does anyone have any tips on convincing my mom to let me pierce my bellybutton? i already have 6 piercings in my ears and she said no more after i got my 5th hole (cartilage).. i pierced the 6th one (other cartilage) myself hehehe woo but she didnt like it (that was like a year ago). so she said no more but i want it soooo bad. i already tried asking for it as my 17th bday present (in september). no. i tried askin if i can get it if i keep a job for so many months, get all A's in school, etc. no. i tried researching and telling her the facts/risks/care/faqs/etc. no. so basically whenever i ask i get yelled at to quit asking. ahh but i want it lol! any ideas? :D
Additional info, added Tuesday January 16 2007, 8:36 pm: maybe i should specify... im 16. im not doing it myself.. woo no. and i have to have a parent sign for it until im 18. so yeah. she'd kill me if i went behind her back in did it.. especially since i already did my ear last summer. .

The best thing i can suggest for you to do is just wait till your 18 that way she cant yell at you.
yea and not doing it yourself is probly a good idea.
luvbug555 answered Tuesday January 16 2007, 9:14 pm: wait a little until shes not so mad. then, hang around her a little and check her eyes. if the pupil part in the middle is big, shes probably going to say yes. if its small, shes in a bad mood so you should wait until another time. then, go and explain to her why you want it so bad. dont say all your friends have one because parents never go for that theyl probably give you that "if your friends jumped off a cliff" stuff wich you probably dont want to hear. tell her your willing to wait a year, so she dosent think your doing it on a whim(sp). maybe offer to take one or two of your ear piercings in exchange. good luck!!!!
