Thank you, Heidi! Something for all you kids to think about... especially those who said they wanted tongue piercings and the like.

Do not pierce or tattoo anything that you aren't prepared to live with for the rest of your life. Hands down, stupidest thing you could do.

Moreover, don't pierce something because it's cool, or because your friend has it, etc. (such as belly button piercings, which are the latest trend). It's not worth it.

If you get something, get it because you like it - because it represents you, because you believe in it, etc. Don't get it because it's cool. Heidi (and Dave, too) cannot speak more of the truth.
