How do I convince my mom to get my nose pierced?

Question

Okay well, my mom is thinking about getting my nose pierced. I just need to hear some details about getting your nose pierced, good details. I am 14, and some people in my class has it. Please don't say you shouldn't get it, your too young..that's not an answer to my question.

I WILL PICK BEST ANSWER!

Answer 1

well, i have my nose pierced and it was fine. As long as you go to a good piercer, it should be fine. Pain tollerance differes for everyone , so i can't state what pain you  may or may not feel. However, if cleaned and looked after properly, nose piercings are good healers - they heal easily within 3 months max.

It might not be what you want to hear, but i would actually think hard about this one first. I'm 16 , and have had it pierced twice . First when i was 14 , for which i had to remove it anyway . I had it re-done , but i have had to face up to the realisation that it's harder for me to find employment because some employers do not like piercings - even if a retainer is used.

Answer 2

Tell her it's what all the goths are doing these days.

If that doesn't work, show her how good the nose ring looks on Amy Winehouse - that'll convince her.

Answer 3

Your best chance at convincing her that you are indeed old enough for such body art would be to show her that you have thought this venture through. Tell her how you will care for it to prevent it from being infected, and make smart choices on what jewelery you will use (as someone who has body piercings, I encourage you to avoid nose rings or curved bells, as those can cause problems as well as look vulgar. Small tasteful studs are best).

If she refuses you, you will simply have to accept her decision for now. You may be old enough in your head to get this piercing, but unfortunately, according to the law you are still a minor.  

Answer 4

Why would you be too young? Nothing wrong with piercings. Had my eyebrow and lip pierced. Tell her you won't go over board with all kinds of piercings, at least until you're old enough to do it on your own ;). Tell her you'll take care of it and keep it clean. Just re-assure her.

Answer 5

i hate to sound down, but i dont think you can really "convince" her.  my mom is weird and when i asked if i could get my tongue pierced, she said yes, right off.  but i think you should really look it up, call some places, look online, find out all you can find.  but if she wont be convinced, you will just have to wait for four more years.  

and no, i didnt get my tongue pierced, i looked it up and after a few months of studying, i decided it wasnt worth the risk.

Answer 6

im 15 and want my nose pierced also. i made a deal with my mom that if i get atleast a 3.0 gpa first semester then i can get my nose pierced

Answer 7

The fact that you are looking for details on nose piercings is very responsible of you.    Is there a parlor where they take minors with parents attending?  In my surrounding towns, there is not one that will take children under 18 even with a parent.  

Follow the piercers instructions...cleaning and care.  Pick small studs first as so you can adjust yourself to it.  Some of them look like pimples on people so be sure that you stay small.  

I hoped this help a bit.

Answer 8

Until you turn 18 in most states...your mom can prevent you from getting it done-anyone doing it to you can be charged with assault on a minor!

If you were my kid, I'd be telling you that until you can write a correct paragraph with proper english and grammar-which means paying attention in school...you wouldn't be getting ANYTHING pierced!

I did ear, nose and belly piercing for 20+ years...there is nothing GOOD about getting it done-it has nothing to do with culture, society, health...it can easiy get infected, disfigure or scar your nose (and face if the infection spreads). Pain can be real bad if the piercer hits a nerve that's

in there...or it won't hurt at all. You never know-it's different with everyone. Then there's the pain the first couple nights when you strip your shirt off over your head...and hook tha stud and tear it right out.

That's a good one the neighborhood will hear...

Answer 9

well i dont see the problem with getting it done. its just a nose ring and you can always take it out. im 17 and i have both my ear lobes pierced and stretched my eyebrow done and i just got my right industrial done. its not that big of a deal if you dont like it you could always take it out.

it wont hurt that bad it wont cost that much either. just make sure you find a good clean tattoo/piercing shop. and make sure you clean it at least twice a day. ask your piercer what you should clean it with.

any more questions just email me. id be glad to answer.

good luck =]

Answer 10

just get it done, and take it out when your with her!, i no there might be like a time when you can't take it out, wear a really plain stud, cover it in faoundation, and say it's  spot

easy!

Answer 11

first of all you aren't too young, but still it looks entirely stupid and you'd look like emo or goth or something.

Answer 12

reassure her that you will take good care of it and that you will choose small and tasteful jewelry. tell her you've thought long and hard about it and this isn't something you're doing on a whim or because of some fad.

Answer 13

You better be as sweet as possible, and I mean for a LONG time. At least 6 months...

Answer 14

Cry, that always worked in the past.
