During teenage years, teenagers start to think about piercing and tattoos and what they want to do with their body. I remember when I was in high school, many friends of mine got piercings. When I was I believe 15 or 16 years old, I wanted to get my belly pierced. The day I went, the person at the piercing parlor tells me that he needed to see my ID.

I personally don’t see nothing wrong if a 15 or 16 year old wants to get a body piercing. I know many times piercing does give you side effects, but many times is very minor. The biggest side effect is an infection that when taken care early, it goes away right away. But I believe piercings is an art body expression. It’s a style and a trend.
