My daughter is 13 and she has been begging me for snake bites, I approved of it because her friend has them and her mother is very protective so can you help me?

So you already approved it because your daughter's friend has them?

Help you with what?

DO you have any idea what snake bites actually are?

Here's a mild example:

Wy do I have a feeling that this is the 13 year old and NOT the mother, possibly the turn of phrase used ;)

No way I would let a 13 year old do this. I think most areas have a minimum age of 18 and I'm guessing that's for a good reason.

My OH had his lip pierced, the piercer put the needle in too high and he ended up having to remove it as due to its position it rubbed on his teeth and impaired him while eating. He now has a lovely scar on one side of his lip.

No way would I let a 13 year old get anything other than their ears pierced, and no I wouldn't just get it done if I were you, not if you value your relationship with your parents.

Sorry, I can not believe this is really a mother, no loving mother would allow this to be done to a young child.

And no mother does it because someone else's mother did it.

My daughter is 13 and she has been begging me for snake bites, I approved of it because her friend has them and her mother is very protective so can you help me??

Is this the father? Or is this the 13 year old?

Help you what? Mess up your daughter's face?

Oh my god , All the people Telling you that there going to mess up your daughters face , Just let her I'm 13 and I want one too . Is that so bad ? Who cares if I'm young , because I'm not THAT Young . -_-

Oh my god , All the people Telling you that there gonna mess up your daughters face , Just let her im 13 and i want one too . Is that so bad ? Who cares if im young , because im not THAT Young . -_-

Yeah you are.

Well I'm twelve (soon to be 13) I asked my mom if my friend could do mine she said no. Then asked her if she would take me and she said "We'll see". Because she wants to get them so if she gets them I do.

I say let your daughter get them because all she is really trying to do is express herself. That's what parents don't realize :)

How does poking holes in one's face express oneself? Please explain.

Or is it a case of doing like others (older kids, music stars) are doing?

So I'm 13, and I want a lip piercing too. My mother is aware of this. And se let me. But, this does not mean my mother does not care about me, she is just letting me be who I want to be. Parents, I understand this is completely horrible to you guys, especially cause we are 13, but when you were 13 didn't you want to do something your parents didn't let you do? Maybe be someone you were not allowed to be? I'm not insulting you guys or anything, I'm just telling you a way we 13 look at it and maybe just maybe you may not understand. Sometimes we want these things because we want to be who we are, or different. And sometimes we just want to look cool, or like our favorite rockstar. But honestly, I personally think getting a piercing on the lip is not horrible. And maybe you can buy your kid a fake one, to make sure they actually like it or something like that :)

I'm 13 now and I think that getting you daughter piercings at this age was not a good idea and even though I want them really bad 13 is way too young so you should have waited until she was at least 13.

All right mom 1st of all Don't let her do it until you see what it is! And definitely don't let her just because someone else let their kid!! I'm a kid and even I know that!
2nd these people saying your crazy? They are the crazy ones! If your daughter wants it done I would make her wait personally until she's at least 15 but let her do it now so when she's your age she doesn't have gauges, a back corset, and 1000s of scars from countless piercings! They're addicting they truly are.
3rd Make a negotiation for grades or something. My mom said if I got straight A's instead of Ds then I could get anything I wanted as long as I paid. I have all A's and a B and I'm supposed to jump into my Senior year from Sophomore next month.
4th she wouldn't be screwing up anything? I bet any money your kids got her ears done? Yeah no difference there, welcome to the 2000s. If she does get done you can always get a retainer for fancy events you don't want them to be visible for. As for scarring if its done correctly and doesn't get infected then they'll barely be noticeable.

Hi Myy Namee is Kathyy I Think 12 My daughter is 12 and she has been begging me for snake bites, I approved of it because her friend has them and her mother is very protective so can you help me?

Help you do what?

Yes, you should ! Kids love them

Yes that is all okkayy, cause I let my kid do the same !

Just let her get it, damn. I was 12 when I got my tongue pierced, 15 when I got my snake bites. I'm 18 now, and I have taken my snake bites out and I'm about to get my lip re-pierced. It doesn't leave a scar that is big enough for you to even notice. Stop being so uptight and let your child be a kid. Jeez. If you don't let her, and she really wants it she will rebel against you anyway.

I thknk you should let her I want one so bad and my mum is so strict so she's only being who she is so let her express her self (im13 by the way ) x

Any age as long as you have parental consent but when your 18 you can do it on your own:)

If her mate has it, then it's up to her, but don't let her just follow the crowd. I mean when I was 12 I got spider bites and when I turned 14 on my left side I got snake bites, and it wasn't because I follow the crowd it was because of the fashion I'm into and plus I'm an emo and most emo's like to have a lot of piercings but that's what make them then. So if your daughter really wants it then let her have fake ones at the start to see if she really likes it. You won't be ruining her face at all. I think lip piercings are very beautiful. And sometimes piercings can express you. But if your daughter only wants it done cause her mate does, then make her re-think it because when she has it done she might not even like it :L

I'm twelve soon to be 13 I say let her do it @katiestar I want mine done to I know you don't know me or anything and I don't in you bt look me up on Facebook @gabby twe bad williams bt I agree wit you let her do it and who are y'all to be saying someone else is too young pay attention to yourselves bt anyway if a mother loved their child so freak in much they will do anything to keep them close and HAPPY!

I'm twelve soon to be 13 I say let her do it @katiestar I want mine done to I know u dnt know me or anything nd I dnt in u bt look me up on facebook @gabby twe bad williams bt I agree wit u let her do it nd who are y'all to be saying someone else is too young pay attention to yourselves bt anyway if a mother loved their child so freak in much they will do anything to keep them close nd HAPPY!

What did you just say?

You can be 13 cause my mate got it done and I don't leave a scar its only like a little spot, but in your case two little ones, but personally I wouldn't do it if I was you because you won't like it after.

I don't think it's bad as long as it is professionally done and you are fully willing to take all responsibility IF anything happens.

Hello ma'm I'm a 14 yr old girl how really wants to get those piercings but I have read that if you doing take good care if the piercing that it may get infected and do you really want your daughters lip to get infected I really think you should consider waiting until she's at the right age like I will so you wouldn't have to worry and u'll now she'll take care of her self :)

I really enjoy all the people answering this question that was asked over a year ago. I'm sure the situation has already been resolved one way or another by now.

You I'm 11 and I have my minrow pierced... adalts don't understand that kids now days need to exspress themselves because if you don't they can't exspress them self so they'll go off and do something stupid ike drugs

ya im 11 and i have my minrow pierced ..... adalts dont understand that kids now days need to exspress them selves because if u dont they can't exspress them self so theyll go off and do some thing stupid ike drugs

Oh yes, we "adalts" don't understand that if we let the kids "exspress" themselves that will surely keep them from ever doing drugs! Awesome! Problem Solved! Thanks for chiming in!

Well I am 12 and I want mine and my mom said yes. My older sister has one and she said it feels like biting your lip. I say yes to let her get it because there's nothing wrong with having one

It would be better if you took her to get them done. You don't want her to get it done without your knowledge in a back alley somewhere by someone who is not a professional. Because let's face it.. kids are rebellious and if they want something bad enough they will get it.

I just can't believe how many people still answer this... it's 13 months old already. The OP was here once, hasn't come back... why are people still keeping this thing alive with posts?

I say to let her because piercings are a way to express yourself. Parents tell us to be ourselves and not who others want to see but piercings is how we express ourselves to show who we really are. Let her(:

Thanks for your input on this 15 month old question.

I'm 12 (turning 13 in 2 months) and I have wanted snake bites since I was 9 and my mom just told me that I couldn't get it done under her roof sooo I'm going to get it done by a professional (I was going to have my friend do it) so I won't be under HER roof I'll be under the tattoo parlors roof... THERE IS NOTHING FREAKIN WRONG WITH SNAKE-BITES!! Its just a way of expressing yourself.

And therein lies a perfect demonstration why pre-teens have no idea what they are talking about..

Nice! And a great example too.



sooo I'm going to get it done by a professional (I was going to have my friend do it) so I wont be under HER roof I'll be under the tattoo parlors roof.......

But really... a professional will do it for you? Where? Without parental consent, I'm sure you'll have a problem getting a professional to do it.
