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 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?"

Reasons for my mom to let me get my belly button pierced?
Just tell them your reason for ASKING instead of WANTING it... let them know that you would never want to do anything that would hurt them, but this just means something to you. You cant always scientifically explain why you want something, you just do. Tell them you hope by showing them enough respect that you consider their opinion will help them to consider yours.
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.
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.
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.
My mum won t let me get an industrial piercing.?
I m 13. I got my first earrings done when I was 10 and my second ones done earlier this year. A few months back I told my mum about an industrial piercing and she said no. ( i d be paying for it and i did a lot of research on it and im responsible enough to take care of it) Just now, i asked again and she still said no. She doesn t want to consent to it. I m just extremely frustrated and upset because I researched a lot and I really know I would like it and I ve waited a long time. I work hard at school. I get do grades, I do a lot of chores (i dont get payed for it, i dont get any money from my mum), I help with the pets so it s not like I don t deserve a piercing or blah blah blah. I get 20€ a month from my grandma. Im planning on asking her to take me because she s more likely to say yes than my mum but I doubt it. Do you guys know how I could possibly persuade my mum to let me get it? Thank you. (I also pointed out to her that some people let their 12 year olds get septums or belly buttons done but she replied with that stupid "if everyone was jumping of buildings would you join in?" -.-)
My mum won't let me get a septum piercing?
I've wanted it done for 2 years almost, but my mum & dad think that piercings anywhere other than your ears is just forign, disgusting & stuff like that. Plus my mum said it makes people look like a bull haha. I've done all of the research possible, and I know how to take care of it. What can I say to convince her to let me get it done? I've tried EVERYTHING. Like, I'm not kidding. I mean, it's not like she'll ever have to see it, right? What if I find a pic of someone w/ a septum that looks good with it? Do you think that'd change her mind? And she's always like 'why do you want one?' but I can never really answer it, cause I loveee them. But THEN she's like 'why do you love it?' I mean, come on.. wtf. Or should I just trick her & be like 'can I get a cartilage piercing?' & cause they're on your ear, if she says no, then I could say something like how she said ears only? hahah idk. Serious answers only pleasee. Don't tell me not to poke holes in my face. [:
