I personally don't like them, or really any non-ear lobe piercing. Or tatoos.

that's cool, any idea why?

myself, i have a few tattoos but i don't wear my earrings (3 holes in left ear, 2 in right) anymore. Mainly out of laziness, took them out for some dental xray things and never put them back in

Oh, and for the OP, I'd let her do whatever the hell she wants. you can say you don't like the idea, but wouldn't you be in more sh!t if you didn't let her do what she wanted? besides, if she gets the piercings and later changes her mind and regrets it, you can always hang the old "i told you so!" over her head.

I'll second that. Don't get me wrong I've been with 3 different girls that have had tounge rings, but I'm in my early 20's and so are they, at 35 being a manager and a mother of 4 seems like a midlife thing to do more than anything else.

Sorry to jump on your thread:

My wife works in retail and works with this married lady with 4 kids, she's in her mid 30's and manages the store.

She trades sex for sales and some of the customers (tricks?) mentioned for her to get a tongue ring and some piercings to 'spice' it up...this has been pretty lucrative for her, she leads company sales by 500%

My wife is conservative so didn't know how to answer this....what do you guys think?
wtf? what kind of retail?

The sad part of this is it's a highly likely outcome or one she is considering..🙁

Major changes in appearance are in the top 10 of potential affair possibilities.

You said you have tattoos though...so if you are hanging regularly with people bearing tats and more than likely piercings then your lady may be just trying to fit in.

I agree with your philosophy of letting her do what she wants....that's what I do, the people who don't get it are usually not in marriages or in abusive ones.

If one does not like what their spouse does you first talk to them about it and try for a compromise or an end of the activity. If that does not work you have to suck it up or move on. End of story.

Are you gay?
With an attitude like that, he's never going to have a girl so he might as well be gay.

Well... it's her body, you might be able to give an opinion, but you really don't make the decision.

If it weren't for the fact that she alreads has piercings and tats, I'd think she was just yanking your chain. I do that to my husband once in awhile just to see the reaction. Like "I think I should get breast implants." He just looks at me with wide eyes (I'm already a D.)
Pics!!
 
nipple rings are pretty cool!!!!

the tongue thing is cool too i guess, but they're too common for me.. i just think they are stupid now.

Most of them don't know how to use the manufacturer's installed equipment before getting the modifications, either.

Damn... beat me to it.
 
I wouldn't stop my wife from it (she is a free person). But it would shock me if she wanted them, to say the least. I don't like body piercings any more than I like tats, but to each their own.
