person A: My almost 16 year old daughter wants to get her ear cartilage pierced.
person B: Oh_comma_ how do you feel about that?
person A: I'm not so sure_comma_ it has to be done at a tattoo shop and we didn't have such a great experience when she was little and had her ears pierced.  I'm thinking it's more of a "follow the crowd" kinda thing than her truly wanting it.
person B: Are you going to allow it then?
