Your in a position where you can't do much. But since you are seventeen you will be turning 18 within the year. So I would wait until then, and then let her know that you would like to get your ears pierced and are going to do it on your own. You will be old enough so it shouldn't be too big of an issue, wishing you luck!

At age 17 I do not believe you need a parents permission to get them done. Go to Walmart or Claires as you are old enough.

The one thing you could try with mom is telling her she is only putting off the inevitable by refusing to allow you to have your ears pierced. That as soon as you turn 18 you will have it done. Think about it before you have this discussion with her for I'm sure you will end up in a heated debate/argument with her if you do say this to her.
I'm not going to say mom is right or wrong. The facts of the matter is that you live under moms roof and by law you are a minor until you turn 18. Until then you have to abide by what mom says when the law says you need moms permission to have something. You have waited 11 years another few months shouldn't be that big a deal. You can look forward to your 18th birthday as getting your ears pierced as your birthday present to yourself. You will not need moms permission any more just proof you are 18.
I can't justify why your mom has refused to allow you to get your ears pierced. Many moms have their daughters ears pierced as infants. Each parent has their own ideas as is what is right and what is wrong or what is best for their children. You will be no different in raising your children. You and your mom will have many a discussion/arguments over how you raise your children. Facts are when they are your children you raise them as you see fit. Facts are you at this time are the minor and have to put up with the decisions mom makes as long as they do you no harm.

My oh my, I'm only 15, and have about 10 piercings. You just need to make it clear to your mom that you are going to be 18 soon anyway, and she needs to give you a LOT more lead way. Honestly, if she isn't letting you get your ears pierced, it makes me wonder what other crazy things she isn't letting you do.
Hope all goes well. xx

I'm with you on this one. I want to make it clear that I'm not or disobeying parents but it's clear mom has an irrational fear she is projecting on you. It's for her to deal with. Not you.
You're also an adult or will be in a few months so by now can make decisions for yourself. There's no way pierced ears will make you act older or get into situations you shouldn't.
Put it this way when it comes to piercings I wouldn't pierce anything on your face or that affects personal appearance or people's perception if they saw it. Some people do and that's alright. Considering people pierce more risque parts of their body this is so tame.
Here's what I would do talk to an adult your trust that mom respects. Explain that mom has a loopy fear about pierced ears and that you are almost an adult and WILL be doing it on your own but want back up if she gets angry that there is ZERO wrong with it. Then again, almost 18 and do it on your own at the mall and if she hates it at first she may warm up later when she sees it has ZERO to do with behavior or doing stuff you aren't ready for.
