Think about it, here is something else to think about is what kind of profession are you going after. Some tattoo's or piercings will prevent you from going in to some jobs.
piercings aren't permanent^ And most places *she would be applying* are used to at least one piercing on they're employees.
if you want to take the chance of dying i'll help you out finding a way.. but body modification shouldn't be something you risk your life over
I got a tattoo when I was 17 and hid it from my parents..... lets just say I wasn't ready to pick something permanent for my body yet and have since had that crap covered up. If you are unsure of the tattoo, DONT DO IT. Wait until you KNOW! =)
