i got my nipples pierced at 20 and good lord if i had got them done any younger i'd probably have lost both of my boobs to a horrible flesh-eating infection. i am barely careful enough for them now, and it has been ~4 years.

i knew a girl who got her clit pierced at 14, and the most fun she had with it was showing it off to her friends ON THE SCHOOL BUS. what. the. hell.

From what I understand, most professional piercing parlors in the US won't do anything without parental permission if you're under 18. Hell, just to get my cartilage done a few years ago, I had to flash some ID.

I would feel a little bit weird if teens were running up to their parents all "Mom! Dad! Can I pierce my nipples? Okay, can I have a ride to the piercer? And also can you sign this form?" Just...eeegh.

I got a tongue and belly button piercing when I was 20 (in Australia), but they are gone now. But at the time it was a huge deal to get piercings, and anyone under 18 could have it done provided you had parental permission. Also there was the usual scaremongering via newspapers and current affairs shows about the dangers of them but as usual those crazy kids just ignored them and now have terrible chipped teeth!

As an American, topless sunbathing abroad feels AWESOME. I was so timid at first and then realized that everyone was doing it. But... that didn't stop the creepy Italian men from staring. I just kind of got over it and then the next woman would take her top off and I would be old news.

I'd think it was basic law to not allow piercings until 18, though I guess I'm just applying our laws. Also, I think anyone should be able to be topless at the beach. Who the hell cares. It's just a HUMAN BODY.

I really don't want to see anyone topless, male or female, unless I'm at the pool or the beach. Can we please ban men from running about topless as well? And then have a free for all at the beach?

@missbitchy: I honestly don't mind a bit if an adult wants to get "NSFW" piercings (I love that term, btw) and I think some of them can be really cool.

I'm with you: I think folks need to be old enough to know how to enjoy and/or utilize their bits before they can really make the decision to go ramming bits of decorative metal through them, y'know?

@missbitchy: Agreed. Nothing wrong with waiting until you're 18 for certain things. Although my mom did sign for me to get a tattoo for my 16th birthday, and let me get a nosering a year later. She would NEVER have gone for a genital piercing, though (not that I wanted one).

We alwaty have -in Victoria anyway. Was walking the beach in Phuket and happened upon a woman sunbating topless. I turned around and headed back - I'd never encountered it before.

Thing is, Fred Nile is claiming he's doin' it for the Muslim and Asian communities. Yeah, right. The man once proposed a moratorium on Muslim immigration FFS!
