Dad wont let me get my ears pierced.?
What are their main concerns? Is it hygiene/safety? Offer to get them pierced at your doctor's office (my mom made me do that). Is it your religion? If so, no advice. Just wear clip-ons until you're 18, then do whatever you want. My advice is to give good, solid arguments to whatever your parents' complaints are, because the "it's going to hurt" and "gay" ones are stupid.
My parents wont let me get another piercing...?
The only way is to wait until you're 18. Piercings like this will hinder your life as an adult. You'd never be taken seriously or get a job wearing one, so what's the point? I say get fake ones and be done with it. But, if you're 18 you can get it whether or not your dad likes. You're an adult and he has no say whatsoever. I've tried having this conversation with my mother about getting a small tattoo and i've come to the conclusion there's no way to reason with a parent on these issues. Just wait and borrow the money from them (don't tell them what's it for) or a friend.
My Parents Wont Let Me Get Pierced?
Haha this was my problem except with my nose :P I just got a group of friends to get it done too and so many of my friends already have them and I told my mom that and had a conversation with her about why she was against it and told her I wansnt trying to act mature or anything so she ended up saying yes and I'm getting it done soon :) Just talk to her ! And @gatorbronco16 or whatever your name is, you're an idiot !! 13 and 14 is like no fricking differance so don't act like you're so much more mature and responsible because of 12 months. I'm friends with 7th graders who are more responsible than someone my age so I don't think age has anything to do with it unless you're like extremely young because its about maturity and whether or not someone who is getting a peircing is responsible enough to take care of it etc. And also I think eyebrow piercings can actually look really good on some people!
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 can i convince my parents to let me get a second piercing in my ears?
I am no big fan of multiple body piercings, but yes, I have noticed the rising popularity of them! I still do only like one pair of piercings on the ears, but I will try and help you as much as I can! Try telling them how you feel and why you want one. Show them pictures on the internet and perhaps explain how medically it does no harm. If any of your friends have them then try get their parents to talk to your parents about it? Perhaps a adult to adult confer may be more sucessful? Being a doctor, I know that if you pierce things yourself there is a big risk of whichever part of your body you have pierced becoming infected. Please do not do it yourself if your parents don't let you! Get it done proffesionally! Good luck!
How do I convince my parents to let me get my cartilage pierced?
There is a question very similar in concept to this one that I answered a few days ago. I feel that it would pertain to this situation as well.Kendra Vogel's answer to My daughter wants a triple earlobe piercing, but I think that's trashy. How do I convince her?I'm not sure if the questions should be merged because it is a different question. Look through the other answers on the linked question; some of them bring up good points about why “trashy” isn't a valid argument to not get piercings.I would suggest pointing out how cartilage piercings are very low risk piercings; they may require extra care but don't need surgery to remove and typically don't cause extensive scarring (like many other piercings out there). Also, you can remove it if you need/want to. There will be a little dot left over from healing, but oftentimes you don't even notice it after it closes up. But remember that after a piercing heals there's scar tissue left in the place. Repiercing it hurts and can take longer to heal than the original one.If you come to a last resort, promise it's the last one you're going to beg them for. I did this for my 3rd lobe piercing on my left ear (I had 3 lobe and 1 cartilage on my right ear and 2 lobe on my left. I wanted to even it out). She made me promise that I was done with my ears being pierced, which I am. She probably thought it looked trashy but didn't say that to me. Getting a harmless piercing wasn't a huge deal, so she decided to compromise and therefore get me off her back about it.You could also make a list of “rules” like I mentioned. That way they know that you will do your best to take good care of it. And get a stud piercing, not a hoop. Plain, silver stud piercings are much “classier” looking to most people, including your parents. Make them see the good, and explain how the bad could be good for them (i.e. If it gets seriously infected you will take it out).Good luck!
My mum won't let me get my ears pierced?
I am currently 13, and I want to get my ears pierced, but is this age too young? I asked my mum and she said NO WAY until you are 18. My mum has her ears pierced, and most of my friends and classmates do (I go to a girls school), although just because they have theirs pierced does not mean I need to pierce mine as well. I want my ears pierced for my birthday, because I want to wear pretty, summery earrings during the summer to go with my outfits, now that I am 13, going onto 14. I asked my dad and he said he honestly does not mind, but then he said I need my mum's permission. Is there any way I can help convince her? Her reasons are simply because she thinks they are inappropriate for people my age. So far I have tried extra studying, helping around the house, and walking the dog, making my parents' bed, etc. Unsuccessfully. Anything else I can try? I want to get my ears pierced, but if after weeks of asking my mum's decision is still a no, I will respect that decision and obey it, because she is my mum and I live under her roof. I will not push it any further. And, although how tempting it may be, I will not go with another member of my family (e.g. my aunt) and get them pierced secretly. But for now, if any of you have any more ideas on how to convince my mum, please answer. Thanks in advance :) Xx
My mom wont let me get my ears double pierced!?
I've been through that (I have the strict Salvadorian parents) so I wanted my belly button pierced and double ear pierce when I was 12-13 but my mom said no, maybe when I was 18 :( so I sneaked behind them and did it myself lol but they eventually found out and made me take them out and so they closed. Anyways, you can always find "underground" solutions to your problems (like what I did) running risks (I could of gotten an infection) but it wont turn out, trust me. Dont try and grow up faster than you should, if your mom said no then listen to her, she's only looking out for you. I know you're young and you want to experience things but give yourself time ok? Anyways, so now I'm 20 and I did get my double ear piercings when I turned 18 but after a couple of weeks I got over it and let it close and belly button piercing? never got it and I'm not interested in getting one anymore :) Be a good kid and listen to your mom, trust me
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!
