Convincing letter for cartilage piercing?
Letters/notes/references from the relatives who have them would be a good addition. Make sure you have researched a lot and show the research to them. Pick a reputable place to get it done and find their prices, showing this to your parents. I am in the same situation as you are and I'm also writing a letter, hopefully it works and we both get a piercing! :) Your letter is really good, good luck! *Also, if you asked them why they said no, be sure to address that in your letter to settle their fears.
Is this a convincing letter to get my belly button pierced for my parents?
Dear Mom and Dad, I really think you should reconsider letting me get my belly button pierced. The reason of that being is I am a very responsible teen and I really really want it pierced. Even though there are some negatives with getting your belly button pierced for example not being able to swim for a month and the risk of infection, I know I can prevent that. I am willing to clean it everyday twice a day for the needed time and I would be very responsible with it. Even though you may think its a bit slutty, I don't think it is at all. As long as I am not showing it off to anyone and I dont wear the long dangly belly rings I know I will still be the same person. Also belly button piercings are temporary and I can take it out at anytime if I ever feel I don't want it anymore. That is unlike tatoos and all that stuff. Also it is a piercing I can hide very easily and no one will ever know unless they see me in a bikini. I really feel I am ready to get it pierced I have been thinking about it for a while now and I have considered everything and I know that one day I might not want it, but I can just easily take it out. I may be a bit young but I know that if I am responsible enough to get straight A's in school, I am responsible enough to have and take care of a belly button piercing. I know it may seem like a big deal but belly button piercings are actually pretty popular with people now and they are basically just like an ear piercing but in a different place! If I wear to ever take out the piercing it would heal back to normal and my belly button would be the same. I will pay for the belly button piercing all by myself and if you really need it I could help pay for the gas money to get to Illinois. I know I haven't been very nice lately and that is because I am very frustrated that mom said I could get my belly button pierced than completely changed her mind. But, I will really try hard to act nicer to you guys. Also I will do extra chores around the house and anything else it takes to get my belly button pierced. Thanks, Alyssa
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.
I'm 16 and I want another piercing but my parents won't let me without a good reason help?
How many piercings do you currently have and where? Have you asked your parents what they would consider "a good reason?" Which piercing(s) are you considering?If you want something that looks cool/aggressive/rebellious but your parents aren't into the idea of you scarring yourself and possibly regretting it later on, consider talking to them about a septum. There's loads of jewelry available for basically any kind of look, so you can switch from big *ss BCR's to dainty little rings with glittery stones in them as you please; you can even make a deal with your parents to put a retainer in when attending family events or similar to help your cause. Same goes for a potential employer. If any scarring does occur it'll be invisible inside your nostrils. It's painful, but all the best things in life are :) Best of luck!
How to convince my parents to let me get and industrial piercing?
Well since you bring up school....How are you grades in school? I mean maybe you could mention to your parents that your getting good grades(show them proof of course) and maybe they might change their minds. You could write them a letter telling them how long you have wanted this piercing and that you are responsible enough to take care of this body modification. And show your parents the rulebook and sit them down and have a professional conversation with them.Trust me when you talk to them both in a professional manner they will take you seriously.And read the letter to them or have them read and ask them what they think about it.But remember if they dont agree do not yell at them just respectfully say "Parents I understand and I won't go against what you say until I am old enough to get it done." And by you saying that they may actually change their minds and let you get it. As for the aftercare antibacterial soap(unscented) is great,saline solution wipes/spray, sea salt and warm water. Also once you get the piercing ask the piercer if instead of the bar if you could get 2 separate jewelry then once it heals you can put in a bar.Because in most cases people have trouble with the bar during the healing process so good luck convincing your parents :)
How to convince your parents to let you get a piercing?
So I'm 14 and I've been wanting a piercing besides my first ear piercing, but I don't know how to approach my mom and dad. When I was younger (4 years ago) I planned out every piercing that I ever want to get, and surprisingly I still want all of them. I think that my mom might says yes because of my outstanding grades and I do chores all the time without them asking me, my dad on the other hand, might be more stubborn about it. The body modifications I want in no particular order are: Spider bites;,Opposite side of the lip than the spider bites; Septum; Double nose; Industrial bar; gages; second whole in ear: Navel; eyebrow; and tongue. I know people are going to say I'm "too young" but I and my parents find myself extremely mature. And I know there might be bullies that come with the piercings but I'm about to do online school anyway so don't mention that. I also have my own money to pay for it so all I need is for them to sign the papers. So please I need some advice.
Im 18 and my parents wont let me get piercings,i need a way to talk to them?
Im 18 I have always done what my parents ask for. We are a christian family and is a lil difficult to them let me get piercings but they are cool at the end of the day. When I was 16 the let me pierced my ears,then I removed them and when I was 17 I did my tragus whithout permission and they were mad at me but it wasnt that big of a deal. But right now Im 18 going to 19 and I told them that I was getting my nose piercing and they were like not blah blah blah. I wanna talk with them not in a rebel way or something. Im not that kid. I've always obey my parents but I just think that is enough of them controling my body. I want them to understand that is my body and that im 18 and I can do whatever I want with my body and that im gonna get my nose pierced anyways. But I just dont found the words can anyone help me? should I talk with them before getting the piercing or after?
Does getting your lip pierced or getting a small tattoo hurt more? which is more expensive? and permanent?
TATTOOS ARE PERMANENT. I thought the big letters would help get that point across. Removing a tattoo costs thousands of dollars and hurts a hell of a lot more than getting the tattoo in the first place. It also takes several sessions and usually leaves a scar. So DON'T get a tattoo unless you want it so badly you can't live without it. If its a toss up between a tattoo and something else, then don't go for the tattoo. Lip rings are not permanent. If you take it out it will close. Even if you have it for 20 years it will still close. If you take lovely care of your piercing it will only leave a small dot of a scar. If you don't take care of it you will have a proportionately larger scar. The pain involved in piercing and tattooing is completely different. And if the pain is factoring into your choice on which to get, then you don't want either badly enough to do it. Tattoos usually cost more than piercings. Even small ones will cost whatever minimum price that a shop puts on its work (usually 45-60 dollars). If you can't look at yourself in the mirror and say "YES, I need that ____" then you arent sure enough to get a piercing or a tattoo. Wait until you make up your mind.
