okay so heres the deal, im 14 and my mom let me get my belly button pierced 2 years ago... i personally think piercings are a good way to express your self.. i would like a tongue piercing and a tatoo maybe a nose piercing just a stud tho... i will wait until im older for my nose n my tatoo but right now im asking my mom if i can get my tongue she said she will think about it but she really doesnt want to let me do it.. she said i dont want to feel like im putting a whole thru my own daughter even tho its my choice n i want it... does any one have any suggestions to convince my mom?? =)

just going and getting it done isn't a good idea. I'm a middle school youth pastor and my 14 year old girls change their mind as often as the wind changes. Tattoos and piercings are a commitment. I'm married and a youth pastor but I also have 3 tattoos and do plan on more. But for each one of my tattoos I thought about the design for at least a year and I consulted my husband before I got my last one. At least with a tongue piercing you can take it out but they don't always heal. My older brother can still stick things through his tongue and he took out his piercing over 5 years ago. Please just think about it. Make a deal with your Mom. If you still want to do it when you're 16 then ask her to take you. Take the time to talk to your Mom and let her tell you why she doesn't want you to do it. Make sure she knows you're considering her opinion. Honesty is best and maybe the two of you can compromise.

Being a dad of four it would hurt me very bad if one of my children came home with a tongue ring and then said well I have it can i keep it. That is not a puppy you are talking about getting you are changing your looks altogether. What if something goes wrong. It could happen. Respect your parents decision. I have told my children that they can not have these in my house. And that is the end of the discussion.

hey im 14 too and i also want my nose pierced but my mom is so dumb! its my body and i can do wat i want with it! its not like its permanent i can take it out whenever i want and she's not the boss of my body. she's not letting me express my individuality and not letting me be who i wanna be i tried to tell her that there are worse things i could want its not like im smoking pot or gettin pregnant.she wants me to wait till im 15! y wait? its not fair!!! so yea i just wanted to tell u i feel ur pain

You only have to wait one year. Be patient. I've been wanting to get a tattoo since I was like 11. And my dad said I'll get one when I turn 16. And now I just have to wait a couple of more months.
