I can’t speak to piercings since I’ve never had a desire to go beyond two holes for earrings, but I remember when I started college in the mid-90’s, tattoos were all the rage. My Dad “threatened” me with withholding any college money he had allotted to me, and while all of my friends were off at the tattoo parlor I was sitting in the dorm jealous. Twenty years later, I am still eternally thankful to my Dad, as it saved me from doing something permanent I’m sure I’d regret daily. Plenty of my friends were piercing their belly buttons, noses and tongues, and it just seemed like a hassle to keep sterile…no thanks! It always seems like a fun thing to do at that age, but tell her to think ten years into the future and that might make any urge go away :-)
