My eighteen yr. old son wants to get his lip pierced !!!! (page 2)

small ring won't leave a scar if he takes it out

Untrue. The size of the ring doesn't matter. He will have the hole for life.

At 18 a boy thinks his parents are fools.

At 21 he's surprised how much they've learnt in the last three years.

You could point out that a prospective employer might not like it and it might cost him a job.

Ask him to talk to a dentist first. That dissuaded my daughter from getting a lip piercing.

I'm 32 and have two piercings. One in my upper left ear and another on my right eyebrow. There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't change the person one really is on the inside. And when the time comes, the piercings dissapear and that's it. Pericings are not permanent like, lets' say tattoos (of which I have one and will get a few more).

the piercings dissapear and that's it. Pericings are not permanent

Your experience has differed vastly from mine and others I know. I had two piercings in one ear and one in the other. All three left holes and I've not worn mine for several years now.

I realize it doesn't change who he is , it's more about me being worried it will turn out bad for him . I personally don't dislike piercings on other people , Except EyEbrow ones ...I just have the urge to yank them out ....sorry Mastodon. Is it just the coming of age fad for kids today , or is there an underlying emotional problem linked to wanting to tatoo and put holes in yourself ?

If I were you I would keep your son away from jousting knights and swordfish or he might end up with a bigger piercing that he has planned
