Cartiladge piercing?

Question

so heres the thing...I got my second piercing on both ears above the first one in october...I paid for it so my mom was pretty convinced I was ready but she had her doubts.I didn't want to ask her for a cartiladge piercing because I was afraid I would get a lecture but now I really wan't one!!!it is 3 months later and should I ask her?I think ill pay for it again cause its my body (yet the parents have to be there to sign a form and give permission)oh and by the way I am 13 and a half if that helps with anything...

do you now of a way I can convince her?

Answer 1

Sometimes it's good just to remember parents lecture you because they care so very much about you. It may be just a piercing to you but to your mom, you are her little girl(if you have children someday you will know what this means) and Moms don't understand why their perfect little beautiful darlings need to put a hole through their ear. I suggest letting her know you want it, remembering that your mom is kinda growing with you in the experience and she needs to go through her own motions and feelings over it-she knows your growing up. I have a ton of piercings in my ear so I know.. Have fun

OK- A cartilage piercing is much bigger deal than a second piercing in your lobes. I know that I thought I was ready for piercings when I was 13- but now know that I wasn't. Alot of piercings will leave a permanent scar- so make sure you have talked through the option with your mum. Don't just ask her straight out- let her know that you want to 'DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF...' whatever piercing, and explain why you want it. Listen to what she has to say too, that part of the adult decision making process.
