How to convince my mom to let me get a belly button ring?

I really want my belly button peirced but I dont know how to get my mum to let me have it done, also does it hurt and what are the bad things about it? please tell me I really want it done!

thats up to her dear

im not sure how you can convince your mom but I have mine pierced and it hurt really bad. I think it depends on where you get it done though, because I know osmeone else who said they numbed her so she didnt even feel it. I got mine done at a tattoo parlor. you have to clean it really good for a while, and while its healing its real sensitive and if you hit it on somehting it hurts like hell. but if you keep it cleaned and everything then it should be fine

If your mom won't let you get a belly button ring, then she probably has a really good reason.
Parents an get on your nerves A LOT. But they just have your best interest at heart. Wait until you're 18 and then it's legal for you to get a belly button ring.
Until then, you kind of HAVE to wait. Unless you have your mom's permission, you can't get one.

I have to same problem but here is my answer: surf the web and find out some stuff about belly peircing and tell her some benefits(good parts of the situation).And she will loosen up.And if any of your friends have one, maybe you could have your friends parents convince your parents what it is like.

GOOD LUCK!!!

im tryign to get my mom to let me get it done too. she keeps saying absolutely not. but if you reasurch it and tell her that you know how to take care of it and all that stuff she might let you. if not then tell her that most girls pierce theres at home and that most of those dont end up good and that your smarter than that so thats why you are askign her but if she doesnt say yes you will do it yourself ( dont because girls have died from it ) but that you would like her to be a part of it and its a cute new trend that everyones doing and you dont want to feel left out. plus cry a little bit so she feels bad. (: hope that helped
oh im 14 I don't know how old you are but my mom is really stubborn and this is starting to work on her.

Yeh I want mine done too! Like so bad, so I am searching things on the computer etc and I came across this letter thing I didn't write it but it sounds good, so I am going to give it a shot, maybe you should to. Here is the letter, It makes you sound mature and stuff:

There are many reasons why I believe I should be able to have the right to do what I want with my body to some extent. I am not asking for a large tattoo on my arm or a nose ring. I am asking for a belly button piercing that will rarely be shown to the public. I guess right now you are probably asking Why would she want one if the majority of the people won't ever see it? To plainly put it, I believe it is a fashion statement and an expression of my individuality. I understand that it is harder for the older generation to comprehend piercings in locations other than the ears. But looking back through history it is obvious that culture has changed significantly since the early and mid 1900s. Society is ever-changing. Twenty to thirty years ago the idea of piercing ones navel was unthinkable, but as those that decided to rebel against society emerged, new fads and styles were developed. In today's culture it is much more common to practice body modification in not only the ears but also the nose, belly button, tongue, eyebrows...Etc. I hope you recognize my maturity in writing this short paragraph and I hope that now you see my opinion on this subject. And if it provides any comfort I'm not planning to get one until my birthday because even I believe that a belly button piercing at this age is somewhat rushing things. All I'm asking is for you to reconsider your opinions on the matter.

lmao
my mom said no
but I went out
and got it done at a tattoo parlar
anyways
she was mad 4 about 2 days then got over it
and then she realized she cant change anything
it was worth it
if your not 16 then you need your parent
so if your not just wait an get it done
they cant do anythin after its been done

it does not hurt seriously. I got my cartilage and belly done in the same day they were both done in 10 minutes. I was in screaming pain a few day safter because my cartilage swole up so badly. I've had them both for about 2 months now, id get it done babe it is so cute when you can change it !

I want my belly button done im 13 and I am triing to persuade my mum and I think she is taking into cinsideration that its my body and my dad is taking me next week to have it done hope it doesnt hurt tuu much

I got my belly button pierced at 14, under no condition. It dosen't hurt, and stop nagging your mum bout it, trust me shes a lot more likely to say yes if you stop asking her or if you only ask her once a month. And don't go behind your mothers back, imagine how hurt she'd be. These were the rules I stuck by so that I could get my belly button pierced.

1. Researched information, safety on were to get it pierced.
2. Stopped asking for a while, just talked bout it a little with my cousins and brothers and got their opinions on it.
3. Made sure knew what was doing by going to the surgery and asking bout them. ( This is really a point thats hard, since some people advise against it, but luckly the woman we saw said she had her belly button pierced, and even gave us the name of the place where she went, it was nice and sterile, with an experienced piercer, it hurts like hell if its an enexperienced piercer.
4. Go to the parlour (avoid tattoo parlours, since parents are more likely to say no and your more likely to infection, if you get an infection she'll never let you get anything else pierced, so keep it clean and pick a place that speciallizes in body piercings, avoid scary looking places cause she'll say no) speak to the piercer before hand, so your mum feels at ease.
5. Give her a few days to think bout it and there is a 75% chance she'll be more comfortable with it the next time you ask her.

P.S My mum bought the piercingh for me cause she caved before I got it pierced but she was still wary. My dad knew I wanted one but we didn't tell him I was getting it pierced, he was mad for a while, but then calmed down. Cause seriously mums understand more about the means of a piercing to a gril then dads do.
