i'm 18 already so i can legally get any piercings or tattoos. I REALLY want to get my nose pierced and my cartilage on my ear pierced. there just a few problems..
I play a sport so its required for me to take the piercings out for at least 3 hours, 3 times a week. would that be a problem? if it was just for 3 hours 3 times a week?
I also heard someone mention those clear plastic earrings? how well do those work?
and my last problem, my father. He is not so fond of me getting piercings.. but i am legally 18 and can legally do what i want. I dont want to be this obedient little girl anymore. I want to do what I want. and that is to get 2 piercings. Yes he will most likely be mad. But he has to realize that i'm 18 and can legally do it. Its my decision. not his. i know he doesnt want me to, but i have been wanting this forever.
he is also my coach. which makes things 100000 times harder because i would have to hide it from him.
Additional info, added Tuesday February 8 2011, 7:37 pm: and I also dont have many months to "recover". like i dont have any breaks that i could do it. so i need to do it now.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? japm answered Wednesday February 9 2011, 7:42 am: I have my nose pierced, and you're supposed to leave it in for a year before you can take it out so it heals completely. Hiding it and taking it out for several hours a week won't be good, plus it'll also hurt and be hard to get back in. You may think that the nose piercing has opened up enough to not close, but you'd be surprised. Even after six months, the piercing is still healing. Unfortunately, if you have to take out piercings and hide it from your dad, it's probably not a good idea all in all. /: [ japm's advice column | Ask japm A Question ]
