This is true. That's the beauty of a piercing. You can take them out. Just make sure you check out the place he's getting it done. Make sure they have an autoclave for serility, etc. and he will be fine.
As for the tattoo, I think it's a good idea that he wait at least a year. A tattoo shouldn't be done on impulse. Let him think in it for a while. If he still wants it after a year of thinking on it I'd say he's committed to getting one. Besides, in a year he will be 18 and can get one anyway.
Being flexible on the piercing while taking a wait and see approach to the piercing should let him see that you are willing to compromise.
Hell, when I was that age, my Mom forbid me from getting an ear piercing. I went and did it anyway. She didn't speak to me for a week. I've since had four piercings in my ears. I've long since taken them out.
I still haven't committed to a tattoo but will probably get one at some point.
