3 year old, prince albert

[ChiefaRoo]

Guys,

My three year old wants to get a prince albert. Should I let him?

I'm talking more about the kids that go all out, full on tribal with ear plugs or plates. Still, if you leave gauges in long enough, I imagine they won't shrink back. My mom has always worn heavy ear rings, and just from that, her earlobes are pretty stretched over time.

Gauged ears will closed up within a few weeks, unless you go ridiculously large (up to about 2 gauge close up with no problems, higher than that is subject to the individual's skin elasticity and stuff)

If you have them scalpeled (a slit instead of a streched hole) then they close up within a few hours and are pretty much unnoticeable

I believe most if they let them to shrink will be almost unnoticeable.. My friend Brandon had some about the size of a beer bottle cap in his ear for a couple years.. He quit wearing earrings all together and two years later it was just a small hole...The only problem now is 85% of his body is covered in tattoo's, those will not go away as easily...

I've got tattoos all over both arms, and would never get rid of them. The secret (somewhat ironically) is to get a white collar job where you can wear long sleeves all the time.

If he's man enough to put it in by himself with a hog nose ringer....more power to him.

We used to use those in auto upholstery repair. I cringed a bit when I learned what they were really meant for.

I've put hundreds of those in the noses of hogs when I was younger. You have one guy put a cable loop on a pole over the snout, cinch it up and hold.

They really, really squeal when you put in the humane ring....

I'm guessing I could easily do this install if someone is willing to pay me a hundo, and someone will put the cable around their balls so they'll hold still.

I'm wagering a dude would squeal just about as loud.

I'd make him do chores to pay off the piercing.

Well the last time I saw him he had a big ass demon across the front of his neck... He is training in Texas as a tattoo artist, but I am more talking about what these tattoos will look like in 30-40years...
