Question

why are people so rude and bothered by people with body piercings..i have them i just want opions on why people are against them and bothered??..if you were a parent would you let your kids do this?..plz dont be rude!

Answer 1

yes I am a parent but he is only four, but I love eyebrow rings, I don't have the right brow or I would have one lol so If he asked in the future I would be all for it

Answer 2

Alot of people are only comfortable with conformity. Everyone being, looking and acting the same in a socially acceptable way is all they are willing to accept. Anyone who goes against that opinion is considered weird, abnormal, frightening, dangerous and/ or delinquent.

It takes all kinds. In some cultures body piercing is beautiful and sign of maturity and social stature or accomplishment.

If I had a child I would like to think that i would let them get body piercings, to an extent. Until they are old enough I think I might limit the amount and places I would be ok with. Once they were mature enough and of a certain age I would let them do as they like as far as body modification goes.

Naturally, some things people are willing to do creep me out and I would probably question some things. As long as my child considered their decisions thoroughly and made sure to keep up on the hygienic aspects I think I would keep an open mind.

Answer 3

I would never let my kids do that. Most people do it as a gang thing and go drinking and stealing other bad things. Plus you should be busy with education, family, friends, helping out the world with your talents etc. why would you have time to Pierce your body like that! Really what is the meaning? Just because a famous star has 67 metal rings in their body does not mean you have to follow along with their stupid choice. Also people will respect and look up to you more if you do not have piercings and tattoos.

Answer 4

First, why any individual is rude is something only the individual can answer, so that question's out.

The general USA population, and most other countries and cultures are accepting of piercings of the ears, mostly in women, but not of other body parts. Because of this, many businesses won't hire someone with nose, brow, lip, tongue, etc piercings, as such an image doesn't fit with their customer base, and personnel dealing with their customers need to appear "normal" to the customer. Discrimination, sure, but it's based on good business sense.

Would I let my children get piercings? The girls ears, sure. Anything else absolutely not! Life it tough enough without doing body "modifications" that will generally turn off most of society. Any such "adornment" would not be tolerated before they left home and were fully self supporting.

The bottom line? I think piercings are OK of women's ears, period! Anything else, including tattoos, simply is cheap looking, and turns me off.

Answer 5

If the piercing is in a place that can be covered when at work, etc., then no problem. When it's the face, it looks odd and frankly, ugly. If my husband is hiring and 2 equally qualified people came in 1 with piercings & 1 without, the less "holey" wins. I had a belly ring, no problem, thought about a tiny diamond nose ring, but chickened out, (thank God!) but eyebrow, tongue, and lips look gross. NO my kids cannot get pierced except ears and no gaping holes(what ever that's called)

Answer 6

I suppose it is because people associate "thugs" and "slackers" with piercings and even tattoos. It is human nature to sum someone up at first glance. You have to understand that if someone has a preconceived idea about someone with piercings, it is most likely because they have encountered certain common characteristics in this crowd that they are associating with you.

It is not a good thing to do, prejudge someone's character before they even have a chance to open their mouth, but knowing that society as a whole tends to associate piercings and tattoos with "Thugs" then this is a hurdle that those who get piercings and tattoos are choosing to have to overcome.

You will simply have to work a little harder at proving you are a benefit to society and not a drain.

The irony of this dilemma is that as you resent having to prove this, you become more of an angry person and tend to retreat, opening yourself up to only those who are just like you. Not interacting with society, all of society, leaves room for the conservative few to continue believing their preconceived notions.

Get out there and show them that you too are a good person and not the thug or slacker that so many with piercings and tattoos have made you out to be.

Answer 7

It sure doesn't bother me. Body piercings are by no means something new..people have been doing it for a variety of reasons down through the ages. If done tastefully, it is like an art form. My brother is a professional body piercer and has been perfecting his art now for nearly a decade. I will allow my daughter (who is now almost 12) to pierce as she pleases. In fact, my brother has done her ears and cartilage.. and when she feels she is ready, she would like a nostril piercing and on from there. Piercing can be a thing of beauty, and it is a strong means of expressing yourself. I don't understand the fuss, so long as you take precautions for your hygiene.

Answer 8

It's not that people oppose of piercings.Its the fact that some people take it overboard with the piercings and instead of it looking fit for that person it looks overdone,and ridiculous,and ugly.So it makes people think well I won't let my child get any piercings because they are gonna end up looking like that.
Also people see to many piercings as unprofessional.Piercings done in moderation always did people good. But going overboard just makes people look ridiculous.

Answer 9

The only piercing I have left is on my left eyebrow. Yes, I'd let my kids do it (if I had any) but not anywhere where it's likely to get ripped off during sports or something like that.

Don't worry about the ones who don't get what it's about. You wouldn't want to talk to them anyway. Now all you have to do is display your piercings and they'll go running back home and hide the children.

Answer 10

There's nothing wrong with body piercings. I see them as a way of expressing one's self. I personally only have two piercings. Got hem as a baby. However i wouldn't get any right now or anytime soon because i'm a total wimp and terribly afraid of the pain. That's why i really admire people who have several.

Answer 11

I am a parent and if one of my children wanted a body piercing, I would make them tell me why, same as I do for anything they want. They have to give me a good reason and, "because its cool" or "I like it" isn't a good enough reason. I would be looking more for an answer that tells me its for a personal statement of some kind and what this particular piercing, tattoo, etc makes that personal statement for them.
