I'm allowed to get a peircing anywhere other than my face. Her reason: "You have such a nice face." I got my ears peirced when I was four. And I can get a tattoo. But I can't pierce my face. Which is lame, because those are the only piercings I want. Does she want me to come home with pierced nipples or something??? And JUST because of this, the minute I move out, I'm getting EVERYTHING on my face pierced. I've waited long enough, now I want it ALL done.

If it was my kid, I'd totally let them do it. It's their face; as long as they aren't hurting themselves (the bad kind of self-mutilation), I don't see why they shouldn't be able to get a piercing. There are few health risks...and once you get a piercing out of your system, your less likely to do everything after you move out...
