What piercings are safe for a 13 year old?

Depends: Piercings are very popular as a form of self expression. If you choose to get one for your child make sure the person doing the procedure is using sterile technique. Also review your state laws to make sure you won't be in violation of child negligence laws by allowing this procedure on your child. Best just to stick to the ears at this age. http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/skin_stuff/body_piercing_safe.html#
