her belly button done also. I really want one of the ones up high and my belly button done, but my mom says I can't until I'm 18 lol. That's what my sister did when she turned 18, because she hates smoking;)
My friend (13) pierced her belly button by herself!!!!!:eek: :eek: Then less than a week later she took it out:p
I got my first piercing when I was 10, and my seconds a week before Christmas of this year. I would always pinch myself 'practicing' how much it would hurt:rolleyes: :p Then I went and got them done, and it didn't hurt at all! Pinching myself hurt worse;) But I'm still scared that it will hurt too much to get my belly button done:p :)
I dig almost all body piercings. I've seen some really crazy ones and, as for my personal space, most of them would be inappropriate. But, I love to see what people do to themselves. I've seen almost all of the kinds you can get, but, I think the strangest I've seen up close and personal was a guy that had ball type piercings all down his spine. It was incredible! Not at all the type of person I'm "attracted" to, but, also not unattractive. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, for myself, I only have my ears pierced once a piece, but, I want to get one more in each ear and then one high in the cartilage of my left ear. My boyfriend has his tongue pierced, and, that's nice, but, I couldn't do that to myself. I just don't think I'd keep it. And, I like labrets, but, wouldn't personally get one because of an ex. I'd look like a copycat, and, I'm not having that! ;) (bad breakup, still hang with a lot of people that knew us, so, that could be bad!) I also want to get a tattoo, but, I'm still debating on what and where. Anyway, I give two huge, exuberant thumbs up for body piercings!
I would recommend to get a professional to do piercing. Infections can happen, if you try to do it yourself. It is also better to have your parents permision. Makes life easier to keep them happy.
I wasn't even allow to wear makeup. As soon as I got 18. I got to buy makeup. I was a happy girl! :D
I LOVE makeup!:D I think I started it at gr.4 or 5:p
I loved it too, and still do! :D Before I was allowed to wear make up, I was having to use lead pencils to darken my blond eye brows!:rolleyes: Some of the kids at school would let me borrow their makeup. I would have to wash it off before I got home.:p
I was a sneaky one.:D
Wow! 4or 5? You have cool parents!:D
I think she meant grade 4 or 5. ;)Quote:

It's a good thing I have a son, and not a daughter, I suppose. I personally think a lot of girl these days are wearing way too make-up, and doing it way too young. I swear, I have seen girls in grade school with so much make-up on, that I wondered if they were in a school play or something. No, my son says, they look like that everyday. Same with the grade school girls in panty hose, heels and mini skirts. OMG.
If I had a daughter, she would certainly think I was so not cool. Because there would be no way my grade school aged kid would be wearing makeup or dressing like a street-walker.
I don't even think make-up is appropriate for middle school girls, personally. I see these girls at my son's school who are twelve and thirteen, and they look like seventeen year old. Sad.
Twisterdog, I know how you feel. I tried to control my daughter about makeup. It just made her revolt against me, and sneak and wear it. I had fits one day when I came in and caught her drinking in our home, when she was 15. Again she revolted and drank with other teens. I mean in very unsafe places.
Mahayana let his boys use their own judgement. They never got into trouble. In fact, they did not care for fast cars or drinking. They tried drinking at home but didn't sneak out to drink. They turned out great from his trust of their judgement.
I can't say for sure that not allowing your children to use their own judgement is good or bad. I have been thinking that if I had trusted her more she might have had a better life. The other girls at her school were allowed to wear makeup. They wore less than she did. I blame a lot of her troubled young life on myself for not allowing her to make a few judgements for herself.
Maybe somthing different with each child. I wish I knew the answer.:confused:
Oh, I hear you. There are NO easy answers. If there are, I haven't found them yet. You try to do everything the best you can. Sometimes it's good enough, and sometimes it's not. Some kids run amok, some kids are straight-laced. It seems like it depends more on the kid than the parenting style. My mom says if you have four kids, you have to have four completly different parenting styles, because what works for one kids fails miserably on another. Raising kids is SO hard, and I think we always feel we haven't done a good enough job, no matter what.Quote:

not 4 or 5 years old!:eek: :p lol
I kind of knowed that!:D I thought it would be funny to pretend I didn't. LOL! :D
I agree with letting kids or teens make their own judgements for the most part. I mean, I would tell them in no uncertain terms what I preferred, and, educate them on pros and cons on all situations as much as possible. But, honestly, it's just all about fitting in. I know with me, my mom wouldn't let me wear makeup, and, I never really gave her too much he** about it, and, now, at 27, I own very little makeup, and, it's only applied about twice a year. I think too much makeup is nasty anyway, regardless of the age. But, it's about self expression at some point, and, squashing individuality is just asking for trouble. But, then, alot of girls just do it to blend in with the crowd. It's all just so confusing! I don't have any kids, but, I'm getting the feeling of what it's like, because I've been a friend and teacher (sometimes student) to my 18-year-old niece for about ten years now, and, she's been an amazing lesson for me. It's been fun, but, hard to let even her grow up! I don't know how parents do it sometimes. Kudos to all of you. ;) Especially MY mom and dad, of course!
