i think once a kid has their own idea of what they're style is like, they can get piercings, sure...i hate parents that try to restrict their kids...whatever, piercings can be taken out when they get tired of it...tattoos will have to wait. 

as long as it doesnt affect their growth, it wouldnt bother me to have a kid that wants piercings. maybe one or two, not twenty or thirty until their older.i was 12 when i started piercing myself, so i figure if you dont let them live and learn a little, their going to go do the shit behind your back.

I think alot of you guys over reacted about this post-
as rouslan said "Those 20 y.o. people are so old that they probably can't even remember what they were thinking when they were 10 years old."
I did not think of it that way.
Thats a good way to think of this situation. I'm sure there are some among us who were into body modification at a young age and attempted to do something about it.
I pierced my ears myself at the age of 10. Kids will do or want anything at a young age- its where they start to become a individual or atleast try to.

intra oral? Like mouth? i know thats not true where i live (california) because there are MANY teenagers with their tounges pierced who are under 18.. as long as you have a parent with you.

lately is an understatement but we still love him teehee

anyway. i don't know really.... i can understand the pro's and cons of this. i'd rather pay a good piercer than have my kid do it with safety pins/ sewing needles/ studs/ guns behind my back..... and maybe having piercings will have its same effect on this boy as it does on me i.e. it keeps me out of fights cos i'm scared they'd get ripped out.... which is a good thing cos they keep me out of trouble.

then again, i don't like seeing young kids with piercings. i did get my first 'piercing' at 12...... which hasnt healed properly up till ow cos it was in my upper ear done with a gun. stupid me. i wish i had a parent like this boy's that would have taken me to a studio to get it done properly. i got both my right nostril piercings done before i was 16. with a gun. luckily they healed fine. but yeah.

i don't know what i'd do. anything younger than 10 is a no-no methinks...... but as soon as they're in secondary school, i'd consider allowing maybe a nostril or 2. so basically 11 upwards can be ok. but before i find myself in that position i can't say anything. i'm not a parent. i only have a younger sister i can think of to put myself in this position. i told her to wait till she's older to get a 2nd lobe piercing. i would have taken her myself. but she did it with a stud. so idk......... we'll see.
