you might feel disrespected, yet at the same time you are imposing your values on your daughter and are forbidding her from expressing herself

Piercings can always be removed , it isn’t that big of a deal

that being said, you have to handle this right. If you punish her she will just resent you and learn to hide things from you. Instead of just telling her she isn’t allowed to get piercings, you need to open a dialog and discuss the pros and cons.

Set a comfortable environment so that she can come and discuss what she wants to do, and I think you’ll find that she will listen a lot more than if you simply order her not to do something.

as for consequences, don’t punish her, just tell her you’re disappointed

when I got my first tattoo my dad freaked out and called me all sorts of vulgar things… I haven’t spoken to him since. Let your daughter be herself…

I can’t stand Angel wings. I don’t really find them ugly but I find it really arrogant and cheesy.

What do they mean, is the person trying to tell us he/she is like an angel?

I would have been a nice way to remember someone before everybody started getting them done, but now it’s just overdone and doesn’t fit…

It reminds of those kids I see with stuff like “Born to Kill” tattooed on them. Might work for a Marine, but not for a student living with his parents
