I really want to get a piercing. Really really badly. not like a normal piercing but a unique kind of one. Nothing big just something thats different. I've tried talking my grandma [I live with her] about it and she wont let me. I've talked about getting my eyebrow pierced and she said she didn't want me to do that. I've been thinking about a Marylyn Monroe [sry if spelled wrong] because I've been told that it would look good on me. I have two questions kind of, How can I try to convence my g-ma to let me get the piercing [knowing her, I would most likely be able to get one if it wasn't too extreme and if I had info about piercings and stuff] and what other piercings would be a good idea? [I do not want a nose or another ear piercing though]
thanks so much.
If you grandma doesn't happen to give you permission for a piercing on your face, try one on your ear. It may seem a little unoriginal because everyone has their ears pierced these days, but there are different types of ear piercings. You can get your industrial, your tragus, your conch or your cartilage. Those are all nice piercings that are fairly decent & some are even hidable.
If you're not sure how they would look, google them & see if you like them. I know that most piercing shops would charge about $30-$40 depending on the piercing, where you go & the ring you choose. Now when you do decide to get a piercing, make sure you go somewhere clean. If they do not open the package in front of you, get out of there. If the needles are laid out already or they're soaking in alcohol, leave. I don't care if they're in alcohol, those have still been previously used & it's gross to use them on someone else. Also, make sure they explain everything to you. Make sure they tell you what they're doing, how they're doing it, what it'll be like, & how to take care of it. As for if it'll hurt or not, it's different for everyone. What may tickle to me may hurt for you & vice versa.

You didn't say how old you are? if you are too young you have to get parent consent so take someone who you know that is older then you and is happy to take you.. if you get your neck pierced and wear you hair down when your around your grandma she wont be able to see it.
But if you are too young and no one will take you i'm sorry but your going to have to wait.. sucky I know!
Or you could just tell her that its a phase your going through and you will eventually take it out if she lets you get it done. Tell her that piercings aren't permanent like tattoo's are lol [ Roxy07's advice column | Ask Roxy07 A Question ]
orphans answered Friday July 6 2007, 12:58 am: Your conflicting with yourself. If you want to look different, piercings are not the way. EVERYONE has peircings now, be it those bars, snake bits, nose rings, etc. Don't do anything you will regret! Unless you are thoroughly certain you want this piercing, AND have wante dto for quite some time (very important, you would be suprised how fast you can change your opinion within 6 months!) If you reaaaallly want it just tell your grandma its your own damn ear and your gonna do it wether she likes it or not (in a polite way of course :D) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
