Unexpected Selection

I promise, I'm not going to make this blog about piercings, but today I went shopping for new navel jewelry since I only had the starter from the original piercing. I was stunned at some of the selections I found, which included:

The Little Mermaid
Nemo
Fred Flintstone
Mickey Mouse
Tweety Bird
Bart Simpson

As I stated in my previous post, I'm aware that the demographic for those getting navel piercings is getting younger and younger, but it certainly hasn't gone pre-teen, has it??

I'm going to assume that those buying the cartoon jewelry are adults who are just big fans of the characters, and not kids.

I bought a beautiful, dangling flower piece (which my older daughter helped pick out, so she's coming around), and a fun Coca-Cola bar, the latter for reasons I will save for another post.

My daughter is almost a teen and won't even consider getting her ears pierced! It isn't that she doesn't want to wear earrings ... she's just afraid it'll hurt too much. I keep waiting for her to outgrow the fear, but it's not happening anytime soon.
