How can I convince my parents to let me get a bellybutton piercing?
Your parents are probably concerned (among other things) that there could be medical complications causing a health risk for you. It’s possible they also simply dislike the look for personal or cultural reasons, or feel it would send the wrong message about the kind of person you are, since this kind of piercing has been considered acceptable for only a relatively short time. When you are 18 you can do as you wish, of course, but meanwhile, have you considered getting some non-pierced navel jewellery? If you Google “non-pierced navel jewelry” you can find some nice looking pieces on Etsy and no doubt from other sources as well. Depending on where you live, you might be able to find some in stores locally.If you haven't already, you should also look up (on several sites) the pros and cons of a navel piercing, how it’s done and how long it has to heal before you can change the jewellery. If you’ve had your ears pierced, you know that you have to wait until they are thoroughly healed before you can change from the original studs. It’s even longer for the navel because the normal movement of the body tugs and stretches the site and slows things down. You might not be able to wear anything really dazzling till the fall anyway, but if you get some non-pierced pieces, you can have your fun right away without the risk, pain and healing process. And maybe your parents will even get used to the look and feel more positive about the idea.
How to convince my mom to let me get my belly button pierced?
I know how you feel I was in the same situation. My parents are so strict about piercings becauseni screwed up a few times because I pierced my own ears a few times and they got mad. I knew I could never ask them about a belly piercing. What I did was I wrote a letter to my parents and I put in how I always get good grades and do nothing bad, how it will not affect anything I do and act, and also put that you know the pro and cons about this piercing and the procedures. In my letter I put that we could talk about this in a calm manner and all that It made them realize how much I wanted this and how it will not affect them and only me. A letter is the best idea because I get tounge tied when I talk to my parents about this. So in a letter you can get it all out and they have time to think about it (: Good luck! If you have any questions message me! I can also send you my letter hah
How can i convince my parents to let me get my belly button pierced???
Tell them they have a choice: You either get the belly button pierced, or You get your nose pierced.
How to convince my parents to let me get a belly button piercing?
My parents told me absolutely no the day before I turned 18 but I was able to convince them by the next morning. What did was point out that it's something you can only do when you're young. Once you're older abs a mom it's time to take it out (in my opinion). I also made a point to say how gross I though some other piercings were such as facial piercings or nipple piercings. I showed them some very tacky huge belly rings I found on the internet and told them how ridiculous I thought they looked. Then I showed then smaller more reasonable ones and convinced them that they were more tasteful than the ones my parents have in mind when they think of their daughter getting pierced. I also painted my mom's nails and got her to talk to my dad. The biggest thing that sold them on it was when I told them I wouldn't be allowed to have one when I start working in the hospitals. So I would be taking it out later and would never have the opportunity again.
How can I convince my mom to get my belly button pierced?
This question is what I call at POET question (Plain Old Economic Theory). The simple way to convince a practical person in your life to give you permission for something, you need to convince them that the benefits will outweigh the costs. If your mother is reluctant to let you get your belly button pierced, it is likely that she believes that the costs for such a pursuit will exceed any possible benefits, in fact she may not see any benefits at all.So, if this is what you want to do, I would put the request in the language of benefits. Ask yourself questions like what is the utility of getting your belly button pierced, or how will your life be better if you did it? Would this result in you getting better grades, enhancing your chances of entering into more sustainable relationships? If so, you need to provide solid evidence and good reasons for why you believe that. Good luck!This is of course a light at the end of the tunnel, which is the magic of adulthood. Once you are legally an adult, your mothers permission is no longer required. When that day comes, feel free to pierce belly buttons, ears, noses, toes, backs, and anywhere else you can pierce.
How do I convince my parents to let me get my ears pierced as a 15-year-old?
I have gotten my ears pierced when I was 2 months old, perhaps it's from my culture since it's the norm in our family, and never really knew people weren't allowed to until a certain age before my friend told me. Anyway back to the question…Firstly, do not get agitated, frustrated or yell at your parents, this will only make the angry and will make them less likely to say yes.Ask your parents why they do not want you to have piercings. Perhaps they're afraid you'll start wanting piercings all over your body if you starts off with one hole in each ear? Also, realize that they are probably gonna refuse you no matter how much if you wanna getting piercings on your nose or belly button, or ten on your ears in which case you should give up.Also ask them what it would take from you to finally have them agree. Maybe you need to appease them by getting your grades up or not act like one of those people who grow up to become drug addicts (not insulting anyone here). Help around the house and act respectfully towards them. This way you'll be able to gain their trust and show them that you have become responsible.If things are still not progressing, arrange a meeting or an appropriate time to discuss the matter. Maybe around the dinner table when everyone is calm and not stressed from work. Ensure that, again, you are not shouting or whining or yelling. You should point out any of your friends who do have piercings and are still respectable and respectful. Tell them that getting a couple of tiny holes or your ears won't drastically change the world or your life. Then ask them at what age would be appropriate to get a piercing which they will probably say is 18. Tell them that you only have 3 more years until you're 18 and that getting something 3 years early won't really affect anyone.If all else fails, still do not get angry or yell as they might be testing to see if you're mature enough. Continue your “mature” act. Just remember that you will probably not get what you want straight away and that convincing parents of something will always take a long time as well as your perseverance, time and effort.Good luck!
How to convince my mom to let me get my bellybutton pierced...?
1.Bring the subject up casually, at a family dinner. "Hey mom can you pass the peas? By the way, are those new earrings? Speaking of which, can I get a second hole in my ear?" 2.Be prepared to get a straight "No!" 3.Point out the fact that you are young now, and need the opportunity to try new things and find out who you really are. Tell them you love the look of them, its very fashionable and you want to try it out before you have to consider dress code for a career. 4.Get one of your parents to see your side of the story. 5.Use phrases like "I want to be myself." "I don't care what people think of me." "I'm growing up, this will make me feel more free" "I will never wear it when I'm in the house" 6.Use words like please (but don't use it more than 5 times), help, will, highlight, myself, me, I, free, decorate. 7.Make it seem as if getting a piercing is an art form. Don't actually use words like 'pierce' too much; use decorate, don't use 'earring', use ornament, don't use 'like', use 'love', as if it were (your favorite hobby here), instead of 'ear', use canvas. 8.Don't bring up friends (i.e. "Jane has piercings, why can't I?") 9.Avoid getting too angry at your parents. They will not change their mind if you yell at them. 10.Know your parents, their moods and respond accordingly. 11.Discuss the reasons you want to get a multiple piercing and be prepared to have to answer questions such as "what are the benefits of getting it?"

Will this essay convince my mom to let me pierce my belly button?
Sounds good and sounds like you did your homework on it :) 15 is an appropriate age and you can show more responsibility with you taking care of your body, like you said fitness wise and maintaining your piercing. You offering to pay for your jewelry also shows responsibility, and your determination towards getting one, as my mom didn't want to waste money on buying my nose rings and piercings because she thought i'd just get rid of them when i got tired. People have the misunderstanding that because it is hidden and on your stomach that you would show your stomach more to show it off, which is true to some extent, it just flatters your body more. I know i like looking and making my body look more attractive if there's a little diamond there. rather than just a plain bellybutton. @ERIN: That's true, but i'm none of those. I've known nurses, college grads and teachers with them and they're not trashy. you must be old fashioned. Welcome to the 21st century, piercings and tattoos don't define people negatively as much.
