Question

i want to get an industrial piercing, they wont let me, havnt askd yet, but living with them my whole life, i know.... i have three holes. cartalige, and just the singles. i want industrial. how do i work some magic?

Answer 1

work for it or be very convincing in the way u approach it and speak.

Answer 2

These things are mostly emotional so appealing to logic and rationality doesn't really work. Your parents presumably will say "no" because they don't want to have piercings and therefore you shouldn't. This is poor logic. They are imposing their emotional reactions on you. So start by asking them. When they say "no", ask for reasons. Then ask if the reasons they give reflect their feelings on the subject. In other words, how do they feel about piercings in general and specifically, how many, where and what kind do they consider acceptable? Then ask them to give you an emotional map of what it is they feel you should be feeling, how you should react to the world, what personal standards they believe are best for you. Along the way ask them if they believe they have prepared you for life, given you sufficient guidance and wisdom to make your own choices? If they answer that they have, then why won't they permit you to make these decisions? If they answer they haven't, then why have they been wasting all this time since you were born? Either way, they are put over the barrel. Probably won't change their mind but may make them think a bit and may get you a little more rope. Good luck.

Answer 3

Wish I knew how old you are, it would help answer your question. It sounds as if your parents set standards and you know what they are....they did a good job. I would suggest you sit down and quietly talk to them in a mature way. Explain what it is that you would like to do, how it would look, etc. If they say no, again be mature and don't argue with them. Show that you can respect their wishes so that when something else comes along you may have proved you are growing up (grown up).

Answer 4

Coming from a parent, you need to be acting responsible mature and having open communication. If you talk a lot with your parents you can bring up a verity of subjects. You could even ask them about a time when they were young how did they approach there parents about something they wanted to do. You have to get creative .

Answer 5

thats a tough one. I know what id do, but that isnt necessarily the right thing. I would get it done anyway before telling them,cause once its done ,its done. They will have to let you be you or else youll end up hiding everything from them. Its really your call but i think if they love you and respect you as a person, not just their little girl, then they would get used to it. A very small price to pay to keep their daughter in their lives. Good luck!! Alanna

Answer 6

Speaking as a parent, I can tell you that I wouldn’t let my child get one, no matter what they said. But, I’m not YOUR parent, so maybe you can convince them (but I can’t offer suggestions on how to do that). If they say ‘no’, then you’ll have to wait until you’re 18.

Answer 7

wait till you move out and you can do whatever the hell you want weather they like it or not. dont do major body modification just to fit in and be like the rest of the crowd. if everyone gets their tounge pierced, how does that make you any different?

Answer 8

You don't need magic. Just respect your parents and when you are old en ought to make your own decisions, you will more than likely be glad you waited. Good luck.

Answer 9

Try to make a deal with them. Tell them you will do. . . .(something unbelievable to them on the good side of their views) if they will let you . . . .and only if you do. .. . Or just hold em at gun point and ask. j/k

Answer 10

Wait until you move out, then you can make your own decisions. It's sad that you are trying to be manipulative with your own parents.
