[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 378833"] Okay, this is coming from a chick who is tattooed, pierced and came close to being branded as well. I think you actually set your difficult child up for failure when you that high of a savings quite honestly. I would (and I know we're all different in our family dynamics here) have said save up for the actual cost of the piercing rather than 500 bucks. You are right, it isn't perma but to say to save for nearly 10 to 15 times the amount of what it costs is a bit much in my humble opinion. I'm not trying to be a big "B" or anything but it seemed like you and husband set that goal that high to deter him in the first place from getting the piercing leading him to do what he did. I don't know, maybe I'm just more easier going about piercings (I have 6, two in ears, one nose, one tongue) and 6 tatts. I've told my oldest, do your research, carry around for at least one year what you want, if you still want it then fine and show me you can make an educated decision about it and I'll give you permission at the age of 16 to get one (which is legal with parental written permission here in Ontario, 18 without). I got my first tatt at 18...I can't tell him no when I've got what I've got (or based on that fact) but I will say no if he doesn't show me the responsibility of researching the artist, the shop, what he wants, how it works and what are the pros and cons of it. He'll also have to save up for paying for it himself too. I apologize now if I offended you with this post I didn't mean to if I did. The dynamics of what you posted and the details just kind of sounded like what I perceived above...if it wasn't the case, my apologies. [/QUOTE]
