Last year, my mom said I could get my tragus pierced which was AMAZING I can't believe she let me do that what an awesome mother right?! LOL so anyways, it turns out I wasn't old enough to get it done so I had to wait till my next birthday, which is coming up in a month. And in that year of waiting i kind of changed my mind a little. I would absolutely love a nose piercing. for a couple of reasons 1. (not to sound like a narcissistic ego maniac) I have good bone structure in my face so a nose piercing would look good. 2. I've actually, no joke, had people say to me "you should get a nose piercing it would look so cute" and 3. You know in the Sex and the City movie where Carrie dyes her hair brown after Big leaves her at the wedding (sorry if i ruined it for anyone) because she wants to change and like not be herself anymore.. that's kinda what I want. I recently have been through a bad break up and it would just be awesome to get my nose pierced and I don't know why it would just make me feel better.
So anyways, what my question is I don't know how to confront my mom about the nose piercing.. I mean it's like a miracle that she let me get my tragus pierced I'm so thankful. I don't want to ruin it!
Please help! thanks a bunch
Tell her that you love the tragus piercing, but you're looking for an image improvement, and the nose piercing would do it.
Tell her that others have said it.
She will probably understand. She might hate facial piercings though...
Also, you can tell her that a nose piercing is easier to heal and to hide.
Tragus piercings tend to get infected if you use earphones a lot and such.
Also tell her that you asked for your boyfriend / best friend whether they thought that a tragus piercing looked good, and they said no. So you don't want to walk around with a piercing if people don't think it looks good on you.
:)
When you talk to her, be calm and relaxed. For fuck's sake, do not yell, get bitchy or stomp off. That will show her how immature you are.
If she says no, ask her to list reasons why, without being mad.
Like I wanted a industrial piercing at first, but I changed my mind and wanted a nose piercing(retired now)
I told my mom that the industrial would be v. dangerous for sports, and it takes long to heal. For the nose I could put in a small stud, and it'd be easy to hide.
It took her a while to consider it, but it worked.
Ask if you need any more reasons why you should be able to get a nose :)
Good luck!
(Rating: 5) Yeah yeah i will definitely not get bitchy i hate that! haha yeahh I can totally tell her that nose heals faster and tragus has a better chance of getting infected (okay so i made that one up but she won't know) thank you so much awesome advice!
