OK, so the college senior came home with an eye brow piercing

[hedgehog]

She's a good kid and I'm not worried at all about her choices regarding drugs or sex. I should

[northzax]

1. simply ignore her

completely. no daughter of yours would do this, so this must be an imposter.

2. Start buying her new jewelery for it all the time

Then start asking her things like "How home I never see you wearing that nice ______________ ring for your eyebrow that I bought for you last month? I thought it looked great!!!"

She might just give it up as a bad idea.

5. I second that!

as soon as parents think something is cool, kids drop it like a hot rock.

3. Whatever you do, don't ask

if she has any less visible piercings.:evilgrin:

4. Make sure she takes care of it and avoids infection n/t

6. Awwww!

My Mother is an importer/exporter and her apprentice has a nose ring and eyebrow piercing. I tend to think it's not a big deal anymore. Just make sure she takes care of it like she should.

7. It sounds like a problem that may take care of itself

If you see it as a problem. She's a senior in college, so she'll either have to take it out to find a job, or get a job where it's not a problem. If she doesn't act out in really damaging, self-abusive ways like with addiction to chemicals, an eyebrow piercing seems like it shouldn't be a big deal unless it causes her problems with gainful employment, which I guess she'll confront when she graduates in a month or so. Congrats to you on raising a level headed kid, it's not easily done this day and age, I know.

8. At least when she's bored with it she can take it out of her brow

Whereas a Tattoo would be a lifetime.

9. oooops, delete...

DU told me that my last message wasn't processed.

[hedgehog]

10. My daughter and I are agreed,

neither of us dares to look up labarat!

[Roon]

11. LOL!

I could never pierce anything but my ears.

[SteppingRazor]

12. I had none at the beginning of college. By the end...

I had one in each lobe and one in the cartillage on the upper right ear. Today, eight years after graduating from college, I'm back to having none.

Point being, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[Karenca]

13. I had five piercings

2 as a teen -2 more in my twenties, and one more in my thirties.

I'm back to only two - My son also had piecings as a teen, and now in his twenties, he's back to zero.

I'de ignore it.
