Your parents will likely notice. They aren't fools, you know.
And I also wanted to say that I agree with not being able to get it done without a parent present.
Here in Kansas, you can't even walk in the door until you are age 16, and between 16 and 18, a parent must be present, ID in hand.

I must warn you- your tongue will probably swell quite a lot, and you wont be able to eat properly, so your parents might notice. Also, I don't know what age you are, nor where you live, but a respected piercing studio will need a parent with you if you're under 18. [ Disconnected's advice column | Ask Disconnected A Question ]
