Bard, Meghan. "Piercings Are Popular Among Teens." Body Piercing and Tattoos, edited by Sharon Bahadosingh, Greenhaven Press, 2007. At Issue.

Originally published as "Despite Parents' Concern, Body Piercings Stay Popular Among Teens," Sentinel and Enterprise, 28 Aug. 2005.
   Parents are now more accepting of their teenagers getting piercings and tattoos. Most teens want pieircings and will most likely get them even if they don’t have approval. They see older people on social media and become influenced but luckily Piercings are less permanent and can be taken out unlike tattoos. There was one life threatening incident when a 13 year old girl decided to pierce her own navel. Her mother didn’t take her to get proper care and she ended up being in the hospital for life threating infection. It is important to go to a professional piercer they have all the knowledge and will verbally teach you about the after care for home.

Every year on the 14th of February there are hearts, cupid, ballons and chocolate are thrown  everywhere you can't go anywhere without seeing red this and pink that. But have you ever thought of how all of this came about? what is the history? Some sources believe that the catholic church decided to christianize the actually pagan celebration of Lupercalia , a fertility festival dedicated to Fanus a roman god. Is this holiday as sweet and lovely as we really think? According to one source, ''members of the Luperci, a group of several roman priest',would come together at a sacred cave where Romulus and Remus the founders of Rome and would sacrifice a goat for fertility, and a dog for purification'' (History of valentines day) . I know you're probably thinking what the hell is this, but this is not it. Then they would skin the animals and dip them in their own sacrificial blood and whip women with it.
