Maybe O/T for this board (apologies if so), but from now on, apparently, you can't have your willy drilled in Wales until you're 18. It'll be a bitter disappointment for many, I know, but that's the nanny state for you. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-42872192. And if you want to string a banner across the rings in your nipples, that's out of order as well.
Back in the seventies, when I was teaching in Brum, we had to ban pierced earrings for boys because it wasn't safe to send them out onto a football pitch. (Yes, we did have some ripped appendages to deal with, and very bloody they were.) I can't imagine how they're coping these days.

Re: Piercings and stuff
Possibly more a Polite Discussion topic , but I think all piercings should be banned for those below 13
I hate seeing small children (even babies) with pierced ears- should wait until they are old enough to give 'informed consent'

Yes, I made that (unpopular) point on the old TMF...
My personal opinion is any unnecessary surgical modification should wait until informed consent is possible, regardless of social and religious 'norms'/expectations

Not really. I don't think they shove cheap rings through it and let it wave about in the air while playing rugby, do they?Somebody's got to say it. They do worse than that to small boys.
But of course, I didn't go to Eton, so who knows.
