How long is this deal for? One month is not long enough. She needs to show she is mature enough for a lot longer than that.

As a mom, wow, you are far more liberal than I! We say no piercings until they live on their own and pay all their bills. If they can do that, then they can determine what they want to do with their body. Until then, their body is ours

Our oldest tried piericing her own ear once, it infected BADLY. Then she tried the nose ring herself. Hubby told her that she must have decided to start paying room and board. Man, that nose ring was out faster than you could blink -- she KNEW he was serious, and she also lost the right to drive for another 6 months. We say if you aren't matue and responsible enough to follow the rules of the house and respect your parent's wishes, then you are definately not mature enough to put a permanent hole in your body.
