seriously don't do it behind their back or they will never trust you. just wait and see if they come around when your like 16.

wait. piercings can get expensive. i had the cartildge in my ear done twice,my eyebrow done twice,my ear lobe about 4 times,and an industrial. each of those cost me at least $50. the most expensive being $70. this is in addition to the 4 tattoos i have. total,that's around $500 i spent on having piercings done. i took them all out because i got a job that you can't wear them to. looking back, i wish i just saved the money.
i now wait at least a full year from getting the idea before a tattoo goes on my body. eventually, i'll have two full sleeves.
point is- make sure it's something you really want ( i know you think so right now. give it some time. even get a magnetic belly button ring,see if you like it.) before you go plunking down your cash for nothing.

I hate to sound like a fun ruiner but you have to really think this one through is a belly button piercing really what you want, why are you getting, read up on it, and ask friends or other people who have it if they regret it, but what's going to make you feel worse no belly button piercing or lying to your parents, you don't want to lose their trust, do some research and them come up with a convincing argument of why you should get on worst comes to worst you get one in four yrs when your away from home, and if your doing it for a guy or for friends then it's just not worth it.

girls at my school get it done all the time without their parents knowing. just dont tell your parents and when you go swimming take it out. if you really dont wanna go behind your parents back you need to be like "mom and dad, would you rather me get my belly button pierce(which can go away when i take it out) or get a tatoo. then show them really freaky pictures of wierd tatoos and say you want to get them. chances are... theyre gunna go for the bellybutton.
oh and btw i pierced my friends bellybutton and its really hard. like i kept pushing forever and it wouldnt go through so good luck if you decide to do it yourself

Well i got mine done about 6 mnonths ago and i'm 15. My ma came wityh me and honestly it made it such less of a burden. If they are so dead set against it u don't wanna sneak out and do it. maybe try to convince them though it may be hard. Tell them you wanna be safe and maybe make a deal with them. Tell them you won't do anything else and you want to have them there to do it right. If they don't do it i would wait till you can get it done without there permission and then decide if yo really wan to.
good luck hun!
P.S don't worry it dosen't hurt that bad ;)

It's not a good idea to get a piercing or even a tattoo, just because someone you know got one, and you want to fit in or feel better about yourself because of it, or you'll feel older or accepted. I wouldn't get one, because in a few years you will probably regret it. Plus, it's hard finding a trusted piercing place that is safe and that sanitize all of their instruments so that everything is sanitary. Piercings also require a lot of maintenance, so if you're a lazy person and don't take proper care of your piercings, you could get infections, which can sometimes be deadly...
I wouldn't get a piercing, because piercings offer more cons than pros. Your parents are also just looking out for you and doing what's best because they care about you. Be glad that you have parents that care about you, some teens are the way they are because their parents don't care where they go, who they're with, or what they do. You gotta hand it to them; being a parent is a tough job with a lot of responsibility. Give them some props for doing what they do. :)
If you need anymore help, just ask. :)

just wait-really most teens that get piercing or tatoos regret it-I know this is weird but your parents know whats best for you.Wait a few years and if you still feel the same then, go ahead
