Question

okay well i'm sixteen going on seventeen in january and want to get this done. my parents wont let me. i want to do it on my own....whats the safest way to do it? if you get it done somewhere like claires or something do you need a permission from your parents

can you tell you have it pierced when you take it off?

im actually not a bad girl. i get good grade and always look classy and not trashy and i wear clothes thats appropriate for my age and never plan on getting tattoos or piercing (besides my upper ear and my earlobe) i just want to do that one part.

Answer 1

dont pierce it at home because you will get a really really big bump on the back of it, but if you get it done at the right angle you cant see the bump

Answer 2

Ear piercing on Guys don't always look gay my husband has plugs and I love the way he looks but on the other hand not ever guy looks good with pierced ears. Yes you can get a job with pierced ears, if they didn't hire you just because you had pierced ears that falls under discrimination. Do to the fact that A LOT of men have tattoo's and pierced ears now it days. The most that would happen went it comes to a job is that they would tell you that you would have to remove the earring's during YOUR scheduled working hours then you can put them back on after work. We don't live in the olden days anymore.

Answer 3

Ask your parents why they won't let you do it. Try and explain to them that you have no further plans of getting more piercings or tattoos. Maybe they will agree then. If they still don't, please remember that you're still a minor and shouldn't go against their will. And yes you can tell it's been pierced even if you remove your earrings. And there is always the risk to get an infection... and that is painful..... Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I believe Piercing Pagada allows for it. I got mine done there. But that was about 5 years ago too. And you need to keep the earring in for about six months. But to answer that if you take out the earring can you tell that it was peiced. the answer is no unless you are really looking for it. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Your parents want you to look respectable. You should put yourself in their position, and imagine what you would do if you had a teenaged daughter that you wanted to be successful in life.
They are just trying to be the best parents that they can be. I was a really really bad kid. I didn't see this until I had my own kids. They really only want what is best.
Sometimes parents don't understand too. If you step out of your place, and talk to them like you understand, and just say. I just want this for now. I want to enjoy my teenage years. I can wear it, and look presentable. I am not doing this to rebel against your wishes. I will most likely take it out eventually.

Please take it from me. Instead of getting mad if they say no. It's just an earring. When your older you will thank your parents for things like this.

Answer 6

I really want one too but my mom won't let me. If you do it at Claire's you need someone over 18 with you and they need to have identification. Im guessing it's like that at most places. I guess we just have to wait until we are the legal age. =[

Answer 7

Well tell your parents that I am almost 17 and when i am 17 there will be one more year when i am almost 18 then i will be out the house...And if thats good tell them plz i will do anything to get my ears peirce.

Answer 8

Listen to your parents and wait until you're old enough to make this mistake on your own. You're really going to regret it, especially at job interview time !!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

at claire's and icing they have magnetic earrings. just a suggestion.

Answer 10

why not wait until you are legal adult age, and then it won't cause problems-even if you hide it from them, what if it gets infected??
