Ther Brat and I have had the most mahoosive argument last night - we are now not speaking to each other so hopefully this should guarantee some peace.
Cause of the argument - tongue piercing. She wants her tongue pierced but obviously needs my consent as she is only 15.
I have categorically refused.
Apparently I am " stifling her freedom to express herself" .... Banghead
Whenever I think of expressing myself with a stud on my tongue I think of something completely different eyes:
So anyways I asked her what exactly it expresses .
"Oh why should I bother, you don't understand nothing " - a reasoned argument don't you agree ? . I am so proud noooo:

I hate them, but that's just personal angel1
Here's some ammunition razz:
Currently, there are no certification or training standards for body piercers. Anyone can grab a needle (which may be contaminated with AIDS or Hepatitis B, C, D or G) and puncture someone else's body. Oral piercing, in particular, poses some serious risks because of the high number of bacteria normally found in the mouth. It's a procedure that should not be taken lightly.
Tongue piercing can lead to serious infection, lost teeth, nerve injuries, blood poisoning - even death scared2:. The most serious risks include:
Infections
According to the Hepatitis C Foundation, body piercing has contributed significantly to the spread of Hepatitis C (also known as HCV), a disease that public health officials predict will kill more people than AIDS in the next millennium. The National Institutes of Health has identified piercing as a potential source for other bloodborne hepatitis (B, D and G). The deadly AIDS virus can also be transmitted during body piercing, if the piercer uses a contaminated needle.
Toxic Shock
A serious form of blood poisoning, commonly known as toxic shock syndrome, can enter the body through the piercing wound and spread throughout the body. Symptoms of TSS include high fever, muscle aches, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, a rapid pulse and a sunburn-like rash. TSS is potentially fatal, so if you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to be evaluated by a healthcare professional immediately.
Lung aspiration of the jewelry
The barbell placed in a pierced tongue can come off. If the post (the needle-like portion of the jewelry that goes through the tongue) is swallowed, it can obstruct the airway and aspirate into the lung, or perforating the bowel or the intestine, causing death.
Tongue swelling and bleeding
In response to the trauma of a piercing, a tongue will swell - sometimes to the size of a large pickle. This poses the risk of airway blockage, which can result in death. The major vessels of the lingual artery and vein are located in the tongue and, if pierced, will bleed profusely. If a piercing wound bleeds excessively (i.e., for more than an hour after the piercing), see your physician immediately.
Other non-life threatening problem are:
Pain - The diameter of the to 14-gauge needle usually used to pierce tongues is seven times greater than the needle used in traditional dental anesthesia.
Cracked teeth - Frequently, people with pierced tongues accidentally bite down on the stud while chewing, chipping or cracking a tooth.
Speech interference - The tongue plays a large role in your speech, and some people complain that they can't speak clearly after getting their tongues pierced.
Traumatic neuromas - altered sensation can develop, which produce nerve injuries in the tongue.
Some individuals experience allergic reactions to the jewelry, particularly if it is not made of surgical steel, gold or titanium.
Gum damage - The jewelry can rub against the gums and cause them to recede, or pull back from the teeth. This can lead to gum disease and eventual tooth loss.
Keloid formation - Large growths of scar tissue protrude from the piercing on both the top and the underside of the tongue.
Prolonged or permanent drooling - In some individuals, their bodies naturally respond to the invasiveness of the tongue piercing by increased salivation. This response cannot be consciously controlled.
Damaged sense of taste - The American Dental Association stands firmly against the practice of oral piercing. The National Institute of Health and The National Hepatitis Foundation have also taken a position against tongue piercing. Many dentists recommend that you think twice before undergoing the procedure.

Piercings are bad and wrong.... noooo:
-
Also most schools get very upset about them and make students remove all but a single earring in each ear lobe.
Woodstock recently ordered a much pierced student from her room unless she removes her piercing adornments. Particularly the tongue piercing that makes the girl's speech completely unintelligible. That girl has now been banned from entering the college unless she arrives at the front desk without her various bars, rings and studs and the receptionist has been tasked with "inspecting" her each time she signs in.
It is a fad and one that many regret when they grow up.

Round here there are women who look older than me with tattoos all over the place, arms, shoulders, hands, feet, legs, they also have piercings in various places. The better ones are not attractive in any way the worse ones, which usually include a weight problem are vomit inducing.
Thus far I have managed to resist the temptation to join in this strange and bizarre inkfest.
