My Mom Won't Let Me Get Another Ear Piercing?
Well hon, I'm a mommy myself!, and I have to say I would just go do it and dont tell her! Just kidding! When I was 17 I wanted to get my nose peirced, and trust me it was in and then it was out (I hated it!), well my mother lets just say laid in the driveway and was bond for me to run her over tring to leave to get it done! But then I looked at the brighter side of things, why not ask her to get one too! It really works! Depending on the sense of hummor I guess! But she went with me and got her nose done too! What I'm saying is, give her a break, ask her to go with you and watch. That way she knows everything is clean and safe! As a mommy myself thats all we really worry about. The safty and cleaness of things and places you go. Not what you are doing, we acucually do want you to be happy! Good luck, and have fun with whatever you do!
I am 14 and my mom won’t let me get a nose piercing. How do I persuade her into letting me get one?
I'm a Mum. I'm also a Mum with several extra holes in my head and face from piercings. I have an eyebrow piercing and a labret, and several piercings in my ears. I never got around to my nose. The labret was pierced wrong and so I removed that, and my eyebrow I removed to have a CAT scan done on my head and never got around to putting it back in. My youngest daughter, your age, actually requested that I do so.Here's my two cents for you.These holes and scars are permanent. My labret you cannot really see, because of the divot in my chin and I didn't wear it very long. The eyebrow is noticeable no matter what. When watching movies, I can always tell when someone has removed a piercing. Whilst you may want it right now, you may not want it later in your life. My daughters weren't allowed their ears pierced until 13 (because they have to care for them and your ears never stop growing…pierce too early and they look stoopid as an adult). Facial piercings they're not allowed until 18, because that's a lifelong decision that I'm not making for them. Ears are different. They've gotten several holes over the years. They can be hidden by hair if necessary. Sorry I didn't help much. I think you should wait. <3. *edit* If you do convince her not, do not do it yourself!!!! Only ever use a trained professional piercer. My friend did her own and hit a nerve in her nose. Whenever she wore her nose ring, her eye would water the entire time. Its no joke. You cannot do piercings yourself.This is me and my eyebrow. And first picture of me on Quora O,o
How do I convince my mom to let me get a third piercing? I get that she doesn't like them because it's "ruining your body" but it's not her body, while she is my mom, it's my body, I should be able to decide. How do I get her to see this?
As a fellow piercing fan, I appreciate your love of decorating you body. My mother was also wildly opposed to piercings. She stressed I should go to college and get a good job and if I still felt like desicrating my body, then I could have at it. And you know what? She was right. Waiting a few years didn’t kill me. I went to an amazing university and worked extremely hard to start a career as a television writer. Then I got my piercings. 20 of them. 28 if you count the temporary arm corset I had a few years ago. I love the way they look and they make me happy. Could I have achieved success with them? Maybe. But I’ll tell you honestly, as much as you and I think piercings look amazing, a lot of people in the professional world don’t. They will judge you and make ridiculous assumptions. When you’re starting off in your career, you don’t need any unnecessary strikes against you. Prove yourself, establish yourself and you can do whatever you want to addorn yourself. As much as I love my piercings, there has never been one moment where I thought, ‘boy, I really wish I got these earlier.’If you do decide to get pierced, your mom should know piercings are temporary. Unless you gauge up past a 00 plug, or develop keloids, you shouldn’t have any real noticeable scarring. It’s not like tattooing or branding or splitting your tongue, for the most part, piercings can just be removed.I’ve been really blessed to have a great career, a wonderful relationship, and a happy life, even with piercings. I asked my mother a few years if my piercings bothered her. She responded, “No. I’m not the one who has to go around looking like an idiot.” So, be prepared, that may be the maximum level of acceptance you get from her.
How do I convince my mom to let me get a nose piercing?
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.
My parents hate piercings. how do i convince them to let me get more?
My daughter, age 26, has piercings and tattoos. She regrets doing all of them. By the way, she did many herself. They are rather ugly, in my opinion. I know my opinion does not matter. The reason my daughter regrets doing all of these...she is now an adult who needs to work to support herself. She wants to work her way up the business ladder and earn more money. Many employers don't want to hire someone who has many piercings and tatoos. You may be too young to be thinking of your own future at this time, but I urge you to do so. Your parents have their reasons for how they think and believe. You will see their reasoning one day. Please think twice about wanting more piercings and tattoos. I know you will do what you want, but just give it some thought. God bless you!
How do I convince my mum to let me get second ear piercings? She thinks that it would be ‘unconventional’ but has agreed to let me get them if I convince her otherwise.
You called her your “mum” so I’m going to assume you’re from the UK (or maybe Australia?) In which case second piercings are kind of just normal now.My youngest daughter (17) has three piercings in each ear plus a nose piercing. I cant recall how many my eldest (25) has, but at least the same.My youngest wears small hoops in each ear lobe plus a small stud in each lobe and a small stud at the top of each ear. She varies her nose piercing from a small hoop to a stud depending on how she feels.No-one would ever look at her and say she was “unconventional” she is neat and tidy and dresses well, her piercings are subtle and (I think) look great. She doesn’t look “alternative” or “goth” or anything like that, just a neat, pretty, teenage girl who happens to have piercings. If she wears her hair down you’d never see the top piercings, If she wears it up they’re still subtle enough that they don’t stand out.Sometimes if she’s going to a party she’ll wear something more visible and she does have some fairly wild ones she got at a festival - but I think she only ever wore them once!Anyway - I don’t know what you might tell your mum - but I’m a fifty five year old UK dad who trusts his teenage daughter to understand what “appropriate” and “inappropriate” means when it comes to things like dressing up for interviews etc. and I’m happy that my daughter can choose for herself how she wants her own ears (and her nose) to look.
How do I convince my mom to let me get my ear pierced at the top?
You should be able to get it pierced at your local pharmacy/parlour without parental consent if you are 16-18, depending on where you live. Nevertheless even though I shouldn't give a personal opinion, I strongly advise you to think again before you decide to do get it done. Is it a one-off moment idea or have you really thought of getting one done for a while now? (Don't want to see a fellow online pal regretting it ;))
How can I convince my parents to let me get a piercing?
As a father of a 20yo I emotionally don't feel like I'm on your 'side'. My daughter wanted all of these + tattoos. I feel like that is such a waste of her body that I have difficulties having a rational conversation about it, since being a parent is (for many years at least) keeping your kid from doing things that will limit her future. Since I definitely would not hire people with visible tattoos and piercings, I want to protect her for the same risks. From people like me, no matter how weird that sounds (and feels).Having said all that, I see that my generation will set the norms for a few more years, and will fade away fast. My daughter grows up dependent on those norms for quite some more years, but not forever. Tattoos and piercings are part of that newer generation, like Elvis was the thing of my parents.Your parents are afraid of you getting damaged or limited and even though rational arguments might go over the table, not a single rational counter argument will convince them because it's only about the underlying fear. You will never convince them (really) with words. As a Persuasion expert, I think the only way is to address those underlying fears. Show them you are aware of their fears and that you acknowledge them. Show you know how these things work and that you are aware of what society might think and do. Build trust that you know what is going on out there. At that moment their fears are addressed. But also bring in that many of these fears are not experienced the same throughout generations. That it might even work differently, depending on the context.And finally, if this fails, launch the plan of getting a tattoo.. And then settle for a piercing. Piercings are 'better than' tattoos because they are less permanent, your parents will understand. My daughter got a tattoo when she was 18. I still don't like it, but I have accepted that it's part of her. And I love everything that is part of her and her choices.
How do I convince my parents to let me get another piercing?
Many states won't allow anyone under 16 to get any piercings at a professional establishment. Some won't until you are 18. I was a professional body piercer for 6 years before I began tattooing and many teens wanted piercings, some their parents even brought in, and I will tell you now that I would say no to your situation regardless of your parents.Oral piercings, of which I have many, take a toll on your teeth. Your teeth are the only ones you will get for the rest of your life. The jewelry, regardless of how well it fits, will touch your teeth. Just touching your teeth, the jewelry will cause damage. In my experience, a teenager is far more active and anxious than someone in their 20s, so most end up chewing on the jewelry or playing with it. Their friends comment on it and admire it, bringing more attention to it so it'll mean more playing with it. Before college, you would probably have a chip, a receding gum line, or less enamel on whatever tooth is closest to your piercing just from the excessive playing with it in class or around friends. I'm with your parents on this one. I'd sooner turn down making the money than perform the piercing.If you still want it at 18, get it. But if your parents tell you it's okay and you end up with a chipped tooth, at least they won't have to hear you blame them for allowing you to have it later on in life.
