i get wat your sayin cause i wanted my chin or wateva you wanna call it pierced but i myself think you should try 2 talk her into let'n you get it when your n 10th or 11th grade. Im 15 now n im bout to get my first pirecing thats not im my ears. you may say yea everybody els has it but u still have to think of the effects it could have. other people belly rings may not get effected but yours can be different. my cousin got hers done but she went into shock n got put in the hospital! im not tryin to scare you or nothing cause i dought this will happen to you i just think you should do ALOT of research on it and u should kno your body so you can see what you can or cant take. Its also good to ask alot of people to truthfully tell you how it is.

Ask her why she won't let you, and then explain to her why she doesn't have to worry about the things that she said.
Make sure you know what you're talking about. Read about it on sites like this one:

You can find many more on Google.
If all else fails, wear a fake one. There might not be as much choice, but these don't have the risk of infection, and you can buy it for yourself fairly cheaply. (If you do get a piercing, it should be done by a professional, and a professional will not do it for someone under 18 without their parent's permission.)

Not to knock your idea, but I don't find anything cute or classy about belly button rings. I think that a plain belly is sexy on it's own. So make sure you seriously think about it. Luckily, it's not like a tattoo and can eventually close up.
If you've already thought about it, then doing what someone already advised (the whole researching it first and showing your parents that you've put forth effort into the idea) would be your best bet in my opinion.

im 15(16 in 3 days) & i want mine done too. my mom won't let me either. she thinks its provocative. & i cant seem to convince her that it would be different for me.
maybe your mom is different. so maybe you should just show her that you aren't 'provocative' & that you are mature enough to have a belly button ring without being 'trashy' or 'slutty' about it.
im not sure why your mom wont let you, but those are the main reasons my mom wont let me, so i tried to relate ours.
im sorry if i wasn't much of a help, but i tried anyways =/

Everyone wants something very badly and their parents say no. First of all, don't be selfish.
If you have your ears peirced, then keep your ears clean and healthy.
Good grades is a good way and help around the house...good children=good rewards!
Try to tell your mom that you are responsible if it gets infected. Maybe you pay for the peircing or half of it. 13 is a bit young, so ask if you can get it when your 15 for your birthday...if all fails, just live with it because it aint end of the world! yet...

You wont be able to.
Why?
First reason, is that your parents are not comfortable with the idea of you getting pierced. Piercings serve two purposes. One, is so that you can identify with certain people. Two is that piercings are considered attractive by some, and getting them makes you more attractive.
Now, take a look at your mother's perspective. There are things you can do to be part of the crowd (we can tell thats a motivation from comments like "a ton of people have them") that dont include having holes poked in you. And at 13, shes definately not comfy with the fact that you want to get piercings because shes not comfy with the thought of you doing something that will make you more attractive to guys.
You may have read questions about why parents wont let them wear thongs? Same thing, parents dont want to see their children as attracting sexual attention. They dont want to consider the possiblity of guys looking at you and wanting to sleep with you, youre still their little girl to them.
My reccomendation, is to wait. Why? Because you can always get piercings later. I realize you are impatient. I realize that you feel left out because you want a piercing, and your parents dont want you to have one, while many of your friends have been allowed. Yeah, it can suck to not get what you want. But respecting their wishes while you are living in their house is a sign of maturity. Not many people have that, I certainly didnt when I was your age, but its not a bad thing by any means.

You should wait in a few years though.
Because your 13 and theres a chance you would still be growing. A piercing right there, might get in the way of growing and hurt.
You could tell your mom you would take care of it and that's all you want for your birthday, etc. Something. Just ask her what you have to do, to prove her that you're responible or something. But wait til 10th grade or something.
Because at a young age, she most likely won't go for it!
Because so many young people have it and it kinda looks slutty, so obviously parents don't want that.

My mom's the same way, she won't let me get tattoos, piercings, and whatnot, until I'm eighteen. Which I think is pretty lame, since it's my own body, y'know?
Maybe you could prove to your mom that you'd be responsible enough to get your bellybutton pierced.
I never even talked to my mom about it, and I pierced mine myself, which SUCKED, because it hurt like hell for a week after I pierced it with a safety pin, and when I tried to put an actual ring through, I couldn't find the hole, and it was all over depressing. So I wouldn't advise that.
But she is your mom, and she has control over you until you're eighteen.
Hope I helped<3

it's actually five years if youre thirteen.
and, it's your mom, so she gets the final say. i'd say just wait 'till you're eighteen and don't be mad at your mother, because honestly what kind of 13 year old pierces her belly button?

go on google or another search engine and find information about belly button rings. Make sure to put alot of time and effort into this. By doing so this will show you mom that you really want this and that you are aware of the pros and cons. Make sure to let her know that you are going to take care of it. You could suggest that you pay for it too. That might help convince her.
