With body piercings i think it is up to the individual. Although maybe under 13 is pushing it a bit far.
Also dont believe intimate piercings should be allowed - can't be good for you lol!
I'm not taking the piss at all it's my opinion, I thought the point of this forum was opinion...
Therefore I believe that piercing children under 14 should be illegal, and children over 14 should only be allowed basic lobe piercings with parental consent. Any other forms of body mod should be 18+. IMO.
I suspect it's just as painful for a baby, and certainly more distressing, as it has no idea what's happening to it.
The hygiene argument is only valid if you've got a man who is incapable of locating his dick to clean it. And the hygiene argument certainly doesn't hold any weight when you compare it against not mutilating an infant.
Ok, fair enough. It is an interesting topic, and lots of people have opinions on it, someone should start a thread...
Whoah, far out- I completely disagree.
Your "therefore" doesn't make any sense, you start with a quite good argument about how a baby can't communicate by talking, then go on to conclude that under 14s can't consent. I think kids start being more than verbal enough about their wants and dislikes after about 2, though I forget- was a long time ago.
Agree with the first part. Don't agree with the 2nd though. I got all mine done under 14 and really wanted them. I don't regret them. I think when the child asks and when everything is explained to them and they still want it, then let them. If it goes wrong you can always take it out.
16+ for belly/nose
17+ for nipples/genitals etc
I wanted my nose done at 12, and if my mum had said yes, i'd have had it done, and now I am soooo glad I had no choice in the matter!
