All I can say is that she and I are very different. I only have one hole in each ear, and half the time I forget to put in earrings. In Illinois, a new law requires parental consent for body piercing on anyone under the age of 18. But don't expect it to stop teens from piercing and tattooing in places their parents can't check. The good news is that parents can stop worrying that their teens will turn into social misfits, criminals and dropouts if they choose to get a few multiple piercings or discreet tattoos.
Some people get doctorates.
It makes them feel good and special and unique. So I decided to get a tongue pierce. I'm probably going to take it out in a few months. It's not a permanent thing like a tattoo, and tongues heal up really fast. Plus, I talk fine with the barbell in my tongue.
