Teenage Girls With Belly Button Rings
September 11, 2008 by Robert
Well, the girl is aged 14 and she really wants to get the belly ring because it’s cool, fashionable, many of her friends have it, and…it just looks nice!
However, in many states the law says that before 18 the children have to get their parents’ consent before performing body piercing…
Wait! Body piercing. Right. But think this first - many people choose to PIERCE their children’s EARS while they’re still INFANTS!
Yes, it is nothing uncommon for a 6 months old infant to get the ears pierced - follow this link for more information about baby ear piercing.
And when a girl aged 14 decides to get her navel pierced…isn’t this decision by far more responsible if compared to one made by parents for their child who even can’t speak and tell them if the piercing hurts, or feels sore after some time so that they can know if some infection has started? Well - I think it is.
OK, but some might say that first there’s the navel, then the rest of the body will follow, then the girl will get tattoos, start doing drugs…No, no, better not to go ahead with the navel piercing so that these all problems don’t follow!!!
But better we look at this problem from a different angle. The latest trends suggest that belly button piercing has gone mainstream and should not be considered as body modification along with monstrous stretched piercings or facial piercings. Belly rings have become fashion accessories like rings, necklaces, earrings etc.
Look at the celebrities having belly rings.
Read this about belly piercing going mainstream.
And what would you say about diamond belly rings? I think that the very existence of such high-end stuff clearly indicates that not only some punks pierce their navels:-)
To recap all this I’d like to point out another worrying thing. When teenagers are not allowed to get that long wanted belly piercing they sometimes do perform self navel piercing. And this is bad. There’s infections and other complications that can and more likely will occur if the piercing isn’t performed by a professional piercer in a studio.
Read this story about self-piercing.
Understand this - I’m not saying - let’s threaten your mom you’re gonna do the piercing yourself. All I’m saying is that although the parents might not completely like the idea of their 14 of 13 year old daughter have navel piercing, it is worth having it done in a professional manner than to put the child’s health at risk.
And think about the fun the parents can have together with their girls going to the piercing studio - read this piercing story!
