Hi Sexiibabii... Another thing is if your tongue gets infected your mother WILL find out because she will have to take you to the doctor for medication and it hurts a lot, another thing is that is a big risk you are willing to take. Another thing that hurts is the after procedure, your tongue will have a pinching pain for about a week or more and may throb like a heartbeat! Ouch! The other person who said that it is easy to hide this from your parents lied to you!!!!!

First of all you have to eat liquidy, mashy foods for about a week after the procedure.. You will have to because if you try to eat whole foods it will hurt like @$%&@ and you will also talk funny for about a few days... Have you ever seen someone who just got there toungue pierced?? Anyway your mother will most likely find out unless you TOTALLY HIDE FROM HER. I mean you cannot take the balls out for a while after the procedure and it is just hard to do.

Plus.. One quick thing. Like I said it is hard or impossible to hide from your mom and somehow she will find out, probably the same day. Are you willing to go through that much trouble and your mom just to find out because she will. Not only that, but she will make you take out the piercing and then you would have went through the pain and money for NO reason. Plus you will probably get punnished and your mom wont trust you anymore. Then you will have to wait longer to get the piercing, 18 years old when you can do it on your on. Don't pay over $50 just to have the piercing took out and most places will not do it anyway without a parents concent.. If you have someone that you know to pierce you this can cause A LOT of trouble and you will regret it because you can get sick, infected, die or be in a severe amount of pain.

Its hard to convince someone who is set. However what are the benefits of having this..Does it boost your self esteem ? Is it just a fade your going through ? You need to present your presentation. First by telling her, that should the day come and you no longer like it, you wont blame her for allowing you to get it. You must explain the benefits or why you want this.

Exactly, present it like an adult with thought out arguments and reasoning.

It's most likely true that your mom will forgive you if you went behind her back., but you are risking more by doing this. The main one is your moms trust in you, then there's the whole deal about what kind of a piercing parlor would pierce an underage person without the parent present. Dont get me wrong i like tats and piercings, i have my own, just make sure you know what your doing, and ALL the consequences, first.

MOWERMAN2468 agrees: correct, loosing your mom's trust may be hard to regain. and just think, before long you are going to be driving and wanting her to trust you with a vehicle. think this one out.

As hard as it is to understand, respect what she says right now. Look at it this way you only have 4 more years until you are 18, and during that time you should respect the rules that your parents lay down for you. After you are 18 you will have the rest of your life to do anything that you want, if you still want it then. One day you will be glad that you did.

I don't think piercings are that important myself. For the most part I got my cartilage pierced because I was bored, and like the look and was fun to have done also. I am an adult though and make my own decisions, I don't think that I would ever go behind my moms back.. because of fear of what my mom might do. My mom would beat my but, probably If I had ever went behind her back and she would have made me take the piercing out also!! I may have risked it living with my aunt because growing up she was never strict with her own children or me when she sat for me but I also have respect for my aunt also and would not want to risk are relationship over a dump piercing.

MOWERMAN2468 disagrees: bad advice. you are telling a minor to do something against her mother's wishes? not very good advice the way i see it.

Sounds like you have a shopping list of things you want to do...tatoo's and piercing etc etc. Not necessarily a horrible thing. I think it may hold you back by the unfortunate habit people tend to judge a book by its cover. Employers don't like this type of thing much. Everyone expresses themselves daily. Not just during the teen years. Some define themselves by the job they have, the car they drive or the clothes they wear. The difference here is your a minor. Your parents are still responsible for guiding you until you are considered an adult. As a parent I would say NO!. If you wish to have XYZ then wait until your 18. Sounds to me like ...how do I say this...you have a more pliable parent that would give a green light to a belly ring to a girl of your age. So I suppose you will find a way to get what you want somehow. I also know you may regret the decision. If you expect to have the the rights of an adult then I hope you are willing to discuss it with your Mom like an Adult. I see the real damage is to the level of trust and communication problems that are bound to follow. Don't go get a tatoo or something and have a she will get over it attitude. This says you have no respect for your parents...where is your Dad in all this? Is he around? Ask yourself...why do I need this? are you just wanting acceptance by someone? Is that acceptance worth all the risks? Try not to rush into things...Tatoo's are hard to remove. They may be cool in your youth but they can be a reminder of past mistakes as well.

Good Luck!
