first off..u have to be 16 to get ur belly button pierced and u have to have 4 forms of id. like ur birth certificate and drivers permit (cause u need a picture id and sumthin with ur birthday) and same for ur mother or father who has to be there to prove relation and age. im not sure exactly what you could say to them to convince them to let u get it done i just think you should kno what ive told u and that if they say no..dont do it urself. it could turn out horribly and u could end up in the emergency room..and it could come out crooked and stuff. also..if they say no, dont go to some place thatll do it without id because they are very unclean and u could get aids or some other disease. just take other ppls advice on how to convince ur parents to let you..and if it doesnt work then u can get it done when ur 18 cause then ur parents dont have to be there.

Well I'm your age and I also want a bellybutton ring, so I can sympethize. A lot of my friends have one too, but it doesn't mean that you have to have one just because your friends do. That's how a lot of bad things get started in our society - eating disorders, non-modest trends, etcetera. I'm sure that you're exaggerating when you say that your friend has the meanest parents in the world, though it may seem like it to you. But anyway - your problem. I think you shouldn't persist with the issue. Parents don't like it when you keep on pushing one specific thing - it kind of makes them annoyed with you. So, take a break from asking, and while you're on that break think to yourself. Is this really worth it? If it is to you, then you need to think of a good yet respectful proposal for your parents. I know they might seem like they suck to you, but if you attempt it in a respectful way then they might just hear you out.

Well that story sounds familiar. I'm having the same problem. The smartest thing to do though would be to show your mom that you are mature, so don't cry or yell at her for not letting you. Also, do use the excuse "Well all my friends have theirs done", she will just think that you only want it done because other people have theirs done. Well good luck!

itsakadoozie answered Thursday July 29 2004, 12:25 am:
You're only fifteen, maybe you should wait a year or two. Honestly you shouldn't get something done because all of your friends are doing it. I'm sure you still want it anyways though, right? Well, my suggestion is you research the piercing. Show your mom that it's completely safe. Ask if you could get it done for your sixteenth birthday. Maybe make a deal about it, you know the if I get these sort of grades or working around the house for the rest of the year, that sort of thing. That's probably the best way to do it. If she still says no, she probably has a problem with your young age and piercings. If that's the case, I suggest you wait until your eighteen. Even though it's hard to wait for something you want that badly, believe me, it'll be worth it. Remember patience is a virtue. Good luck sweetie!

Do research on it and show your mom. It always impresses parents when you are responsible and level headed about matters. Also show her how it's not scary since it's not permanent and not a big deal this day in age. Have her talk to your friends parents if u think that might help i don't really know how your mom thinks but if she is like my mom it might.

soljette answered Thursday July 29 2004, 12:00 am:
just because all of your friends have them doesnt mean that you have to get one as well. youre 15, who cares. wait til youre atleast 16 or so. maybe then your mom will change her mind and let you get it. it would be different if your dad said no and your mom said yes, but since its your mom, a female, whos saying no to it, then she probably has a reason for it

get a bunch of references! lol show her that so many people have them and they look really cute! I have mine and my mom wasnt crazy about it either... I went with my dad and when I showed her she said that it was fine, she just didnt wanna be there cuz she thinks it hurts. I didnt think it hurt that bad but whatever! Ask her what it is about belly button piercings that makes her not want it so much! if those ideas dont work try BRIBE! lol I know it sounds bad but sometimes it works. Tell her something like "how about you let me get my peircing and I'll clean the downstairs for a month!" ...or something like that! I have no idea if these will work with your mom... but theres no harm in trying right :D GOOD LUCK
plz rate me

It's good to know more about it before you get it. Most adults find piercing parts of the body other than the ears very strange and scary, - maybe your mother thinks of it as a symbol that you may be falling in with a bad crowd, for example.

Believe me, there is no reason to rush into getting a peircing. I don't really think it's a good idea to rush and get a hole poked in your stomache without you thinking about all of the risks involved. Try reading up on the subject more and decide for yourself what you should do, and don't just go ahead and try to get it on your own. Piercings can be fun, but you must really be willing to care for <u><b>exactly</b></u> as they tell you it in a serious way - or it will get infected and you will get very sick.

That said, by going to the webzine [Link](Mouse over link to see full location), you will find a TON of information on naval (bellybutton) piercings and FAQs about peircings in general. You could print this out, and more information you find about this peircing on there for your mother to read, and maybe when she sees that you have done your research on the topic she'll realize that it's not as bad as she thought - not to meantion, you'd learn something too. Most importantly, make sure you're getting this peircing because you want it, not just because your friends are all getting it. This is a HOLE that will be in your body for a long, long time - and you want to make sure it's something you really will want in a few years.

MelpomeneMuse answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 11:54 pm:
Ask your mom why she won't let you, but don't do it in a whiny way, ask in a responsible and serious way. If she thinks it's too dangerous, do some research and show it to her. If she thinks you aren't responsible enough, do something that will prove to her that you are responsible. If she thinks you aren't old enough, prove to her that you're responsible and can handle it, but if she still thinks you are too young, ask her how old you should be. You might have to wait until then.

Another note: If you just want it pierced because all of your friends have it, don't get it pierced. You have to really want it and understand the risks.
