But there are tribes through the centuries that profess such acts. Whatever floats their boat, I guess. When it comes time to stand before God on Judgment Day, they'll find out whether it was a good thing or not.
My daughter wanted her tongue pierced when she was 16. Her mother would never have allowed it, but she was living with me at the time and I said, "Sure. Let's do it." Personally, I thought it was a pretty dumb idea, but I'm not the one who has to walk around with a pierced tongue.
Her happiness at being "hip" lasted about six months. She then just took it out and left it out. She bothered her mother for two years to have her tongue pierced, almost on a weekly basis. She asked me once, got it pierced, and found out she didn't like it anyway. Case closed. The $50 I paid for the piercing can never be measured against the solace of knowing I don't have to hear a constant barrage of complaints about it. It also made her think twice about requesting stuff. It's one thing to ask for weird stuff if you know you're not going to get it. But if you ask for it and get it, then you have to deal with it, and that's a lot more energy. |
My daughter was out of the house when she wanted her tongue pierced. Lucky for me, I didn't have to make the choice for her. The dude in the piercing parlor said it couldn't be done due to lack of muscle, something or other. Cause she had lack of it, he was afraid he might hit some nerves or something and she would lose control of her tongue's motor function. I guess what he was saying was her tongue was to small to have it done. Thank the Creator for small miracles.
She does however have 3 holes in one ear and 6 in the other ear. A tatoo looking bracelet on her wrist and a what looks like a warrior shield tatoo the size of a dessert plate on her lower back side. All done after she moved out.
She nagged me for months when she was in high school. Finally after about four months of nagging about it. I told her to ask her dad, if he said it was OK, I'd sign for her to have it done. He was packing to go out of town for work for a month when she asked. He said "Hell No" and he would kick both our rear ends when he got back if I allowed her to have it done while he was gone. Didn't hear a peep out of her after that. Once she turned 18 yrs old and moved out on her own, there weren't much I could do about it, altho' I did have my say when she showed me what all she had done.
I'll admit I have seen some pretty artistic images of tatoos. Once the body ages or the texture of skin changes for whatever reason, tatoos and all don't always look so pretty.
I worked with one Harley biker chick lady. She had a pretty tatoo of a colorful parrot tatoo'd on her hip with the long feathers flowing down her thigh, except she had thunder thighs with cellulite which distorted the image.
