Ok, so here's the deal...
I am 14 years old, and I'll be 15 in November
I currently have 13 holes in my ears [9 in one and 4 in the other-i want to more on the lesser side] thanks to diff people that I have gotten to take me to get them
My dad is set against piercings, but he is 57 years old, and listens to my grandmother like hes still a little kid, and she is VERY old fashioned
I'm his baby girl so I do get away with a lot of stuff and I can convince him of a lot of things, but piercings are not included in that since he doesnt like them
My mother would let me, but she died a few years ago
My parents were very different, and for anything I would ever need or want one of them would be perfect for advice
Now I'm down to half that...and I'm struggling with a lot of stuff
Don't I get a little sneaking leeway because of my position?
I don't even really know why but I want my nose pierced REALLY badly!!
I've wanted it for over a year now, and it's not because of someone else having it, or it's part of the trend or something like that, but I just LOVE the way the little studs look
I want something small anyway
I am definately getting it done, I am very set on that, whether I can convince him or not
But how can I convince him?
and if I can't....
How do I get my nose pierced by myself?

First of all, you cant get your nose pierced by yourself. You need parental consent, otherwise the piercer could get in BIG trouble, and he wont take that risk.

If you're going to try and plead your case, look up some of the pros and cons on the internet and present them to him. Make sure you let him know you are responsible enough to take care of this piercing and not let it get infected. Also let him know that you are trying to express yourself. People express themselves in different ways.

You could also say, "at least i'm not asking for a tongue ring"...lol.

I'm sorry, look up some of the pros and cons of that particular piercing

nauticalstar420

Any piercing can get infected if not taken care of properly. Your nose, believe it or not, isnt the most prone piercing to get infected.

nauticalstar420

Oh definitely. But proper care will prevent that. I've been pierced up and down, and never had an infection in any of my piercings

nauticalstar420

Yeah, but I know how she feels. I always wanted piercings, starting when I was like 11. It never hurts to present your case. My mom never let me have any, so once I turned 18 I got really "piercing happy"..lol.

No one will pierce her underage without consent. They risk loosing way too much. If she has a friend do it for her, she will learn a very valuable lesson on why not to get things like this done in unsterilized environments.

Another tip for the OP, if your dad says no, dont push it! You can do whatever you want once you turn 18, but until then you have to have consent for piercings. The more you push him, the less likely it is that you will get something else you want in the future
