[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 378844"] I tend to agree with mamaof5 and the only piercing I have is a hole in each ear. Lol. My son first asked about getting an ear piercing when he was about 8 or 10 years old. He was always a kid a bit out there in style and I think he wanted to be the first to do it. At that time I said no because he was so young, and i didn't want him making that kind of choice before he even hit puberty. He lost interest for a while. When he was around 15 i did take him to get an ear pierced. My reasoning was that by then I had let my daughter get her ears pierced and she was younger than she was. So it felt totally sexist to me and I also felt that he soon would find a way to do it himself and I didn't want that. He tattoos after that and I told him when he is 18 and can pay for it himself....so that will probably happen soon. So I agree the $500 was too much and probably felt impossible to him and also a means for you to prevent him from doing it. I think the consequence of checking the back pack is a good one. I don't know how you do this but I think you might want to consider talking to him about the whole situation and then find a way to let him get his earn pierced safely. [/QUOTE]
