Listen to the piercer. I'm assuming this was a licensed piercer.....

Also, it was a bad idea to get a piercing without your parent's permission, which sorta indicates that this piercer was not the best one, since he did it without your parents knowing, as you are a minor...I assume.

Also, how do they not know...It's sorta hard to hide..

if its a bar bell, it's prbably just a larger gage than a regular piercing. SO, this piercing knowing that you are under age, still does the peircing without your parent's consent? And why are you hiding it if they won't care? And if they wouldn't care then why not just get their permission?

If its the same gage then yes...the piercer should have told you what gage he was using. Better yet, he should have asked...

You just said that they wouldn't care. Doing things like this behind your parent's backs is cause for them not to trust you.

It probably is a 16 gage, but asking is still a good idea.

I never said that you weren't a good person. I'm sure you are. I'm just saying that doing something like this behind your parent's backs can cause their trust in you to be questioned.

"Should we really trust her to go to the mall alone with our credit card? Should we trust her to spend only the amount we approved? Well, I don't know, she DID get that piercing without our permission. What else might she do without our permission?"

Do you see where this could affect their trust in you?

Try Hot Topic or Spencers or there are usually kiosiks in the mall that have jewelry for them...Claires in the mall.....The mall is the best place, as there are so many places in there that would have them....try looking for sergical steel. And don't change it until the approved time.
