I'm 14 and I want my belly button pierced. My mom has her done and I want it done to because I like it alot. And want to be like her. But she's says no because to guys it's like a sexy thing and she just wants my to be safe around guys. But I wouldn't do anything with a guy becuase of that or anything. I just want it done becuase I really like it and want to be like her. But she's still saying no. I'm turning 15 in 11 months and she's allowing me to have a boyfriend now which is more worse then having a belly button ring I think but she wont let me get that done. So how can I convince her to let me get it done with out causeing my mom and I to fight more?

I'm your age. Be happy with the boyfriend, and let things settle down. Don't ask for another year or so. I've learned not to push my luck. It's annoying, right? My mom says that I'll thank her later. *rolls eyes*

When I got my belly button pierced, when I was 16 (that was 12 years ago!), I just went and did it...I didn't ask my mom. Back then it was just beginning to become popular and I was the first of all my friends to have anything on my body pierced. My mom saw it after I'd had it for 3 months and she freaked at first, but then she eventually got used to it and even said it looked cute. I think you SHOULDN'T do that...you definitely need a parent with you and aware that you're getting it done (just in case it gets infected or something goes wrong).
But also, I think your mom's arguement against a belly piercing is weak.
You should maybe tell her you'd like to speak with her about it and do so in a mature manner. List off all the reasons why you want one, and all the reasons why you think you're mature enough to have one. Don't use the debate "But YOU have one!" because there is a WORLD of difference between an adult woman getting one and a teenage girl getting one. Instead, point out that you think it's CUTE and fun and it's a way to express yourself! Belly piercings are not just a sexual thing...they're a way of adorning your body to your liking. I got mine done because *I* wanted it and because I'm into piercings and tats.
Perhaps you could also try to bargain with her? Maybe ask if you could get it done in a few months or if you get all good grades, etc.
Good Luck!

I think that if you have really tried I would lay off of it for a few weeks and ask again. I can understand, because my belly button is pierced and I have allowed my child who was 14 at the time get hers done also. I've had mine done for 4 or 5 yrs. Maybe in time she will allow you to get it done. But try to respect her wishes and be polite you could always just remind her that you are still interested.

I'm 13, turning 14 in Feb. I got mine done Nov. 10th. My mom thought it was a bad idea, but once I told her that I never wanted to get it done to be cool or anything like that. I really wanted it done for me. It really improves your confidence and everything. Once I explained to my mom that this wasn't for anyone but me, she concidered, and a week later, it was done. She obviously feels that you're not ready to take on the responsibility that comes with it- by which I mean, she thinks that you may feel obligated to show guys and get guys attracted to it and get the wrong ideas about you. She's just trying to take care of yah;)

well a boyfriend is easier to get rid of than a piercing.. and I would just respect her wishes. you have your whole life to pierce yourself up so why the rush? i didn't get my toungue pierced until I was like 20, and then i got my first tattoo when I was 23. So just respect your mom because you need to get a consent form anyway, and don't sneak and do it because she'll find out anyways. Don't keep on forcing the issue because it will make it worse... So just drop it and mayne wait until your 16 to ask...

Wait a while. Don't do anything with your bf that would cause her not to trust you. Once she sees that you are trustworthy with relationships with boys, she will probably relent.
Believe me, your relationship with your mom is far more important than a hole in your bellybutton with a ring or stud sticking out of it.

I got my belly button pierced when I was 16. It looks so bad now from the way it healed after. Please don't do it. My belly button now has 2 black dots on it and it looks bad. It's not as great as it seems.
