How do you convince your parents to let you get your belly button piercied?

Question

even when your 13 and have already ask a million times!!!

Answer 1

There is no one way to convince your parents to let you get you belly button pierced. Never try to pierce it yourself though. I wanted my belly button pierced when i was 13 and i tried to do it myself which got me in even more trouble. My parents finally let me get it done when i was 16. Most of th time your parents don't want you to get piercings and stuff because they want to make sure that is what you really want because once it is done there is no going back. So just give it time and your parents will eventually come around. But don't beg them too much because then they will get mad and won't ever change their mind.

Hope this helps and hope you get your belly button pierced!

Answer 2

just wait til your 16. yeah, it sucks to wait, i know. but its worth it and it'll make one h**l of a sweet 16 present =]

Answer 3

Just go to the piercing place your self and get it done,they cant see it.

Pay a hobo of the street to go in with there with you to get it done.

Problem solved.

Answer 4

ask on your birthday!

Answer 5

Just do it. Thus proving that you are old enough and responsible enough to make descisions for your self when it concerns your body.

They might get a bit cross but what can they do about it after it's done.

Answer 6

Prove to them you are adult enough by doing things like chores without whinging, homework, etc and then ask on your birthday again or a holiday and then point out all the adult things you have been doing like chores, homework, etc ect. If that doesn't work then you may just have to wait. Or get a friend to do it for you.  

Answer 7

yu shouldnt just do it.

yulll get in even more trouble!

yu should ask them on yur bday or christmas tell em thats the only thing yu want. [:

but id undersatnad on why they wouldnt want yu to have one.  

Answer 8

honestly just wait. i know it's not what you want to hear. but there's a reason your parents say no when you're thirteen...my parents made me wait til i was sixteen. it's a huge responsibility.

you have to clean it twice a day, every day, no exceptions. it's painful and can be potentially dangerous if you don't clean it properly and it gets infected. your parents are making you wait because they love you and care about you and want you to be safe.

plus think how good it will feel when you do finally get it pierced =]

Answer 9

Either get it yourself, and prove to your parents it isn't a big deal.

Tell them that the only thing you want for christmas.

Ask them if a tattoo would be better lmao ;]  

its just two whole on your belly no big deal even though my parents would never let me get one.  

Answer 10

Bring the subject up casually, at a family dinner. "Hey mom can you pass the peas? By the way, are those new earrings? Speaking of which, can I get a second hole in my ear?"

Be prepared to get a straight "No!"

Point out the fact that you are young now, and need the opportunity to try new things and find out who you really are. Tell them you love the look of them, its very fashionable and you want to try it out before you have to consider dress code for a career.

Get one of your parents to see your side of the story.

Use phrases like "I want to be myself." "I don't care what people think of me." "I'm growing up, this will make me feel more free" "I will never wear it when I'm in the house"

Use words like please (but don't use it more than 5 times), help, will, highlight, myself, me, I, free, decorate.

Make it seem as if getting a piercing is an art form. Don't actually use words like 'pierce' too much; use decorate, don't use 'earring', use ornament, don't use 'like', use 'love', as if it were (your favorite hobby here), instead of 'ear', use canvas.

Don't bring up friends (i.e. "Jane has piercings, why can't I?")

Avoid getting too angry at your parents. They will not change their mind if you yell at them.

Know your parents, their moods and respond accordingly.

Tips

Remember that when you turn 18 (16 in the UK) they can't control how many piercings you get, so don't get too worked up if they say no and mean NO

If you hear no, don't talk back, but maybe drop a phrase like "I'm sorry you don't feel as I do"

Be willing to talk and compromise. If your parents say no, discuss with them why they aren't comfortable with it, and try to find some middle ground (for example a second hole in each ear instead of a nose ring). If you're mature about it and show that you're willing to consider their concerns, they may be more open to discussion.

Ask politely

One on one meetings are good, although if that's not an option, a car ride, or during breakfast (makes them think it through the rest of the day) is a good time.

Bribe your parents (i.e. with grades), especially if you're already a good kid.

Sometimes parents aren't so relaxed about piercings because in their day, it was a thing that "bad kids" had. Do everything in your right to let them know that times have changed
