Willow Smith gets tongue piercing

Some preteen girls can only dream of getting piercings, but not 11-year-old Willow Smith. Her dream became a reality when she recently got her tongue pierced. The daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith showed off her silver stud in an Instagram picture posted this past weekend, in which she’s posing with a friend. The other girl in the photo posted a similar Instagram photo, with the hashtags “#fake #dontjudge #justhavingfun.” What do Willow’s parents have to say about her new fashion statement? “When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world,” said Will to Parade magazine. “She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.” ~Graeme Mollison
