If you want something reasonable like your ears done, try barganing. Offer to take on some new responsibility like doing the dishes or the laundry if you can get your piercing. You then have to actually do the thing you promised to do without having to be nagged about it.

If you want something more like an eyebrow or a lip ring, you'll have to do more work. If you are under 16, wait a few years before attempting this procedure, since many piercers won't even work on you until 16 and other piercings like tongues and belly rings really arent safe until you're closer to grown.

To get your parents to maybe give in for something like an eyebrow, you will need to know all about it. You will need to know how to care for it, what to wear in it, how long it takes to heal, how it should be done, what to look for in a piercer, how you could hide it safely for work, and what it would look like if you chose to take it out. Once you get all of that information memorized, go and talk to your parents. Not whine at them, not throw a hissy fit. TALK. Explain why you want the piercing and tell them all those wonderful things you know about the care and feeding of your piercing.

With all of that info under your belt you will be able to answer their questions and counter most arguments with correct information. Once your parents have seen that you understand the piercing and are willing to accept the responsibility, they may give you permission. If they're still not sure, repeat the first procedure and offer to do some new thing around the house or some other incentive. If it still doesnt work, let it drop and try again after a few months of good behavior.

If your parents just won't let you, then you're out of luck. Doing it yourself is dangerous, gross, and usually results in an odd looking piercing. Plus you will throw away your parents trust in you and disrespect their wishes. In my parents' house that would mean grounding and a loss of privlages AND the removal of the piercing. All that work just to get into a lot of trouble. Lame.

Keep talking to your parents so they can understand what this piercing really means to you. Work with them until they get the idea and grant permission or you turn 18 and are independant.

My son ask me all the time if he can get a peircing and this is what I tell him. If he can get straight A's for a year he can get a peircing. So far that hasn't happened. I told him I pay the bills so therefore he needs to follow my rules. When he is 18 and is out of the home then he can make that decision.

I told my daughter that she can do what she wants to her body when she is over 18 and has a job with medical insurance to cover any possible things that might go wrong. And is living outside of my home.

well if you're 18 or older you can go get one without parental consent. i went out on my 18th birthday and got my bellybutton done. find out why your parents are against it and try to come to some kind of compromise or agreement. and don't just go out and get one on a whim. make sure it's something you definitely want. you might just have to wait awhile longer.

Right now you need to respect their wishes even if you don't agree. Once you are an adult out on your own, you can make these choices for yourself.
