"A Napier mother has been asked to remove her 10-year-old old son's facial piercings because of "safety issues".
Shaquille Rollinson got the piercings through his right eyebrow and his lower lip two years ago, with his mother Donna's permission, because they were "cool".
Ms Rollinson said she was "shocked" to receive a call from suburban Onekawa Primary School's principal last week condemning her son Shaquille's piercings.
"He lectured me, and basically told me he shouldn't have been allowed to get it, and I should be a more responsible parent," she told Hawke's Bay Today.
She said neither she nor Shaquille knew the school frowned on piercings as it did not have a uniform or dress code, and there were no clauses about piercings in the school policy.
Ms Rollinson conceded it was unusual for a child to have facial piercings, but Shaquille "saved and saved" to get his and looked after them very carefully.
She said the school was "over-reacting" and there were "plenty" of pupils with belly-button piercings who were not singled out.
"This is primary school. Shaquille's there to learn, not cause trouble. As long as he covers it up, it shouldn't have anything to do with his education."
Principal Wayne Keats said 10-year-olds were prone to playing rough and the school was concerned Shaquille's piercings could cause him an injury.
He also had concerns about the "appropriateness" of the piercings at school."

If you had (or have) a 10 year old, would you let them get facial piercings?

That kid kicks ass.

That is all.

He's 10 now, so he got them when he was 8??

I don't think that's right, i don't care if he 'saved and saved' and looks after them real carefully, i think is too young.

Age restrictions on body mods are there for a reason.

its shitty to think that the kid is getting persacuted for his piercings though 10 is kinda young i could see more like 14-16. As for the ruff housing thing well there are adults who get there piercings riped out in fightes and beyond that a guy i know who runs a shop took out his bridge due to the fact that his t shirts whould snag it and it was uncomfortable... even after all this i have friends who work in a higher end daycare who have faciel piercings and there is no trouble and the kids that there around are only 2-6. pieces of this are just rediculous and some of it is understandable....

Originally posted by BxtremeDmodSxM well 8 is a pretty ridiculous age - but parents allow their infants to get ear piercings.

Yeah and most with guns
I guess 'cause ear piercings are seen as the most mainstream, comon and 'safe' piercings to get, therefore it's not frowned upon.
I hate seeing infants with ear piercings...




I forgot to say in my last post aswell, who would pierce a 8 or 10 years old lip and eyebrow anyway? back ally dodgy piercer?
