15yr old Daughter wants tongue piercing

[raynoid]

My 15yr old daughter seems dead set on getting her tongue pierced. Seems her mates are doing it first. What we want to know is whether it is still within our legal rights as parents to prevent this, or whether she can legally do what she likes in this area? (BTW, just fact-finding at the moment, not judging or definitely planning to try to block it!)
