Piercings and stuff

Maybe O/T for this board (apologies if so), but from now on, apparently, you can't have your willy drilled in Wales until you're 18. It'll be a bitter disappointment for many, I know, but that's the nanny state for you. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-42872192. And if you want to string a banner across the rings in your nipples, that's out of order as well.

Back in the seventies, when I was teaching in Brum, we had to ban pierced earrings for boys because it wasn't safe to send them out onto a football pitch. (Yes, we did have some ripped appendages to deal with, and very bloody they were.) I can't imagine how they're coping these days. :lol:

Possibly more a Polite Discussion topic , but I think all piercings should be banned for those below 13
I hate seeing small children (even babies) with pierced ears- should wait until they are old enough to give 'informed consent'

Somebody's got to say it. They do worse than that to small boys. ;)

Yes, I made that (unpopular) point on the old TMF...
My personal opinion is any unnecessary surgical modification should wait until informed consent is possible, regardless of social and religious 'norms'/expectations

Couldn't agree more.

Not really. I don't think they shove cheap rings through it and let it wave about in the air while playing rugby, do they? :-)

But of course, I didn't go to Eton, so who knows.
