do you think you will take out the majority of your piercings when you have kids?

    I probably wont because I want me kid to be able to see what their father is like, and that he wont have to think piercings are gay or anything. I never thought they were. If I ever do take them out, it will probably be because I have grown too old for them.

    Gauged earlobes coming on the way.

    I see plenty of parents with "a couple piercings" to "fell in a tackle box."
    I'd wonder how they handle little graspers, but hey, I kept my glasses and long hair somewhat safe with my grasping rug rat.

    what would one tell teh lil' boy who sees dad's PA?
    I know you can nurse with piercings, and I have seen people suggest filament until weaning.
    so plenty of parents are out there being who they are.

    I took out my clit ring when I found out I was pregnant. I had had i since I was 19... so 7 years. I felt that it was something left over from another part of my life, and there was a part of me that felt that responsible parents don't have holes punched in their lower anatomy.

    Hmmm,
    Interesting question. I'm not sure whether or not I still have piercing when I'm a parent, but the decision will not be based on the fact I have kids. More likely, I'll have either grown tired of them or I'll need to take the out for another reason,

    I'll definately still have my tattoos ;).

    i would probably keep my navel piercing in (when i get it done again), my lobes & cart piercings in but i think i would take my nipple ring out. i really love my nipple ring but i dont think i could keep it in while BF. i know some people do but i think the risk of infection would probably greater, having to keep taking & putting the ring back in. i would probably have it done again after though.

    hell no. i have determined, however, that children should be privy to as little of my so far ridiculous youth as is possible, and i will attempt to be as lame as possible, just so they have that healthy rebellion and dont turn into the kinds of people who become middle-class america because they were allowed to do everything. not gonna make it that easy...

    but they will get to see my half inch ear lobes and whatever else i havent outgrown by then.

    Definitely not, except my bellybutton ring if I end up having kids through birth (but then I'll get it done again once the kid's out!). If anything, I'll have more by then! I'd never change myself for my kids; it's a more important lesson to teach your kids to be who they are and grow up open-minded :)
