Answer 1

your daddy wants you to stay a little girl.
your mom didn't think you could save enough money.
now your mom and dad have had time to discuss the issue at hand and your mom gave in for some reason.

as a parent, you choose your battles (wisely, hopefully).

ear piercing is easy to heal over without much scarring. a belly ring, however takes a chunk of skin out (mom probably figured this out AFTER saying yes at first) and doesn't heal without a huge scar.

wait 'til your 18 and can vote

Answer 2

It isn't a matter of whether you can or cannot; it's a matter of whether you should or should not--and you should not.
It's already obvious your parents were at one time divided on the subject, but now they've agreed on denying you permission in getting the belly button piercing.
Tell you what, you can continue bringing up the topic to them, and hope that they will allow you to get a navel piercing, but chances are they won't, so follow their wishes until you're 18. Who knows, maybe by then you won't even want a navel piercing anymore, or maybe you will, but you'll be more appreciative of it because you waited.

Answer 3

Do a little research, make sure you know all the possible things that can to wrong, infection, tearing, body rejecting the navel ring. My friends earlobes are split cause the ear ring tore open her piercing. Another developed a high fever and didn't realize her piercing had gotten infected.

Answer 4

My advise is just liek everyone elses. Don't do it. I pierced mine when I was 18 and the infatuation didn't last very long. It can get infected and after a while either you'll grow out of that and want to pierce every inch of your body, which is gross too, or you'll see that you wasted your time and money because it's not really that cool at all... unless you want to look like a slutty whore anyway, then you should totally do it.

Answer 5

I want a cartilage piercing in my ear, but my mom won't let me do it because she says, "It's going to hurt a lot." It's not even her body. It's mine. I would do it if I had the chance, but I can't drive and have almost no time. For my friends, they've pierced their navels or their ears when their parents told them not to. They tried hiding it, but when their parents found out, they didn't really care much. So I think it'll be okay for you.

Answer 6

Navel piercings can get infected more than a lot of other piercings including tongue. Your mom probably didn't expect you to save the money, and now she needs an out.

You're younger I'm assuming since you need permission, so I suggest staying on their good side. Buy a clip one you can remove, wear it for 6 months to prove to them you want it, will take care of it, and haven't changed your mind.

Answer 7

Well I'm not really all to sure because I don't know how old you are but I have mine pierced and I can't imagine my belly without it, when I take it out it looks so strange, But anyways I kinda was in the same sort of situation except with my tongue. My parents let my get my belly button done when I was 16 and a tattoo when I was 17 with the promise I wouldn't get anymore piercings or tattoos.{But of coarse that didn't fly well with me} I ended up piercing my tongue anyways BUT I was also 18 by then and even though I hid it and didn't want them to know I still knew I was 18 and they couldn't do anything about it. Even though it was disrespectful because I still lived under their roof. I was most scared about my dad finding out, thinking he's be the first to notice. But low and behold my lil bro noticed first and I swore him to secrecy than my mom noticed who said she wasn't gonna purposely get my dad mad but of coarse my tattle tail brother who figured since my mom already knew he couldn't wait to run and tell daddy. Even though I hid it for a month they still found out and your parents will too. And after that they stopped trusting me and actually started checking places where they knew i wanted a tattoo. So it's totally up to you hun, it's your body and your consequences. If you want one I would recommend it but that's your choice if you wanna go against your parents. Hope I helped, Good Luck!

Answer 8

if ur at least 14, and have at least 1 parent who approves than i dont see y not. Most gurls i no have already gotten theres done so i figure y not? U just need 1 parents approval incase somthin happens like infection or sum of that stuff. No offense to fat chicks but if u really have a belly u shouldnt get a belly ring. Just sayin cuz i have no idea who u r.

Answer 9

think about u r reason for actually want it. is it worth acting against your parents for? do you think that the piercing is essential 4 u to live? what about when u get to older would you still want a navel piercing?

Answer 10

No. They often become infected. AND if you still have to worry about your parents influence, then you are too young. You should not get any body modifications untill you are old enough to live with the scars. I speak from regretfull experiance.
