howd you talk you parents into letting you get a lip ring?

Question

i really want one, but i need to first find the perfect way of asking.

Answer 1

Just wait until your 'of age' to do it. Sorry. Thats probably what your parents are going to tell you too....no way around it
;(

Answer 2

I am going to say to wait until you are 18, despite your not wanting to hear that. You can't pick and choose what you want to hear on here, especially when it is TRUTH. Unless you are willing to move out on your own, pay your own bills, and do your own thing, you are still a minor in your parents house and therefore have to obey their rules. Does it suck? Yeah, probably. But that's the way that life is. Trust me, in ten years you will be looking back, WISHING that this was the biggest problem that you had in your life. Wait until your old enough to get it yourself, and then get it. It isn't worth starting a war over something as silly as a lip ring. (I love piercings and tattoos, but find the majority of lip piercings to be tacky and trashy, just my opinion, but I see where your mom is coming from.) So again, until you are on your own making your own decisions, you need to go by what your parents say. You are still under their roof, after all, and until that changes, you are obligated to follow their rules. And please don't listen to that first user who says to have a friend do it, or to do it yourself. Will it really be worth it to have an infected, bloody, pus filled lip just because you couldn't wait a year? Seriously.

Answer 3

I don't think any parent wants to see their child get her lip pierced. As a parent, I honestly cannot think of anything my daughter could say that would make me think she needs one, or has to get one, or to sway me to allow her one.

My wife's niece got her's pierced, and after a few months, took the ring out and let the hole close up. She didn't like it anymore.

Think long and hard about this, please. There is possible damage you could do to your teeth, there's infections to worry about. And not too many people think that lip piercings are attractive, not that you're too worried about that, I'm sure.

They are probably the 'thing' to do, but please don't feel that you have to do this because everyone else is.

But to directly answer your question, there is no perfect way of asking. Try asking your parents what they think of lip piercings, or if they've seen them. I would gauge their reactions to that question before popping the "Can I?" question. They may answer yours before you even ask it.

Answer 4

Im sure you may really want one, but as a parent I would be afraid my kid would regret this decision later in life. I wouldnt want my kid to get one till they were an adult......and unfortunatly people do judge by appearance; I know its not fair, but it is a reality. So future jobs etc dont like this kind of thing. Im sure there are other ways you can express yourself. I grew up in the 80's, thank god I didnt do anything permanent from those styles.......ew, could you imagine being stuck with big hair and leg warmers...permanetly?

Answer 5

In my opinion, you shouldn't get one at all. But if you really want to, sit them down and say, "Can I talk to you? I want to get some body jewelery. I am responsible enough to handle the daily cleaning and anispetic.I hope you take this into careful consideration and remember my feeling when you respond to my question. Can I get a lip piercing?

Answer 6

You just kindly and respectfully ask. But I must warn you, I am a mom of 4 kids and I don't care how nice they asked, the answer would be "no." When they grow up and have their own place, they can make their own decisions. Until then, no permanent tatoos, or holes other than neat ear piercing. I guess I am old fashioned.

Answer 7

Before you do that, get a fake one to see how it actually LOOKS on you.
You don't want a forever scar there because you made a stupid choice as a teen.

(( No. I don't hate lip rings. But they don't flatter everyone. ))

Answer 8

It depends on the parents, you know your parents.. We don't.
Some parents are strict and have very strong opinions, so if they say No they will not say Yes later on.. they will keep it as that.

Unless you parents feel bad easily, and WOULD say Yes. Then try and persuade them with Good facts and information. And say why you want one.. You know, =).

Good Luck.
Hope they say yes ;D

Answer 9

If you respect your parents, abide by their rules. If their rule is "no piercings on your face" then you get none.

However, once you're 18 and out living on your own and supporting yourself, your money is yours to use as you please. When you live in parents' home you follow their rules.

BTW - lip rings look dumb.

Answer 10

best way is walk in the house with like 20 fake rings on your ear and face and see there reaction, if they dont fall over dead you can ask to keep 1 real one...if they do fall over dead then wear as many as you want to their funerals.
