CHECKERED-LOVE answered Monday February 12 2007, 2:36 pm: ew why would you even want to get it done?
wait a little bit.
i dont know more than 1 person who is thirteen and has their nose pierced. i say wait because then you can decide if thats what you really want.
i agree with your dad hes just watchin out for ya. [ CHECKERED-LOVE's advice column | Ask CHECKERED-LOVE A Question ]
tommys_baby answered Monday February 12 2007, 12:30 pm: First, you need to prove to him that you are responsible enough to take care of it. Prove to him that you can take care of it, and it won't get infected. Do you have any other body piercings? If you do, then explain how you took such good care of them. If you don't then, I'm assuming you have at least your ears pierced. Tell him that your ears never got infected.
Write him a letter/essay and explain why you want to get it done. Don't use stupid things such as "it will look cool", "everybody else has it", "[insert name here]'s dad didn't care that she/he got it" Be very mature about it.
Don't argue when he says no. Accept it and use better reasoning next time.
Tell him you are paying for it. That should loosen him up a little.
charmed3fanatic answered Monday February 12 2007, 12:11 pm: i have my nose pierced.. and it's infected. i'm 16 too. but if you REALLY want it done write him a paper on why you want it done. but most likely parents who say no; really mean no and there is no compromising.. but good luck hun, [ charmed3fanatic's advice column | Ask charmed3fanatic A Question ]
thelaura answered Monday February 12 2007, 11:38 am: If I were you, I'd wait it out. Nose piercings might not seem it, but theyre hard work to take care of. I've had 1 failed one and got it done again, and I'm 18 :)
Since you're only 13 and still in school I'm guessing, you may accidently bump it in PE etc. and that hurts..
Think about it. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
