I'd never object to letting my child get piercings or dying hair or anything like that. However, they'd have to either raise the money themselves or work for it. I'm reeeally cheap and try to spend my money sparingly.

For the parents that say their kids aren't allowed peircings, do you even mean on the ears? That's usually the only place the stricter parents will let their kids get piercings. I got mine done when I was four. I've been dying my hair since I was nine.

As for cells, I really don't care for them. It would be nice to have one, but they cost so much money in the long run. I'd probably keep mine off and only take calls on weekends so they're free.
