Here's the thing. Professional piercers use an autoclave to sterilize their equipment. An autoclave uses not only heat, but pressure as well. Some bacteria and other pathogens are extremely heat resistant and can survive even a flame. If you pierce with that, it is possible to become infected, which in turn can get ugly. Honestly, wait until your parents give in and can take you to a respectable place, or wait it out til you're old enough to get it done on your own.

K first off it is very dangerous to pierce anything yourself, it is very risky because you can easily get an infection. I pierced my lip myself and it was perfectly sterilized but it can still be very dangerous, I was lucky it did not get infected and it is probably better to get it done professionally. Especially your eyebrow because it can paralyze half your face. You can run into a lot of complications.
If you're really going to rebel and do this use peroxide to sterilize the needle and jewelry. Let it sit in hydrogen peroxide for a good 5-10 minutes than wipe it off with a clean tissue.

Don't do it. Just wait, and maybe your mom will reconsider and let you get it done by a PROFESSIONAL. If not, just wait until you move out of the house to do it. You seriously don't want an infection, and your mom is going to be PO'd.
But let me just say this, I'm not you and it IS your body. If you think it's a good idea then do it, but MY opinion is that you are going to regret it later.
I hope that you make the right decision.

Don't even think about it. You are risking more than 3 mo. grounding. You are also risking infection and nerve damage, which is permanent. You will grow up soon enough, and then you can have these things professionally done. Till then, Mother knows best.

I honestly think you should get it done by a professional. because chances are, your gonna screw up. Plus the needle probably isn't sterile, so you could get bad infections.

DON'T.
No, no, and no.
I'm 14, so I know all the pressures of wanting to rebel and wanting to fit in, but it's so not worth it.
You could get a gross infection, or put the piercing in the wrong place and it would look HORRIBLE.
Don't do it, it's not worth the risk of messing it up, nor losing your parents trust!!

hmm... first off.. yea.. dotn go against your parents.. believe me.. im 17.. ive learned first hand! but a peircing kit.. ok.. you should always sterilezz stuff like that.. just to be sure. and it wouldnt be worth it. DO NOT DO YOUR EYEBROW! dont do it urself! getting your eyebrow pierced.. NEEDS to be done by a perfesional! its a very hard place to pierce! and you could hit an artery and paralize your face... dont do it. as for your nose.. cute.. but ehh.. and your lip.. again.. i want my lip pierced too.. but dont go against the mother.. as the saying goes. "mother knows best" dont piss her off..
