Teen Piercing: The Pros and the Cons

Piercings are a very serious thing, but if someone who's an adult wants to get one no one can stop them. Adults are adults for a reason. They are responsible for what they do but when it comes to teens we have to consider everything good and bad about piercings. Parents need to control their sons and daughters, especially when there's a chance they'll try doing it by them themselves. The subject of making piercings available to teens under 18 keeps going on and on. I've had a chance to talk to a professional and get some basic pros and cons.

The Pros:

Some people feel passionate about getting pierced. No one's forcing you to get piercing after piercing and you need to do what you're comfortable with. You can always take them off, and they can be very fun actually. Just like when it comes to other jewels, you can change the earring and choose between lots of shapes and colors.

To be honest they do make you more popular, because they are very cool nowadays. Piercing is not something unique (considering that lot of people have it), but it is a way of expressing yourself. They are a part of your looks so they do represent personality of a person who is wearing it.

I'm sure piercing is not gonna do any harm in any way. Of course, when done properly which is very important to mention too. We know how bratty teens can get, even to the point when they take a needle and try to do it on their own. It's always better to let a professional do it.

Piercings are really not anything bad. If you do it legally, you'll be pleased by the result. They leave little or no scars, so it's nothing to worry about.

The Cons:

Piercings cost, and no one guarantees you, you'll get what you paid for. Some people pass out and others feel sick when doing it. There is always a risk of getting an infection, and it's not anything dangerous but it's not pleasant either.

Navel piercings sometimes cause temperature or vomiting. There are too many types of them but generally speaking every piercing done on cartilage takes more than the usual time to heal.
