Tell them that if anything bad happens as a result of it, it can be taken out + the hole will close up and everything. If they still say no, respect their decision and stop bothering them about it, maybe they'll let you get it done when you're older. [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]

try getting ur ears pierced (if u dont already have it done... or wanna get it done again) and show them that u know how to take care of it and keep it clean..
or even make a deal with them... like if u get your ears pierced... ask them ... " if i can keep my ears from getting infected until its time to change my earings... will u consider letting me get my belly button pierced?"
dancergall answered Wednesday July 21 2004, 5:23 pm: DO NOT DO IT!!! and u wont be able to change their minds they have your best intentions in mind and you are only 14...maybe you should wait a year or two until they say yes or you move out...if you do it you will most deff be grounded and that isnt worth it just to look cool...you should try and show that you are responsible and can take care of things before you get it done [ dancergall's advice column | Ask dancergall A Question ]
Rockwell888 answered Wednesday July 21 2004, 5:22 pm: Firstly, try to convince your parents by saying that you are old enough, and if they still say no, respect their decision. You might also wanna check out some of the effects, because having a belly button piercing might seem cool, but you can easily get an infection.
