How old?
I'm thirteen and I want my navel pierced. My Grandparents [who were really strict with my Mom and her sister], are even okay with it. Both of my parents say that I'm too young. But my Dad doesn't live with me, so my Mom can still say yes. I asked her why she wouldn't let me get it done and she said 1] that she thinks if I got that done I would want my nipples done or something crazy like that. 2] she thinks I would walk around with belly shirts or something. I told her I'm not a whore like that and that I wouldn't do either of those. And my question to you is do you think I'm too young? And what do you think I should do to convince my Mom?

Ok, I am not trying to offend you, but I do think your too young to get your belly button peirced. You know, the law is to wait until your 18, and then you can get it with out your parents consent. But, I think that belly button peircings are for teenagers that are you know, atleast 16 and older. I see where your mom is coming from with the crazy piercings and the belly shirts. She just doesn't want any one to get the wrong idea. A lot of parents these days are old fashioned and well basically they don't like any thing that's new in technology or new in the world... You know, just wait it out.. See what comes... Cause you never know, maybe if you keep begging it will work. But if you don't say any thing about it for a while, and then out of the blue you ask about it, maybe your mom will be like "I guess." Ya know.

I think belly piercings are pretty.
Try being extra-super responsible for a while and see if she softens up.
And yeah... 13 is a bit young. When I see a 13 year old with a pierced navel, the first word that comes to mind is "Whore." If you still want it, go for it, but be prepared for that reaction.

Uh.. well I think maybe you should until you start highschool and then ask her again.

yeah consider what your mom says it might be for the best because have you ever seen those shows where they show you how they pierce your body parts they will pull your skin of your stomach 6 inches and then pierce your navel
please rate!

well I don';t think you are too young...one of my best friends got it done when she was 11...just be responsible with it.

Well, I pierced mine when I was 12, lol so I cant really say anything. But I think you should wait, even the piercers say that, because if your 13 then your still growing, and if you get it done and grow more than it will stretch the piercing out and mess it up and it will look really bad.. so I think you should wait untill you are 15 or 16 to be safe, because mine got messed up and I had to redo it about a year ago [ when i was 15 ] anyways.
But if you ARE done growing or something - and you want to convince them. Just sit down and talk to them and say that you really want it done and your not going to go changing because of it - and it doesnt necessarily mean your going to go totally drastic and pierce your nipples, lol.

I think 15-17 is a good age. Personally i think you are a little young and your parents are right. Thats just my thoughts about it. I'm not really sure what you could do to convince them. You could make a deal with them and say you'll do it when you 15 or 16 instead, or something like that.

I think you are a bit too young, personally.
But as to convincing mom: Get a magnetic one. Use it, and show your mom you can handle it. Then she may change her mind.

Ya hunn i think you are still a bit young to be gettint your naval pierced... i think you should a wait a few years and if you really still want it then maybe your mom will feel better cus you will be older
]
well Im not sure but you caulda ct liek REALLLY mature (sp) and then maybe she will
]
I think you should wait a few years. If you aren't showing it off whats the point anyway? Im sure your mom would feel more comfortable about it if you waited until you were about 16.

I think you're too young. My doctor told me one time that if you get anything pierced other than your ears you have a chance of (while your body grows) ripping or tearing the part of your body that got pierced. If I were you, I would wait a few years. At least 15. I got mine done at 15, and I've been fine. If I had gone when I was 13 I wouldve had a problem because I went through a growth spurt between 12 and 14. I think you should wait just a little bit longer.

i personally don't think you're too young! my mom told me (back when i was 13) that i could get it done if i paid for it! maybe you could suggest that to your mom! just be like mom how about this you let me get my belly button pierced and i'll pay for it! hope i helped*

I think it might be kinda young, eventhough I do know some girls my age that have theres done already. But there are risks of getting it done such as if they put it in the wrong way you can die, because it could hit something in your stomach *idk what thou* And yeah, thats just to inform you. As far as your parents your dad is still your guardian and you arnt 18 yet so you still have to obey there rules. That is kool that your grandparents can trust you, but you gotta go with what your parents say. Sorry to tell you that, but its the truth I hope I helped a little ♥ Andie

you arenj't really too young and somthing u can do instead of convincing them take a walk on the wild side do it yourself or have a friend do it at home and when they see it there will be nothing they can do about it and hopefully they will jsut give up on it hope i helped

well as you no...most parents are strict with their children beacause they want them to turn out ok...but then when theyre grandparents they will go along with anything their grandchildren say. and it kinda seems like you could be doing the mommys girl thing. "i am mommys girl....when daddy says no i go to mommy". that kinda thing. i do think that the decision should be mutual between your parents. but i can most def relate to u. when i was 13 i wanted the same thing...but now that im older...i dont really like bellyrings. i feel like they were a trend and the trend was over when britney spears popularized it when she was 17. haha. like its up there with legwarmers almost. and i can agree with your mom...if she lets it slide this once...next time you want anything you may think she'll do that again. and why would you want it if your not gonna show it off? so yes...i do think you are too young to being making that kind of decision for yourself and also theres infections that go along with piercings and what not. so i would wait til your 16 or so and think it over. who knows...maybe you'll have changed ur mind by then and if not at least you have had time to grow and mature with the decision. and i highly recommend doing research before getting any piercing...tatoo...plastic surgery...anything like that. im sry if this seems like tough love...but its just my opinion honey!

i think your at the border line of being old enough or too young. as long as your mature enough i would prob let you. just wait till your done growning so that you dont get a weird stretched out hole
]
well thats tough because sumtimes parents won't budge but 1) your not to young 2) maybe say that you shoulget a fake one and then show her that you won't wear slutty clothes and that if u were to anything else pierced like you nipples that you couldnt breast feed and they would hurt all the time and also if they got infected you could lose them and i personally want mine where they are
i hoped this helped

Well I am 13 and my mom let me get mine but I backed out and said later because the crack head said he wasn't very good but he would try he's best and I said I wanted someone diff. any ways my parents don't live together either so I just said that if she wouldn't let me I would go to my dads get it done and come back. haha. anyways I also made a deal to do well in school and junk stay out of trouble the works you no. so I guess you could try that appraoch and if don't work I will personaly make sure you get one if you ask me another ? sayin you didn't get it that way for there are many ways of working parents into anything you want. GOOD LUCK

The problem with that is, that your mother has all final say. Frankly, I think 13 is the perfect age to get a naval piercing, but that's just me. You could try a few methods of persuasion, for instance, bargaining, instead of jumping to the defensive when she mentions that you would want your nipples pierced or that you're going to be wearing belly shirts all the time, tell her that you just won't. Promise her that if you get this piercing that the nipples will stay untouched, and that you'll only wear a belly shirt once in a great while. There are other tactics, but they're slightly more extreme, if this doesn't work come back and talk to me.

Hey ♥
Well, no; I personally don't think you're TOO young to get your navel pierced! A lot of my friends have their navels pierced & they got it done at a very young age, [like 11 or 12.]
Pretty much I think you should act very responsible towards your mother, and a lot of people are going to give you advice like I am, because it's just basically something you HAVE to do. If you earn the money to get it done yourself, and you offer to pay for it, then she'll know that you really want it, and you're serious about caring for it, and stuff. Help her a lot around the house, like cleaning & just pretty much baby her around for the next couple weeks or so. Do everything she tells you to do, and make sure you help her A LOT. She'll see from this that you ARE responsible & mature enough to handle getting it done.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to look some information up on the internet, about navel piercings, for example: taking care of the navel piercing, and looking up people to do the piercing for you! That'll take a lot of weight off of your mom's back, and it'll make it seem like you don't have to look to her for help or anything like that!
