My dd has played with both a pierced nose and belly button for years. ?She wears a clear nose stud, which only a few have noticed she had in, and she wears a clear, flexible belly ring. ?Neither has affected her play, no injuries because of wearing them. ?I would never recommend wearing metal nose studs or belly rings during a game. ?She also has a tattoo on the top of her foot, and like Hermom's daughter, she is an honor student, going to college this year.
