I saw a teenage girl on the bus a couple of years ago who had little metal studs outlining around her entire lips. There must have been 25 or 30 studs all the way around her lips. When she "grows up" and tries to get a job, or when the fad changes and she doesn't want those there anymore, she'll be scarred for life. I just don't understand why anyone will do such extreme piercings. They don't think of the future. Fads come and go, but young people don't seeem to think about that. A few years ago, it was a trend to get one's teeth tattooed. I saw on TV, someone who had a little string of elephants tattooed onto their teeth. I only have my ears single-pierced for one set of earrings. Nothing more. No tattoos, nothing else. Melanie
