Pain is relative and varies greatly from person to person. Its a piercing, so I can assure you that you'll feel something, but its probably not going to be nearly as bad as you think.
Getting parents permission is hard to do, if not impossible. You can try methods or bargaining (I'll do all my chores, do better in school, give up this...if I can get the piercing). Even try to educate your parents about piercings and assure them you are going to take care of the piercing, but that you aren't going to change who you are because of it.

Hopefully it will help them with any concerns they have.
The bottom line is that you want to come across as being responsible and mature. If they say no, leave it at that. No does mean no and going behind their back and getting the piercing anyway does not show that you are mature, just disrespectful.
Another thing to keep in mind is depending on your age, you might have to wait to get the piercing anyway. Some states allow the piercing of minors 15+ as long as there is parental consent, but other states do not allow minors to be modded, not questions asked. Call local tattoo/piercing shops and ask about their policy on minors and the states rules on it. Good luck.

Obviously, you can't hid that from your parents unless you don't wear a bikini or short tops around them or they will find out and probably be upset that you lied, so to those people that said don't tell them, I don't think that is such a great idea... your best bet on selling your rents on the piercing??? Do your homework! Find out how much it costs, the pros and cons of getting it done, and tell them that why you want to get it, and why it is so important to you. If they care about you they will at least listen to you before saying no. I believe piercing any part of your body will hurt, but if you really want it, the pain will be worth it. Good luck and happy piercing!

i'm getting my belly button pierced too but i have to do it secretly cuz my parents will never let me get my button pierced..just get a "parent" to pretend to be yours...it hurts a little from what my friend told me but remember to clean it every day cuz u don't want it to get infected. Also be careful if you play sports with it cuz hers almost got pulled right off of her skin when she was playing lacrose..

Well, most tattoo shops will do it if you 17. It only hurt alittle because I paid for my wife to have it done and it is honestly beautiful. It's so sharp that really all you feel is pressure and then it hurts when it heals. Tell them it's for self gradification and that you'll most likely do anyways and would like them to participate in it. It might help!

to pierce any part of the body hurts...but it depends on you if you can handle it. if you do get it pierced make sure you take care of it like keeping it clean so you wont get infection.
not sure how to advise you to get your parents approval.

No you ask an adult anyone near the tatoo place if they could pretend to be your gardian and then you can get your piercing.
as far as pain goes it's only temporary. nothing major.
