initial pain and healing time aside, I would go tongue - you can show it off when you want to, but it's not a problem if you need to hide it for any reason (like work) because you can put a clear bar in and voila!  Also, if you are not 100% sure, at least if you change your mind then you won't have a little scar leftover where everyone can see :P\nI have never heard of any higher incidence of cancer in people with certain piercings.  Remember, it is not an open wound, the skin completely heals so the smoke wouldn't be getting into your bloodstream at all from the actual piercing...

tell her that your seventeen now and your capable of making your own decisions. she should understand soon enough. the reason why she dosent want you to do it is because no parent wants their child getting their belly button pierced. you shouldn't do it behind her back though...tell her why you want your belly pierced, the pros and cons and stuff. good luck!

I guess it would depend on what state you live in.  I know in Illinois  there is no way your getting married under the age of 18 w/o parents consent.

i think it depends on what age group you are umpiring......in illinois u only have to be 12. Also, you have to have some skill....My friend was 1 and she said she had to take a test and she was only 13 years old.\n\nGood luck!

Like any piercing, it can be dangerous if the place you get it done at is not sterile. Some complications besides infection from an insterile needle include: \n\n1. Chipped or Broken Front Teeth \nThe majority of patients we see with tongue barbells wind up with chips, cracks or fractures in their front teeth. These have to be repaired with fillings or crowns.\n\n\n2. Gum Surgery \n\nWe've had to refer patients to periodontists for surgical correction of damage caused by rubbing tongue barbells.\n\n3. It can go down the wrong way. \nThe barbell can come un-screwed and wind up in a lung.\n\n\nApparently there are cases of people DYING (http://www.drhendry.ca/InfoAndLinks/TonguePiercing/Piercing.html) <---shows some pretty gross pictures, beware. \n\nAnyways, I would imagine most of these are extreme cases. In my opinion, it isn't really worth the risk! Your heath is most important!

You must be 21 in most cases.  In some cases you can be 18 or 19 if they dont serve drinks.

i did all my piercings myself...2 labrets and my tongue. and my  daughter's lip piercings...i'm not suggesting ppl do this themselves!! i did a lot of research on where to pierce according to nerve areas, etc....none of ours got infected. piercings are tender as they heal. small bumps are a sign of scar tissue forming, which is building a "base" to keep the barbell from pushing it's way out of the body (rejection of the foreign body) it sounds like you could be slightly allergic to the metal...sterling silver rarely rejects because it has natural anti-biotic properties. titanium is good too. my advice is to wash it with antibacterial soap 2-3 times a day. and use a triple antibiotic ointment. you can even use the solution they give you for ear piercings. you have to move the barbell up and down, and twist it while washing it, to make sure the entire area is getting cleansed. it's not uncommon to have a "crust" form around it...soft tissue piercings are going to be tender, and take up to a year to fully develop scar tissue and heal. try to keep clothing from pressing or rubbing against it, and allow air to get to it so that it stays as dry as possible. if the piercing site swells to double it's size, gets very red and hot, is draining a lot of pus, and you run a fever, you have an infection and need to go to the doctor for oral antibiotics. good luck with this.
