belly piercing. need to convince the mother.

Explain to her the truth about piercing. Let her know that they’re simply forms of body art and self expression. Guys AND girls can get ANY piercing they want to. They don’t make you any more or less attractive than you already are. There will be no problem for you getting a job either. Plenty of places hire people with piercings/tattoos whether they’re visible or not. They don’t make you look skanky/slutty or anything along those lines. They have nothing to do with your sexual orientation or what kind of person you are. As long as you have them done professionally and take care of them properly, they’ll turn out just fine and you won’t have any issues with them. Infection won’t be a problem unless you either don’t have it done professional or you don’t take care of it. If you’d ever decide you didn’t want it any more later on in life, simply take the jewelry out and never put it back in. The hole will close up over time and the scar won’t be noticeable. If she still makes a big deal over it, maybe try asking again in a few days/weeks. If she STILL keeps saying no about it, then wait until your 18 so you can have it done without her consent.
