    I say don't tell her at first,go get it done and eventually tell her she will not make you take it out,it is a personal thing

    First of all to get your tongue peirced you would want a bar not a ring as a ring would require it to be near the edge of your tongue and that would annoy the hell out of you knocking against your teeth when you talk lol secondly its hard enough to convince your parents that you need something that is actually good for you let alone convincing her to let you mutilate your body Im not against peircing I have some but I think you may just have to wait till your old enough you don't have to ask her and if your not even that old that you can't get one done by lying about your age then perhaps you should wait anyway and don't believe your friends IT DOES HURT take care

    Well, I have to tell you how I managed to get my mom to let me get my tongue pierced. I was down in Huntington Beach California with my family on vacation and we passed by this body piercing shop and there was a flower store nearby. I went in and bought my mom a dozen roses and she was so touched that when I asked if we could just check out the piercing shop she actually let me get it pierced. It was Tommy T's Body Piercing and the piercing didn't even hurt. I was surprised that my little trick worked so do something extra nice for your mom and she just might say yes!

    There's a reason your mom won't let you get your tongue pierced. And it's a good reason.

    I'm tryng to convince my mom too to get mine done so what I'm doing is making lists and reasons I want it and why she should let me get it but also why she wouldn't like it.. so its like a pros and cons thing. I also got images of retainers so I can change it for sports. And how it can be flat and doesn't have to be a ball, or it can be a small clear one. My best advice is to sit down with your parents and talk about it, state your case but if they say no don't get it behind there back it will not only put you on bad terms and they may not trust you again that's why I'm not going to do that because I love my parents, and don't push them because that can put you on bad terms too, I pushed for my nose piercing and that put me and mom on somewhat shakey terms for awhile even after she took me get it.

    So good luck :]

    It took me a little while to convince my dad to let me get mine done but I said to him that at the end of the day it is my body and I can do with it what I wish. I told him that I'd pay for it, I'd deal with the consequenses if problems arose at school or something and if it got infected then I wasn't allowed any more piercings until I was 18 or out of the house. Just try and prove to them that you can look after it.. make sure they know you're responsible! Just help around the house, get on each others good sides and they don't really have a reason to say no! Good luck!

    Don't tell her at first and go get it done then wait for about 1 week and then show her she will not make you take it out and if you don't want to tell her you can stay away from her as much as posible till it gets good and heeled but that is your desishon not mine

    People shouldn't be advising that you not tell your parents/gardians until after you already have it cause "she will not make you take it out" may work for your parents but for other parents they may be more strict and may flip out. So I'd advise that you make a pro's and con's list and hold yourself as a resonsible adult and tell them that you will face the consequences of your actions

    First of all, don't go behind your parents back . That would just make them mad . I want one too . I am going to take my mom to a restaurant and hand her a list of Pros &'d Cons . If all else fails, just wait .

    This is how I did it and it worked :)
    Wait till you are 16 (uk) or whatever age your state allows you to consent for yourself.

    Write up about the peircing you want include:
    How it's done
    What it looks like
    Risks/ cons and provide solutions
    Places that are safe to get it done
    Why you want it.

    When you explain why don't EVER use because my friend has it'. Never works.

    Explain that you are now of age and have waited a while to get it. Say that you don't want to go behind their back at all. Explain how it is your own body and you want them to respect that and respect the fact you are an individual and have different opinions and views.

    Then say that once your tongue is healed, you are willing to wear clear/ retaining bars at places they feel isn't appropriate to have your Tongue bar on display such as a family dinner.

    Ask them to think about it and wait at least a week. Drop it into conversation and ask If they have come to a decision and re state that you are your own person and that you feel the need to be able to make decisions. Let them
    Know that if you regret it you can take the peircing out without any consequences.

    This worked for me when I wanted my tongue venoms (2 tongue peircings)

    If it doesn't work don't cry, scream or whine. It makes you look immature. Just say that you would like them to consider when you could get it or negotiate it as a reward (say for getting a certain grade or passing an exam)

    Good luck :)

    I'm 17 and I'm getting my tongue pierced on the 28 of this month. I wouldn't recommend you or anyone else to lie to their parents or go behind their parents backs and get it. I asked my mom my aunt and my grandmother and after we all talked they agreed that I was responsible enough to get it. The only thing my mother said is that she wanted to be there when I got it. And if they say no just wait because everything happens for a reason :)
