How do I convince my parents to let me get piercings?

Ok im 14 and I really want a belly button ring. I've asked my parents if I could get one when I turned 16 and they said hell no! I want one for either my fiftenth or sixthenth birthday. what do you think is a good age to have one and how can I convince my parents into letting me get one?

ps. my parents are very stict so advice from a parent or a person that has had this situation wouldbe nice!!!

yeah 15 is good!!

I just peirced my lil sisters bellybutton she turned 14 on the 28th and I got mine when I was 16.theres no right age its if your ready...oh and at the risk of being yelled at by other people here...your parents cant stop what they cant see.

im 16.
I had my belly button pierced when I was 14 after like 4 years of nagging my parents.
I ripped it out after around 1 month from playin sport.
I then had it pierced again behind my parents back even though the doctor told me not to.
I've not got a dark circle scar just above my belly button where my ring should be.
dont do it.

do it just dont be stupid if you going to play a rough sport place tape over it ot put in a small peircing that wont catch unto anything.

I've heard that placing a moist tea bag on the spots will slowly fade them.

I've had mine since I was 9 or 10 and there pretty cool I would say get one at 16 cause that way its easier to hide. and you wont have to hide it as long..

you should wait till your 16.
thats the legal age to go into a peircing shop and get it done without your parents consent.
also your body is still growing.
the younger you get it done, the more it will grow out as you age a few years.
so by the time your like 16 itll be half way out because your body grew.
so wait a bit more

Im 14 and I've been asking for my belly button pierced for a year now. I finally got my mom to say yes. But there were conditions. Try to make a compromise with her. I also did a lot of reasearch on the interet for it too. Then I showed her it and it proved that I was serious about it and I could take care of it. She said if I get good grades and I don't get into any more fights at school I can have it done. If I pay for it.

Hope that helps.
Message me if you want and tell me how it goes.
