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.

Tell them they have a choice: You either get the belly button pierced, or You get your nose pierced.
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.

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?"
Navel Piercing...How Do I Convince My Parents?
The best thing you can do is invite your mom and dad along to the piercing place. Your dad might not go, but you might be able to convince your mom. Just invite them and ask to talk to the piercer. Let your mom ask all the questions she wants! If you show your parents that you're going to a hygienic place and you're willing to care for it, then she might be more convinced. The ideal piercing place should resemble a clinic. It will smell clean and sanitized. It should look immaculate! They'll have an autoclave on site and your piercing jewelry will come in sterile packages and your piercer will only open the sterile package in front of you. Your parents probably have this idea of you getting pierced by some huge tatted/pierced guy smoking a cigarette in a dingy room. Show them how clean it is. I know my mom was really surprised when she came with me for my tattoo and saw how clean the place was. Although she wasn't impressed with the 12 piercings...at least I got them all done in clean environments and didn't have any complications. Reasons why you should get your belly pierced: 1) The piercer is clean - low risk 2) You're responsible to clean it and maintain it 3) You're not planning on showing it off. You just want one! 4) You can always take it out without issue - minimal scarring 5) Your parents can watch you undergo pain 6) You think it's cute 7) It's non permanent 8) No one will see it 9) You've worked hard in school 10) Promise to do extra work around the house 11) You'll do it anyways...at least you're asking first I don't know any places. I would ask friends or someone else with piercings. Shop around though. Don't go for the cheapest piercing.
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.
