Totally agree with little kids piercings, especially when they have no say in the matter!
I don't have any piercings at all - my sister had her ears pierced and went through the "discharge" stage, which was v. disgusting and has put me off - although it's never been something that I've been particularly keen on! - On myself that is, they look very pretty in moderation. Less is more IMO!!
Imagine having your tongue pierced and getting a loop of spaghetti or noodles stuck round it eurgh!!
