First of all, I highly suggest not doing it anyway. This'll only cause your parents to be upset, and they might not trust you as much anymore and they might not let you get anything else you want done or do anything. Because believe me, they'll find out sooner or later. I mean at first kids are usually alert whenever it comes to their new piercing and hiding it, but after awhile they forget they have it and you might accidentally do something and they notice it. Plus, depending on the shirt you're wearing, it's not the hard to notice your kid has a little bump on their stomach.

I would suggest waiting until you're a little older and you can show your parents you're more responsible, mature, and more able to handle having your belly button pierced. And then talk about it with them then, and maybe they'll trust you more and feel more comfortable with your waiting and they'll let you get it done.

Also, they're probably just worried about the actuall process of their daughter getting this little thing through her belly button, and could be worried about the consequences. If you want to read this, this girl talks about the problems with hers:

A few of my friends also have theirs done, and they always freak out if anyone pokes their stomach cause it'll hurt or if they lay down the wrong way, it might get ripped out or infected and it just seems like a huge hassle to me, but that's just my opinion.

So first of all, I just suggest thinking about if you're totally postiive you want one in the first place, and then go to your parents and discuss it with them and ask why they exactly aren't comfortable with you wanting one and show them a list of reasons you found on the internet that ensure getting it done is safe and fine if taken care of properly, which you'll promise you'll do so. If they still say no, then go for the "in a couple of years" thing and ask them if in a couple of years, you prove you're repsonsible and mature enough to handle, then can you get it done.

I hope I helped.

Your parents will find out anyway if you go behind their backs and have a piercing without their consent. I can understand both sides of the argument having a daughter who is into piercings (ears/tummy/tongue... she is 19 now). You are still quite young and are still growing. Did you know that the piercing in the belly button will move and you will have to have it done again in a few years time? Why not wait until you are nearer 16 and can prove to your parents that you are mature enough to appreciate their concerns.

Ask them if you could have your ears pierced first. If you have them already, why not ask if you could have a second set of piercings in your ears.

Obviously, if you are that determined to have it done, nothing anyone can say will change your mind. Just be prepared for a big fallout if you ignore your parents wishes. That will then cause them to not trust you in future and that may cause even bigger problems.

I know that what I have written is not what you wanted to hear but I wish you all the best anyway.
Good luck.
