Would you allow your 15 year old to get a nose piercing?

For me it would depend on how visible the after scars would be?

Anything which produces a scar I wont approve of before they are 18.

My daughter is 15 also and recently asked for multiple piercings along her ear lobe, I said absolutely not


She then asked if she could shave a bit of her eyebrow ( apparently its a trend) to this I said yes ofcourse.

Because brows grow back right ✅

She did it then a few days later was sick of it . I said thats ok as no permanent damage. Done Imagine if you had - a handful of piercings?
hmmm she quickly saw my point after all.

@Summerbreeze45 🤫 sounds like your daughter has played you the point is if you put your foot down and say she cannot will she still go against your wishes and defy you

Yes as long as she accepts responsibility to take care of it as it heals. Times have changed.

You might as well let her cause if you don't they just become even more rebellious

You should be glad that a 15 year old boy isn't asking for that. 😅

[c=4C0073]i would if they do all chores forever! 😈[/c]

I got mine too with 15. 🤭

I wouldn’t like it, no. Whether or not I could actually prevent it—I don’t know. 🙁

Yes.
I did. My girl was 15.
Her father was soooo mad at me.
But I didn’t care.
It’s her own self expression and its an easy fix if it doesn’t suit the girl, or if she hates it.
It’s easily removed. :)

I got my nose pierced at 14. I say go for it. These are the years where they can get away with it before they have to conform to work dress codes. The piercing will just heal whenever she decides to remove it anyway.

sure... long as she/ he cares for it... it's an ancient tradition.

even in my and my wife's family.

i have one.. wife had one.. eldest have 'em....

tradition.

No. If I had a daughter (or son for that matter), they would not be able to make their own choices and decisions in such matters until they reached legal age.

As long as I could sit down and talk with them about the type of piercing and the reasons behind getting them I'm fine with it.

Getting one because it's an everyone else thing, or to attract someone else isn't a valid reason in my opinion.

Yes, because if she doesn't have your permission she'll figure out a way to do it anyway. It's just a nose piercing.

I have loads of piercings, yet no I wouldn't let them. I wouldn't stand in their way, just wouldn't sign anything to say they can, mainly because they are still growing and because it's possible to get bumps on the piercing and it needs a lot of aftercare. Or just not to be played with

I wouldnt but look on the brightside she could have asked for other piercings so you got lucky.

anxiety needs special attention.

make sure she and you get one a good, open basis.

just adding that, nostril piercings are relative to that logic otherwise.

and anxiety is long term, make sure she gets the help she needs mental and physical.

it isn't always one sided she could have health of the physical also!
i did.

mine was from malignant hypertension. (oh and growing up fostered made me nuts!!!)

I never had a nose piercing but you only live once so say yes as if it makes her happy and it’s not as dangerous as drugs or alcohol let her go for it. With anxiety it’s horrible and With that you need to put in more effort to give her a good life and equal opportunities , same when a kid is physically ill or disabled. I don’t mean crazy stuff but this seems harmless as long as it doesn’t get infected and as long as you go with someone reliable.

At 15 seems ok. It is a growing trend

No. Why do they need it?

Nope, I would not.

I think its okay

At 15 I'd be okay with it, as long as my daughter knows how to take care of a piercing. A nose ring can easily be removed if she doesn't like it, and nobody would be the wiser.

No, It is better than tatoos, but any piercing of the skin, or other parts of the body are a risk, especially now!

I wouldn't. And I also wouldn't allow her 'anxiety' to fuel any decision I made. But you know the situation better than me.

She can get a nose piercing when she gets a job and pays for it. LOL

You think what she's doing now is wild wait till she is 18

No. I am an extremely mean and uncool Daddy

Yes

You should boost her confidence. Nose piercing is harmless.

Thanks for your input everyone. Have to get back to work 🙂

That was always my answer and I just caved 😩

absolutely.

As long as she knows how to take care of it, doesn’t let it get infected, it should be okay.
