When my daughter was a teenager, she had one piercing in each ear. Once she became an adult (21, that is), she decided she wanted a nose ring. She is now 27 and still wears it. Do I like it? No. Personally I wish she would take it out, but that is not my decision to make and I will not tell her that. It is her body, she is a smart, responsible, college-educated adult & what I like or do not like makes no difference. I feel it is harmless and even if she decides to keep that nose ring for the rest of her life, it's her decision to make.

Mr. Silver, I agree with Mimi that you should pick your battles. There are far worse things she could be doing.
