BOTH of those stories are amazing...the only thing I will ever get pierced besides my ears which are already pierced is my bellybutton. They actually say that piercing your bellybutton is safer than piercing your ears or any other part of your body for that matter!
My friend who is almost fifteen has every part of his earS pierced, his tounge pierced, eyebrow pierced like three times, a chin bolt, his lip pierced, and his nipples pierced. He also has three tattoos... His parents let him do whatever he wants, he's really crazy! I feel bad he has such sucky parents, but they're fun... Can't believe I used to go out with him! But anyway, it's a very good thing he was never stuck in a lightening storm!!!!!!!!!!!
