How To Convince Mom To Let Me Get My Nose Pierced

How do I convince my mom to let me get my nose pierced (I'm 16)?

You have three options:Option 1: You do your research - look into how it is done, how long it takes to heal, how to take care of it, who are reputable professional piercers in your area and what is the minimum age they agree to do it (most places require either a parent present or a consent form being signed if the customer is a minor). You read up on different styles of jewelry, find out from friends and acquaintances and the internet what might suit you best, look into where you can get them and how much it would cost, as well as the piercing itself. Once you have done all of your research, you take it to your mother - tell her about how much you want to do it and what it means to you, tell her how long it takes to heal, that you know how to take care of it, show her you are a responsible person. You must also know how much all of this is going to cost - it is very likely that she will be paying for it and since it is her money, she has no obligation to spend it on an unnecessary ornament. When I was 17, my mother agreed to pay for my ear piercings, but all stretching paraphernalia and tunnels came from my pocket.Option 2: check in with your local piercers to find out their age limits. How old do you need to be to be eligible for a body modification? Do you need a guardian’s consent form? Must the guardian be present? If 16 is allowed and they don’t require consent from guardians and the law also states that it is fine, then you collect money and get it done. If the law and piercers say that no, you need your guardian’s consent, then go back to option 1.Option 3: you do your research and wait until you’re no longer a minor and then get it done. Legally, your mother can’t have a say anymore.The only way you can convince an adult is to convince them of you being a responsible and upstanding person and that your nose piercing is equal to a regular ear piercing - a normal piece of jewelry that has its healing time and is nothing extraordinary. It will not hinder you from getting an education or getting a job. It will not make you do drugs (I fail to see the correlation) nor will it make you promiscuous (again, how?!). If you can put these paranoia out, you’re good. Listen to what your mother is concerned about and talk it through.

First, how old are you? Even with parental permission, piercers put age restrictions on certain piercings, so call different piercing shops and ask at what age do they do nose piercings with parental permission.If the piercers say you are old enough, research the process. Look into how piercers safely pierce people. That includes sltheir gloves, sterile needles and the use of an autoclave. Take notes, so you can present this info to your parents.Prove you are mature enough to get and care for the piercing. That means doing your chores, working hard in school, and caring for other piercings you may have.Present all of this to your parents in a calm, rational way. Answer questions clearly and maturely. Ask if they'd like to talk to a piercer and get them in touch by one via phone or in person. Point out how mature you've been and that you are capable of caring for the piercing.If they say no, ask why. Perhaps it's something you can rectify. If not, thank them for listening and ask when they'd be okay with it.If you have to wait until you are 18, try to be patient. The time flies fast in retrospect. See if perhaps you parents will allow a different piercing. Getting mad and throwing a fit will not help your case, so be cool and collected. You can also try asking again in a year.Continue demonstrating your responsibility and maturity and do your best to wait patiently. You might get lucky.Good luck!

Before talking with your mom, engage yourself in a conversation.Ask yourself: Why do I want a nose ring? Don’t ask this in a judgmental way but in a curious way. Be kind and compassionate to yourself when you ask it - but also honest.It has been said that the drivers of self interest is: Money, Power, Status, Popularity.This won’t give you money or power. But is there someone in your peer group that has it who is popular or has status? Is that impacting your desire? It is important to be honest here because most of us don’t like to think that we are being influenced by others.Sometimes, we take on other people’s desires as our own. This is why you can send two kids in a room full of toys and they end up fighting over the same one. Is this truly coming from you or is there someone in your group who wants this and now you want it too?What is unique about a nose ring that intrigues you? The elegance of it? The beauty of it? That it is unusual and will draw attention to you?Once you have a dialogue with yourself, a dialogue with your mom is easy. Invite her to a walk. Then, open up about it. Let her know your desire - then listen very carefully to what she says. Don’t be defensive. Let her wisdom speak. Then, allow your inner wisdom to speak. Peacefully, honestly, and respectfully.Remember that this is a dialogue, not one conversation. She might say: “let me think about it” or she might even say “no”. You can say, OK mom, lets do another walk next week. Or “I respect your no, but I would like to ask you to just think about it for a bit. I will talk to you next week.” Let the idea blossom in her mind. In the end, she may say yes or she may say no. But, you will know that you listened to her reasons while you also assertively and peacefully spoke your truth. But, you will keep the respect with your mom and show her that you can have a mature conversation. That will open up many doors in the future - including the nose ring.

How do I convince my mom to let me get my ears pierced?

Take a long-term view of negotiations.Mention it casually one day when he’s in a good mood. “I was thinking of getting my ears pierced.” Let him bluster and rant. Don’t get defensive. You were, you’ll say, just thinking about it.Then one day, when you’ve done something he’s pleased about, mention it again. “I saw a pair of earrings I’d really like for my birthday, when I get my ears pierced.” Again, let him splutter.From that point on, mention it rarely, and only when he’s in an excellent mood. If you’re shopping with him, show him a pair of earrings you like. “Won’t these look great on me?” you’ll say and he’ll scowl because…whatever.The thing that is likeliest to happen is he’ll get used to the idea. And he’ll see you’re thinking about this logically and aren’t haring off to do a thing because your friends did. Then, when you bring home excellent grades, or are nearing a holiday or birthday say “For this /whatever/ I’m getting my ears pierced. I’ve save up the money and researched where I’m going and it’s my treat to me because look how awesome I am.” (hold up that awesome report card and smile.)This is not 100% guaranteed, but if you are a little patient and let him get used to the idea, I bet he comes around.
