I want my tounge pierced so bad, and i have for a while. My dad thinks its trashy and my mom goes along with what my dad says. What can I say to make him understand ill take good care of it and to let me get it done. I mean he fought with me about my belly button but i take extremley good care of it.
AskCary answered Monday March 6 2006, 9:51 pm: I think your dad already believes that you would take good care of it since you take care of your belly button. So, his decision probably has nothing to do with hygiene and everything to do with his belief that is is trashy. Apparently, he caved on the belly button even though he thinks it is trashy, so the question is, why did he allow you to get the belly button ring? Did he just get tired of hearing you talk about it and gave in? I personally think that you should abide by your parents rules, and it sounds like you do since you're seeking their permission rather than defying them. BUT, to answer your question as to how to convince them to agree, I suggest you use whatever tactics worked in the past with your belly button. Don't try to convince them that it's not trashy, that's a battle you will never win. [ AskCary's advice column | Ask AskCary A Question ]

But anyways some points I made across to my parents was that it's only a peircing, in later years if I don't want it.. I can take it out. It's not permenant like a tattoo. Another point I made was that it's in my mouth, no ones going to see it unless I show em. Plus it's your reputation, if you want to look "trashy" then you should be able to look trashy. There's worse things that you could do, and they should be thankful you haven't and aren't going to do them. Your dad probably doesn't want you to get it done cause he's afraid you might use it for "sexual" reason LMFAO. I know my Dad was thinking that, but just keep pushing on and show them your responsible and you know what they want and maybe you'll be able to get it done. Good luck ♥ [ Britchellex3's advice column | Ask Britchellex3 A Question ]
