Piercings At 12
A friend of my youngest daughter just got her belly button pierced. To make it worse, she did it herself! Now my kids are not into piercing anything, including ears so there is no interest.
I understand the allure of teenagers and young adults but this girl is just 12. Now I have always said that if the worst thing my kids do is color their hair, get a tattoo and pierce themselves, I am probably ahead of the game. But at 12, I am thinking way too young.
What do you think? Too young?

I’m 13 and for a while I’ve wanted my belly button pierced but after reading some of these comments. I’m gonna wait! I’m a gymnast so I’m just afraid that it’s gonna rip out 3 weeks after I get it! I would wait!!! If you get it done get it professionally done. My friend did it herself and it got screwed up badly!!!

He he he. my friend has the same name. 😛
you know, i am 12 and i want a bely button piercing but my parents wont let me. wanna know why? the same reason you think its wrong to pierce your belly button at 12. you are not sexualizing yourself unless you are wear skimpy clothes to show it off i have to yet convince them because they dont get that.
oh, and BTW
you should not have a say on what someone wants to their body. if they know they can get screwed and they still want it, give it to them. even if they dont it wont affect you so if they get screwed, good for them its not your problem
OUCH! Please tell me where you got it done,if it hurt,if you ever regreted it,if you still have it,and how old you are now. please please plese respond…I NEED TO KNOW!!
OK I agree with like everything you said except that 12 year olds can,t make logical decisions. i mean yeah we’re not logical about every single situation but we CAN make at least some logical decisions. Seriously give us some credit…’cause we’re not invalids. Im 12 and im NOT stupid. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t wanna make any mayjor life changing dcisions or anything but i can handle the decisions that im facing today as a 12 year old, and as a 12 year old im saying next time think before you talk and give credit where credit is due!
OUCH! Please tell me where you got it done,if it hurt,if you ever regreted it,if you still have it,and how old you are now. please please plese respond…I NEED TO KNOW!!
stupidssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss im 12 thats discusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll play mommy dearest for the moment and tell all of the children posting on here NO you can not get ANY piercing. I know from personal experience that piercings are hard to take care of as an adult and children are not capable of taking care of them. It’s not just a hole in your body. They require certain anti bacterial sprays that you would expect your parents to buy and if they are not properly taken care of, the infection rate is high. Some people are even allergic to the metal that the tattoo artist will use and sometimes it rejects itself through your skin. What do I mean by that? I mean that it physically forces itself to the top of your skin. When you get a belly button pierced it’s about 1/2 an inch deep. If you’re allergic to the metal it will force itself OUT of your skin. Does that sound like something you want to experience at 12? I didn’t think so. I had my labret pierced. The skin on the inside decided to grow over the back of the stud. Do you know how I got it out? It had to be cut out. Do you want to experience that? I didn’t think so. The fact of the matter is at 12 you are NOT responsible. What’s next do you want a tattoo that you feel your parents should let you get? Let’s pretend there aren’t laws for that for a second. I guarantee you WOULD regret it within 5 years. Stop trying to grow up so fast. As for the little girls using the words “sexualize”, you shouldn’t even say that word because you don’t understand what it means. If I was your mother, we would have a very long chat.
I WANT MINES DONE SOOOOO BAD IM ONLY 11 BUT IM TURINING 12 IN LIKE 5 DAS MY MOM SAID NO BUT HER NO’S ALWAYSS TURN INTO MAYBES;) I WANT MINES DONE SOSOSOSOSOOO BAD.;(
i want MINES DONE SO AD TO MY DAD WOULD KILL ME IF I HAD MINES DONE THOUGH BUT THANKS GOD HE DOESNT LIVE WITH ME.;)
Judging from all these comments, a lot of 12 year olds have their bellybuttons pierced. I’m 16, and when I was 12, the girls with those piercings were instantly named sluts. Most girls still didn’t have their ears pierced. It’s amazing how much can change in 4 years… My parents made me wait until now before they would even think of letting me get anything but my ears pierced. Well, that’s not true, my mom said I could get my bellybutton pierced if she could too. That turned me off it, also a lot of girls in my school did them themselves, and some ended up in the hospital or with serious infections. 12 really is too young for that kind of thing.
I want it done so bad my mom said wait until I’m 16 but that makes me reallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy mad because slot of girls at my school have it done and u only live once but it’s almost christmas so I think she might let me then
Ughhh YALL CONFUSE MEEHH!!!.!!! Im 10 i want a pearcing sososos bad ….im gunna do it .. But i dont have a profecional neddle or anything like dat..i have regular neddles … So can some one give me tue correct steps.?? (,Dont judge)
hello…so I am 12 turning 13 in september and I OBSESSED with piercings! I only have 5 but have had 6…I have my monroe (upper lip) doubles (but only 1 cause the other got embedded) singles and my cartalige and honestly if your daughter wants a piercing its her body and her choice youu can ALWAYS take piercings out or put retainers in them! luckily my parents are really cool about piercings and tattoos which is nice (by that way I have no tattoos I have to wait ill I am 15 or 16 so its legal):p but anyways I dont think I could survive without piercings, or hair dye, or makeup and no I am not emo or goth I am extremly girly! and also parents if your daughter wants a piercing that you dont like or you think is trashy and you say no all their gonna do is pierce it themselves to rebel against you! just saying..
where did you get it done?
You let ur daughter do tht? what a slut
I’m 16 and honestly you’re all nothing until you’re 18. Your parents own you and your body until you are a legal adult. If your parents have the right to feed you, clothe you, put a roof over your head, pay your cell phone bill, (and at 12) pay for everything else you have ever touched, then it’s their decision whether you pierce yourself. Whether you wear skimpy clothing or not, belly button peircings are sexual, so are thongs, and so are a lot of things. Honestly, your ideas about being so young and doing that are immature. Be 12, no body peircings, tattoos, or make-up. You have your entire life to screw up and your parents don’t want to be responsible for that.
let her get it im getting mine done in march and in 12 almost 13 !!!!
Are you effing kidding me. You’re 14 and telling a 12 year old to go home and pierce their bellybutton themselves if they feel they can do it? Any parent who lets their 11 or 12 year old get ANYTHING other than their ears pierced obviously isn’t a good parent. And piercing your tongue yourself is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life. You can hit a vein and bleed to death or hit a nerve and paralyze your tongue. Don’t be retarded. And all you 12 year olds, you don’t need your bellybutton pierced yet. I’m 17 and trust me, it doesn’t make you look cool. Not at 12. Never let a 12 year old get their belly pierced. That’s just showing them they can do whatever they want.
Okay, I am 16 years old and I have my nose pierced, my cartilage, my first second and third holes for my ears, and my belly button. I got my ears and cartilage done when I was 12/13 and when I was 14 I got my belly button done. If you want to convince your parents, talk to them about responsibility and being mature. Tell them you will clean your room and make other compromises. And also, it’s not a tattoo, so it can go away if you take it out.
I want mine done a lot 2 I’m 12 also but my mom says I’m in for it if I even tell her I want one done
Where is his place? I really want mine done and my dad said yes but he don’t know a place.! So can you tell me where his place is at?
to LOL: you’re just some ten year old idiot, not an adult. Honey, our spelling errors just make it a dead giveaway. So quit being fake and hut your damn mouth
well im 12 and i want to get one for my 13th bday how do i get my mom to let me go get one?
I’m 18, and I got mine done professionally. It is ALOT of work, especially in the first few months. It’s a disgusting process to heal, and takes 6-12 months. Not to mention it limits you during the summer(no swimming) to various activities. However, it’s really cute if you have a pretty stomach and once it’s healed you’ll love it. I regret it because to me it isn’t worth the scarring later and I had a lot trouble with it. Some days it would just swell up and be swollen and red. Because its close to your major organs you don’t want it infected. Which is very common. Make sure you really want it because the scar will be there forever. If youre responsible, go for it. It’s grown on me
I just did mine yesturday by my self and it did not hurt at all but now it hurts i am 12 going on 13 in march and i am going to do my cuzins todat
if its only ears peirced that is fine at 12. but belly button peircing maybe at 16 or 18. give her the chance to have her ears peirced once because it’s sort of a nice privilidge.
well i have mine done and i didet when i was 11 so deal i love this thing and i dont regret it at all just look at mirrin coment she right it’s your body do what you want with it i mean come on i love mine and if your dautgher sorry i think its foe boyZ wants one she should be abell to once agine its there body not yours if you think stopping them is good they want it more now that you wont let them get it i think the right age is 12 yeah i think 12 should do it i mean there just truning into teens soon so. If they want it then latter on they do want it anymore then that was there mustake not your PARENTS so and was there lesson they dont get another changs dael with it and get over it. (well i think this is my own comment but i’m pritty shoure i can 99% of all kids that want it to agree with me sorry PAREBT but its time to give your kids respoitbilletes wateves come on so this was just to rape up on your finger tips on what you think bye<333
Im 12 i just got mine done and i love it there is nothhing wrong with it and it didnt hurt one bit its not infected or anything so i think u should let her get it done she can take it right outtt if she dont like it
I think if a 12 or 13 year old want to have sex they can as long as they know protection is always best before doing it. And there is onthing wrong with getting your bellybotton pierced my friend done mine with a needle and nothing has happened yet sooo who cares let them be they’re gonna have to grow up sooner or later.
– Babes- what did you get done? Your belly button?
I think its ok to have things that they can and can’t do. But ears should be fine at 12 I was about 6 maybe 7 when my parents let me pierce mine. But I’m 19 now and I just got my belly button pierced. Yes my mom freaked out but she finally realized its my body. But I won’t allow anyone to pierce themselves. Its not safe so never lets your daughter pierce herself. Good thing to do is let her research the pros and cons to each thing she will want to do. That how I finally made up my mind to pierce my belly button.
where can u get ur cartilage pierced at the age of 12 i really want to get mine done i went into claires and they sed that i have to be 16 and i even asked if they would let me if i had an adult and they still sed no HELLPPPP MEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m 12 and I want mine pierced but I havent asked yet but in my opinion yes 12 is a good age to get your belly button pierced.
