I need a reason.

I agree with Logon,, and the rest of the Moms that posted,.

my friend got her tongue pirced and she has a lips with it now. and.. shes always fiddling with the thing in her tongue. it drives me up the wall.. and it looks like it bothers her,, and its hard to look her in the eye when shes biting the thing in her tongue. LOL what do you want people to look at,, your dumb tongue,, or you?

I am 15 and have my nose peirced.
My mom took me to get it done- she does not mind it, I think she wants me to get all of this "rebelious" stuff out of me. And no, she's not the "crazy" type of mom, she's a kindergarten teacher, infact. She likes letting us express ourselves, for example: I was kidding around, and told her I wanted bright pink highlights this summer. She made a face, but said "ehh, I guess if that is what you really wanted."

I love my mom!

Oh yes, I got my nose peirced last year when I was 14

Being a mom...I say ALL your mom's reasons are valid

[lizzielou742]

I waited until I was 19 to get my eyebrow pierced. I did it on spring break while I was in college. It was a very thin, small, gold ring. I thought it was pretty...for about a month. Then I took it out. I let it heal over. Luckily, I don't have a visible scar - I do have a very tiny scar, but it's hidden behind my eyebrow. My best friend went off and got her tongue pierced at 16 against her parent's wishes, and practically incurred the wrath of God from her stepdad. He made her take it out, of course. So it was totally not worth it in the end. She ended up getting it redone when she turned 18.

Anyway, I hate to say it, but I see your mom's points. Basically all you can do is ask nicely at what age you will be allowed to get it done. Then count down the days until you can do it with her permission. There's no point in doing it without, since you can't really hide a nose ring, and fighting with her about it will only drive her crazy and get her ticked off at you. She's probably just trying to make you wait for a year or two to make sure it's what you really want to do. Hang in there!

Sorry, but I agree with your mom. My son is not getting ANYthing pierced, except his ear which he already has done, until he is eighteen years old. Period. No piercings, no tatoos. Sorry. I'm not a prude, I'm not a totally uncool mom ... but those are NOT things he is doing as a minor living in my house under my rules. When he is an adult, he can do whatever he wants to.

I agree with your mom too. I wanted to get more holes in my ears when I was 14. The answer was NO.. plain and simple. I'm 24 now, and I went and had some new peircings last year.

I was SO happy with the results - because it had taken me 10yrs, I knew that after all that time, and I still wanted them, it was really something I wanted to do for me, and not because of a fad or fashion trend.

If you really like it, then wait, and you will still like it in a few years from now

I'm allowed to get a peircing anywhere other than my face. Her reason: "You have such a nice face." I got my ears peirced when I was four. And I can get a tattoo. But I can't pierce my face. Which is lame, because those are the only piercings I want. Does she want me to come home with pierced nipples or something??? And JUST because of this, the minute I move out, I'm getting EVERYTHING on my face pierced. I've waited long enough, now I want it ALL done.

If it was my kid, I'd totally let them do it. It's their face; as long as they aren't hurting themselves (the bad kind of self-mutilation), I don't see why they shouldn't be able to get a piercing. There are few health risks...and once you get a piercing out of your system, your less likely to do everything after you move out...

Drive down to Vancouver and we'll go get pierced together. The day I move out, I'm getting my venoms (double sided tongue). I won't even wait until I'm done unpacking LOL.

Oops.. i mean Logan :0

I'm not sure.. I'm gonna go down to the shop and get my lip pierced with a labret stud so I'll know in a few weeks. The place I go to charges $30 for the piercing fee ($45 if you get two done) and then the cost of the jewelry (probably $30-$40).

kind of off-topic, but Ashley, how many holes in your head will you have after you get the next two? and I love your new sig.

Lol Thanks.

Right now, I have my lip, eyebrow, tragus, helix (cartilage), and six lobe piercings (stretching the first holes just a bit). So right now, I have ten. I had my septum done a while ago.. but the apprentice did a horrible job. I'm planning on getting two tragus piercings (side by side), another two lip piercings, an industrial helix (I guess it could count as two piercings), at least two more helixes, a nostril, septum and a couple others. I've thought about getting a smiley and a tongue web piercing but I'm still thinking about it. So, I'll have about 22 before I get my tongue pierced. They're addicting! I've thought of a design for a tattoo but I'm going to wait until I'm way older.

[flamepony12]

OMG! did they hurt? I'm such a pain woos >.<
