How can I pierce my ears without my mom noticing the earrings the first 6 weeks?

Question

Ok so my mom is being super ***** and so is my dad saying that if I want my ears pierced I have to wait till im 18 and they are sayin if i do get them pierced I can pack my bags cause im moving out but im 15 so i dont really beleive them. Does anyone know how I can keep an earring on for the first 6 weeks without them knowing?
I have short hair and I was wondering if fishing string in the ear would work or any other tricks. Im planning on getting it done this summer for sure. Oh and my mom also said that if i get it done she will sue whoever did it thats how much of a ***** she is being. but i dont beleive 1 second of it.

Answer 1

I wish I had my mom when is was 15. She died when I was 12. There are so many companies out there making cute clip earrings that you shouldn't have a problem with it. You mom obviously care about you and is looking out for what she thinks is best for you. I think she is trying to stress to you how serious she is about this and how much she is against it. If you are defiant and do it withoug her permission, you are only going to make matters worse. If you ask yer to talk to you sensibly and explain her reasons why she is so against this. Listen to what they have to say open mindedly. Then calmly explain your reasons for getting it done. Maybe they have good reasons. If you can rationally assure your parents that their concerns will be understood (maybe you just need to follow some guidelines). However, if they stick to their opinion on this, respect their wishes, be grateful you have parents who love you enough to set you some guidelines, and wait until you are 18. I know it may seem like a long time to wait, but it really isn't. Stick with the clip ons until then. You will get greater respect from your parents if you do honor their wishes, and if you show signs of maturity on this, you may be able to change thier minds....gradually....over time. Doing it this summer for sure will cause you a great deal of grief for the next 3 years I promise you that. Give your mom and dad a hug. I wish I could hug mine.

You don't mention whether you're a boy or girl?

If you're a girl talk with your parents again - maybe they have some hesitations about it (safety, etc). Since you haven't said why they won't let you pierce your ears.

If you are a boy - again talk with them. One question to have prepared is Why do you want to do this?
One of my son's at 15 wanted his ear pierced - I said the same thing to him - wait till you're 18 and if you still feel the same then go ahead (I knew at the time it was just a *fad* sort of with him because his friends had it done) He is now 34 and never did have his ear pierced. Both other boys ages 18 and 20 have no interest.

I read a question on here earlier today about piercing ears and some of the comments from the girls were - the biggest turn off for them was guys with pierced ears.

Again I don't know if you are a boy or girl - but think about the consequences before you go ahead with anything.

Answer 3

The person doing the piercing does need your parent's permission, since you are under 18.

Just wait till you are 18. The kind of deception you are wanting will only worsen the relations with your parents. It will confirm for them that you are not mature or responsible, and you will be in worse position than you are now.

Maybe you could make them a deal - better grades, more help around the house, nicer words, whatever your issues are. If you give a little, they might, too. They might not. Either way, you will only make things worse by getting your ears pierced then trying to hide it from them. Very unsafe!

Answer 4

ok you just have to get those clear inserts you know or get some really small earrings and coverthem up with sticker ones and tell your parents that you will keep those kinds of earrings on untill you are 18 and wear your reall ones underneath! I got my ears peirced when I was 2 weeks so if my parents wouldnt let me till I was 18 and they really ment it and I still did it well I would rather think I would not be able to sit for 2 days on my bottom

Answer 5

I do think it's pretty extreme that you're not being allowed to do it... my parents made me wait until I was 12 and I thought that was ridiculous. I ended up having my daughter's ears pierced when she was seven months old. My parents threw a fit, not that it made a difference.

Anyways, having been through it and made it to adulthood, I can tell you that I can understand the frustration of wanting something that common done and not being allowed to do it.

I can also tell you that nothing except for food, air, and shelter is important enough to cause this much of a scene. It's nice to have pierced ears, but not important enough to hide them from your parents and worry about being thrown out and all of that. Hopefully that wouldn't happen, but it's just not worth it. Wait the three years. I know, I know, I agree you shouldn't have to... but you do have to. Life is unfair, but that's how it is.

Answer 6

You can't because you have to leave the earring in your ear for 6 weeks so the hole won't close up, or they'll get seriously infected or close up.

But... if you do it over summer vacation, ask if you can stay at a friend's or family member's house half the summer, get it done, and come back home in 6 weeks after you can take your earrings out! -- Or you can go to Claire's and get one of those clear thingy's like the person in the 1st post said.

Answer 7

Whenever you get a body part pierced, leave it up to the pros. Fishing string could lead to infection. I don't know of any method that you could use that your parents wouldn't notice. If the piercing is such a big deal with the parents, why don't you wait...it's not worth all the trouble that will follow.

Answer 8

I miss being this young, when all I had to worry about was getting some little holes in my ears.

Now I have to worry about paying bills, rising gas costs, paying for child care, working full time.

In ten years, after you have seriously upset your parents for getting your ears pierced behind their backs (which is what you will end up doing) , you will look upon the situation and laugh. Please remember that no one will like you more or less if you have your ears pierced.

Answer 9

first off all claire's will not allow you to get it done u have to be 16 or older or have a parent with you second you need to keep it in for 2 weeks and use bactine to keep it sterile ps the hole is not noticeable but u will get caught eventually n claires does it with a gun PS no cartilage cause it takes longer to heal n it hurts GOOD LUCK GRASSHOPPER lol ps u can use cuff earrings until u can get real ones they r cute too

Answer 10

Its going to be hard to hide that from your parents. Your should buy magnetic ear rings and see how your parents react. A peircing isn't worth a roof over your head. If your parents react okay to magnetic ones then you can get them done with out risking anything. (just dont tell them the ear rings arn't real) Who is going to sign for you to get them done? Your mom could sue the place if you get it done with out her concent.
