Think of it this way. How many years do you have left at home? Your parents are doing what they feel is best for you, as you will one day with your child/children. Remember, you have your whole life in front of you and you have but a few years left under there guidance. Let them enjoy that guidance and try to learn what you can.
Try to maintain a good relationship with you mum AND dad, (dads can be hard to do because we allways see you as little girls, sorry.) You will NOT rgret this step. After all is said and done, all we have is our faith and our relationships. what are three or four years compared to sixty.
If it is to impress another your age, think about who is more important to you in your life, mum, or your friend. You only get one real mum, you know.
When you move out, and it was a grand idea, you will get it donw then. If it was not a grand idea, you will thank mum for it.

It depends on what kind of person she is. Most normal parents would find that kind of fashion abhorrent and if your mum is one of these then you're fighting a lost cause. I know I wouldn't let my kid do it in the future no matter how much sweet-talking I get. Sorry to say this but it's just not compatible with a respectable image.
I'm a bit worried about the bad advice being given here telling you to rebel against your mum. For the moment, your parents are trying to do what's best for you. They've lived life, they have more experience and have a better concept of what your're doing so their opinion should be respected and followed. When you're eighteen and living your own life you will also have the privilege to do what you want.
It depends on what kind of person you are too. I know there is a minority of people that like that kind of look but if you want to look attractive to the majority then I'm afraid lip piercing is a big turn-off.

Don't do it!!!!
I have had many piercing including my lip but I have now taken most of them out including my lip- it really is a passing phase.
I have a large hole under my lip which hasn't and I don't think it will ever disappear.
Please be aware that I took the piercing out 7 years ago after having kept it in for maybe two years.
Its not worth it , get your nipple or belly button pierced instead, these are both lovely but at least you can cover them when you need to
DON'T DO IT

You don't. You wait til you're a bit older, and see if you still want it done.
I got my lip pierced when I was 16. I'm now 18, I took it out after three months because I changed my mind and the scar is still highly visible.
t's not what you want to hear, I know. But I've been there, and trust me; if your mother doesn't want you to get it done, there's a mighty good reason.
Wait it out. If you still want it with the same passion by the New Year, ask your mother again.

Explain to your mum that lip piercing is not any more permanant than ear piercing.
One of these days you will want to move on past this phase, or look.
When you get older you may have a scar.

Well, tell her you are mature enough to get one and take care of it. Only downside is if you need to find a job, you'll have to take out the jewelry for 90% of employers.
Chances are you'll end up doing it behind her back and pissing her off. You might have to wait and if you wait long enough you might never do it. It's a touchy thing, but once you are of legal age for piercings, she can't really stop you ;-)

Talk to her explain that you want it done. But if she says no dont take to heart shes just concerned for you. So maybe get her a leaflet or some info on it so she can read up on the whatever the pros maybe and what the cons are but remember you have to of legal age to have it done.

I would go with the non-permanent angle, you could threaten a really visible tattoo as your opening gambit and be dead set on getting that done...and then accept the piercing as a climb down position. Shock and awe tactics... but I wouldn't be so keen on the infections - yeeeech

Just be really good and do extra stuff around the house. Also tell her that you will pay for it yourself and that you will take care of it. You could also tell her that there is nothing wrong with getting it pierced and that lots of people have it pierced.

Piercings are like tats, peeps either like them or they don't.
There are some parents out there that feel no big deal, if one of my kids wants one, it is there body.
Talk to your mother, no yelling, no whining. Talk mature to her. Remind her it is your body. Get facts behind you. Show her this documentation.
You might want to get more then one copy of the documentation and lay them around the house. Just to get her ready for your talk.
Good luck!
Otherwise wait till you are 18 (this is our age for this type of thing).
