Show her you've done your research show she takes you more seriously. Find out the safest place to get it done, and the risks involved. BTW, bottom lip for sure. :) (CH)

Do you have other piercings? Have you been responsible with them? If so, that's proof enough. If you can be responsible with those, then you can be responsible with this one. If she still doesn't let you get the piercing, just accept it.

Well, I'm with your mom on this one - I also think it looks awful. If it were me, you wouldn't be able to convince me under any circumstances.
The problem with a piercing of that nature is that is heals up very quickly when left empty - therefore, it's not something you can take out from time to time if the situation calls for it (for instance, if you get a job and your employer won't allow it). That's the main reason I'd say "no". If you can come up with a counter to that, it would be your best bet, but I don't think there is one. Things like "it's my body, my choice" and "what's the big deal?" are unlikely to cut any ice. She likely feels that to have you going around with a lip ring would be a poor reflection on her as a mother, and to be a good mother is one of our species' primal instincts. You're not going to win against that.
My best advice to you (and I know it's not what you want to hear) is to wait for two years. Then you can get it done with or without her permission, and avoid the entire issue.

Is it legal where you live to get piercings at age 16? Do you need your mom's permission to get a piercing?
There are temporary piercing rings, (no bar-bells) the clip-on ring type for lips and nose that you could try out and see if your mom can and will get used to it, if not accept it and okay the real piercing.
Google body piercing jewelry and you'll come up with sites to look and search for the temp rings.
But, if you really want your lip pierced, bar-bell style, permanently, and you can without your mom's permission, then do what makes YOU happy.
As far as making up your mind on which side: most right-handed people are comfortable with left piercings. Left-handed people are more comfortable with right piercings. Bottom is more comfortable in kissing situations, BTW.
