Do you think teenagers should be allowed to have piercings showing at school?

At the high school I go to you can get in trouble for having any kind of facial piercing because supposedly it is distracting. However, kids who come to school with colored hair (pink, purple, green, blue, etc.) don't get into any kind of trouble. Do you think this is fair? Do you think that kids that come to school with piercings should be asked to remove them? Or do you think that kids should be allowed to wear them? As a teenager with a nose piercing I think I should be allowed to wear my nose ring to school. There are kids at my school who are covered from head to toe in tattoos and I feel that that is much more distracting than my tiny stud. But besides that, I don't feel like it's their place to tell me what I can and cannot do to my body. At my age, my parents should be the only ones with that power and they are okay with it. Please post all opinions I want to know what everyone thinks.
