Although you may not have room to tell them that they can not have them, there is always the "because I said so" to fall back on. There is no reason to allow them to do something if you feel that it is a mistake at their age, just because you did it. Also I must comment on something you said, "I pierced her lip". Unless you are a Professional Piercer then you should not be doing that. Shame on you. Hi GregD58,

I understand and enjoy all of my tattoos and piercings, I have no room really to tell my kids they can't have them. But, I do ask them to consider everything carefully before doing anything. My daughter considered it, so, I pierced her lip for her a couple of weeks ago... If you work at Wendy's it isn't hard to get a job, if, however, you work elsewhere, like in an office environment, it does matter. I would love to think there will be a day when this isn't true.... but for now, it is absolute truth.... at least anywhere I have ever been.

If you work at Wendy’s it isn’t hard to get a job, if, however, you work elsewhere, like in an office environment, it does matter. I would love to think there will be a day when this isn’t true…. but for now, it is absolute truth…. at least anywhere I have ever been.
