she is respectful, kind, and gets good grades. She wants this piercing and i know that she is responsibe enough to make her own decision. she is very mature, and knows that i wont allow anything flashy. I would like to know if i should let her get it done. I will also contact her doctor before letting her do this. She is 100 percent sure she wants this.

I had my nose pierced at 15...no problems. I am now 29 and have no visible scar..can't even tell I had one. I am also a normal mother of a three year old who has a professional job and a college education. Let the girl pierce her nose...she will be fine. It's just a phase.

I am now 19 years old. When I was 13/14, the only girls who had facial percings were NOT "good" girls. Whether or not she is a mature, gets good grades, etc, she is going to be seen differently by alot of people for having this percing at such a young age. I went through the same fazes. I even had my labret pierced when I was 16 for 2 weeks. She will get over it, and if not, she can do it when she's 18. I was 100 percecnt sure I wanted a tatoo when I was 16, I wanted to move to California when I was 17, I wanted my nose pierced when I was 14. I GOT OVER IT. I'm glad I did none of these things and thankful the scar from my labret piercing isn't visable. Girls are growin up much too fast these days. ALSO I work for one of the country's biggest insurance companies and I would have never been hired if I had a facial piercing. She needs to consider this [yes, they can be taken in and out but that is a huge ongoing health risk & annoyance]. Please rethink this decision...

I think you shold let her get it. I dont get why people say she will get pregnant if she gets a nose ring. How does that make sense??? I was a normal teenager when I got my nose pierced and now I am a college graduate with a career. I took mine out when I got my good job and you cant even tell I had one. There is just a tiny little mark which you cant see unless you are up close and its covered by makeup anyway. She should always wear a tiny little diamond though, the big ones look trashy. Thats what I had, sometimes people would even say they couldnt tell I had one since it was so small.
Its not like she wants a tattoo that will never some off! I would say no to that, but I think the piercing it not a big deal. I got my nose peirced without my mom knowing, then when i got home I thought she would be mad, but she wasnt, she even said, its cute! She said it could be worse, like a lip ring or something. eww

I think it would be fine for you to let her get the piercing. You know your daughter better than anyone here, and generally if you feel she will take care of the piercing or any problems that arise, I say go for it, but use caution with who you go to for the piercing. But in all honesty, she is underage and you are the adult so it all comes down to your choice. If you don't feel its wise to do it now, tell her maybe next year, or maybe when she is 16 or 17. I say go for it, but its not my place to tell you how to do your parenting.

Just a note from a professional piercer to a concerned mom; many doctors frown upon piercings and might not give you the okay you are looking for. The best thing the doctor could do is test her for metal allergies so you know what material to get for the jewelry. Also, doctors don't always offer the best advice about how to heal piercings properly and correctly. I get crap from my doctor all the time and I've been told to use rubbing alcohol for all of my piercings which is a big no-no in the professional piercing community. Doctors are very smart, but piercings aren't your average wound. Things like Bactine, alcohol, neosporin and peroxide are some of the worst things you can use on a piercing.

If you decide to get it done, please go to a reputable professional piercer and have the piercing done with the proper tools and jewelry. Piercing guns are NOT acceptable at all for any piercing.

As long as she takes care of the piercing, she'll be fine. And even if she doesn't want it later on, its simple to take out the jewelry and that's that. The scar left behind is very minimal as long as no serious trauma is caused to the area.

That's really great that she's a good kid, but she's way too young for a nose piercing. She doesn't need to walk around with one in her nose right now. She should be able to get one when she's of age which is 18. By then she's an adult and can make her own decisions. Your the mother so in the end it's your choice not ours, but my personal opinion would be NO. She's far too young, and they actually don't make a young pretty girl look good.

I think as long as you find a reputable body piercer and you and her are both informed as to how the piercing is done and how to care for it afterwards, I don't see why not. I think you should have her stick to a nose stud once it has healed. It is less flashy. All you will see is the stone or the little ball/star etc that is on the end. Don't go with nose screws because those are a pain.

I think if your daughter is a mature girl for her age and you are okay with it then let her. At least she isn't asking for a navel ring LOL!!!

I would not allow her to get her nose pierced. I would have her wait until she was in high school. I have told all of my children that I would not allow anything like that until they were in high school. She may be mature but I think the longer she has to wait then the more she would have thought about it. Sometimes, we really want something in the beginning but after thinking about it for sometime, we might change our minds. You should be very proud that she is respectful, kind, and most of all gets good grades. If you do allow this, please make sure she goes to a reputable establishment. Good luck

From your previous question and the way you've written this question tells me your the teen who wants their nose pierced, not the parent. Don't lie when you ask questions, it'll just get you accused of trolling and reported. Nose piercings are better at 13 than some other types of piercing.

I had my nose peirced at 25 and I loved it. I developed a lot of scar tissue from the peircing and had to take it out. Now you can see the hole where the peicing once was. Your daughter may want this now, but what about when she gets a job and her employer will require she remove it. It is possible that she would be discriminated against in the future for having it. My daughter wants her belly button peirced and I told her that she would need to wait until she was 16.

I see nothing in the world wrong with it. While you may not agree, there is really nothing harmful about a nose ring. I would be careful not to let the nose piercing escalate and be the open door for anything she wants though. Let her know that there may be a small scar there....also, if I were you, I would make her pay for it herself.
