I agree with the others, try your best to not make a huge deal out of it. My response when my 18 year old stepson got his tongue pierced was to call him by his full name & ask him WHAT THE HELL HAD HE DONE? He also swore to me that it didn't hurt. Yeah right!!! When I bite my tongue I whine like a baby. I digress. Most importantly, I want to share his fathers reaction. My husband was not happy & told him that the tongue ring did not make him happy, but he had better not get a tatoo. Well of course he had gotten a tattoo right above his ankle that he kept hidden from us for two years!!!! He kept it covered with bluejeans, socks etc. Our youngest son, who is eight years younger let the cat out of the bag. I felt like such a dumbass, but he was very good at keeping it hidden. I thought he just had a foot being covered thing. . He was scared of his Dad finding out, because of what he had said. His Dad wouldn't have done anything, he was just all bluster. I guess what I am trying to say, if you keep it somewhat calm, he probably won't go doing a bunch of weird things. My son, the younger one (18), so far hasn't gotten anything pierced or tattooed, he had wanted to & we told him when he turned 18 & was making his own money then go for it (we didn't really mean it), so far he hasn't. He has learned from his big brother. Hang tough, it will be ok.
