Piercing ideas?
Well, I love piercings. However, on the other hand, my mom isn't as open to the idea. I do have my ears pierced and have since I was very, very young. I really want to stretch my ears but when I brought up the idea to my mom it was a definite "no". I'm pretty sure I could convince my mom to let me get more piercings to my ears or possibly my naval, eyebrow, or nose, as well. But these aren't exactly what I would want. I'm liking hips, collarbones, tounges, and lip piercings. I do plan to bring this up with my mom, although she is contrarian, and see what her terms and conditions are.. So what are other piercing ideas that may stand a chance with my mom?
I'm not interested/ nor will my mom let me get septum, dimple, bridge, nape, or any piercings in my "private" area. Also, I think the biggest issue she has about piercings is that it might be difficult along the rode to get a job..
Also, I am a fifteen year old girl. Thanks in advance.

Cheek piercings are really cool.
But if you want something less out there trying getting the tops of your ears pierced, i've always wanted under my collar bone pierced.
Monroes are also pretty cool.
There's tons of really cool piercings.

I had a similar problem. My parents were none too receptive to the idea of me getting more piercings than the double pierce I had in my lobes. Although it seems impossible, at least it did for me, give it some time. Think hard about each piercing and space it out. One thing I didn't think about enough was the healing process for each piercing, because my lobes, even the lobe piercing I did myself, healed totally fine.
If you still really want a specific piercing, bring it up to your mother in a mature, informed way. Present her with the risks, benefits, process, reputable places, etc. Thats what I did for my parents and they were far more open to the idea.
I got my lobes pierced when I was 10 and 12 (single then double) and pierced my third when I was a senior in high school. My parents were very clear that if I got anything more than a double pierce in each ear, they would not pay for college. So I found a semi-creative way to hide that piercing till I left for school.
When I got to school I went a little piercing crazy, much to my parent's dismay. Within the first three months of school I got my helix, tragus, rook, navel, and a microdermal on my hip. I love all of my piercings but the healing for them is more difficult than I expected.
I did my research and read a bunch of stories about people's individual piercings and it was pretty much half and half- good and bad experiences. Just take that into account and consider how well or how poorly your body will accept the piercing. If you r other piercings haven't healed well, than start out with a piercing that heals easily (or easier than others) before venturing out to a riskier piercing- like the rook, navel, or surface piercings. Also, consider the maintenance that is involved- I got a bunch of piercings quickly, which meant a lot of time cleaning- which wasn't so easy and likely led to an intense tragus infection.
Another big problem you are probably going to face is your age. I wanted a bunch of piercings at your age and my parents were very strict about never getting them, especially while still living in their house- which is a valid point. Most highly professional and reputable piercing salons will likely only pierce you once you turn 18. At my piercing salon, they wouldn't even let you in if you were under 16. And even when they knew I was 18 because I had been there a few days prior, and I was with my mom, they still wouldn't pierce me without my ID, which I had to go get from my room.
Don't get anything pierced with a gun or with an unsterile equipment. Never pierce anything yourself (contrary to my somewhat successful, although poorly placed self pierced lobe), placement can be a huge factor in risk of rejection and infection, as well as other more serious complications. Ask about their credentials, you will never regret asking it but you will regret not asking about it.
My piercings haven't made it difficult for me to get a job- I currently work as a research assistant at a large hospital, but it also depends on how you present yourself. I've always avoided the temptation to get facial piercings for that reason.
For one that your mom might be more likely to go for, as well as one that might not be as much of a hassle for future employment, I would consider the antitragus- one I'm considering as well. Sometimes it can appear to look like a lobe piercing, since the other side of the jewelry can sometimes be difficult to see- good for some people, not good for others. It all depends on preference.
Any more questions just let me know! Good luck!

Here's a whole list of piercings for a start: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
The thing is, if your mom objects to the specific type you want, what's the point in getting a different one? Don't get one just for the sake of it.
Do talk to your mom and ask her about her specific reasons for objecting to you getting a piercing. Remember to stay calm and don't whine. She may or may not be reasonable, but for as long as you live in her house, she makes the rules.
It is true that employers often don't like piercings on employees. Many people are superficial like that.
If your mom won't let you get the piercings, consider wearing fake piercing jewellery.

Dermal piercings! They cost a little more, but are very easy to take care. I have two, and neither one has ever been infected, and to be honest, I hardly took care of them bc a) they are on my side, up by my boob and are hard to even look at and b) they never really needed it. I too had my hips pierced, but they got pushed out. I plan to get them re pierced, these are a little hard to take care of. Pending on if you get an anchor piercing, or dermals. Anchors get caught on almost everything, pants; belts ect.. but still, very cute. A lip is a good piercing, just be sure to use mouthwash, a lot. If you have braces, it will get caught A LOT.. lol Belly buttons are cute & fun! Try to get both top & bottom, I think it looks way cuter! Nose is cute, but to me, it was my most painful piercing, others say different; everyone has their own opinions about every piercing.
Whatever you choose make sure you take care of it & if you have any questions about it after dont be scared to go back to the place where you got it pierced at, they are more than welcomed to help ya out! :)
