How to convince parents to get industrial piercing

Asked Jun 22, 2007, 08:21 PM — 29 Answers
Well ever since my friend convinced me to get the industrial piercing, ITS BEEN ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT. Its driving me crazy and my friend is supposed to get it next month. I'm supposed to go with her. When I first asked my mom she said she would think about it(and I know her, it was more like a yes and not just because that's what I wanted the answer to be) then one day I showed it to her at the mall and she asked me if I really wanted it? And that it was ugly. Then another day I showed her another one and I had been so excited about it and she flat out said no . I was in complete shock and now I'm obsessed with it. . I already tried asking her and said its just on my ear and that I'm a good student but I don't know what else to say! Please help me come up with a good exuse I already know all the risks and I know that I am allowed to get it underage in my state as long as I have permission from my mom. I'm 16

Your Mom said no. She is responsible for you. If there were any consequences to this piercing, she would have to take care of that. I have seen pics of industrial piercings and I am on your Mom's side with this. No minor child of mine would get one either. If he or she would want one that bad, he or she can get one when they are out of the house and paying their own bills. Maybe this won't seem so attractive in a few years.

Hello.

Im sure your Mom has a good reason for saying no. As you said she thought about it and didn't say no until she checked into it. If its something you really want then give it some time and show her that your not just wanting it because your friend has it.

Remember your asking your Mom to trust you and treat you like an adult so don't blow it and act like a child because she said no.

Good Luck

If your mom sαys no then you hαve α slim to none chαnce of doing it-- your most likely obsessed with it becαuse you cαn't hαve it. If your 13 then I cαn see where she's going by sαying no... Whαt is the αge of mαjority? 18?...

Btw I hope you hαven't toyed with the thought to forge her signαture- it's illegαl αnd you'll get into α hell of α lot of trouble with the mommα... Or if you find someone who does it illegαlly then you know it's not sαfe-- there αre diseαses out there like Hepαtitis.. Wαit till your older αnd do your reseαrch before you get it done in the future..

Honey I just got mine done last week. They rip through your ear with a hollow needle in 2 parts of your ear. It hurts really bad. Then they rip through it again to put the earring in, which also hurts really bad. I have my tongue, eyebrow and nipple pierced, and the Industrial would have brought me to tears if I wasn't so shocked that it actually hurt, since I have a very high tolerance for pain.

K well I have no tolerance for pain! I'm seriouly telling you my biggest fear just might be needles but I honestly don't care because I really want one! Lol and I'm a sissy when it comes to these things I just know there's a way I can convince my mom.

If your mom said no then she probably won't budge. I wouldn't keep bugging her either because its just going to make her mad. And you say you have no tolerance for pain now, but just wait until you actually get it. It hurts. Just wait until you're 18, that's what I had to do because my mom wouldn't let me have piercings either. When you're 18 you're an adult and can do whatever you want

I was really excited before because I thought she had said yes but I just don't want to wait. I know my mom is always right and I always listen to what she says because I like having a good relationship with her but this is just a peircing on my ear! Don't you think she's exaggerating a bit? I've asked for one on my lip before and she said no and I can understand that but not this. And what do you mean by a hollow needle...how big?

Its a 14 gauge hollow needle. Hollow meaning its hollow on the inside of it so it can take a chunk out of your ear. They don't do that piercing with a gun, they use the same thing the use to pierce someone's tongue. I would say she exagerating but not in this case because this piercing his highly prone to infection and takes about a year to heal fully.
