My mom won't let me get a belly button ring. Any ideas on how I can reason with her?

Question

So I want to get my navel pierced. I think it is really cute and fashionable. I'm a teen, and can't get it pierced on my own. I want it SOOO badly. My mom says she doesn't want me prancing around like a hootchy. But I am not that type of girl AT ALL. I just want this to feel better about the way I look. I think getting one would boost my confidence. I sorely need that. But although my mom knows I'm not that type of girl, she insists on saying no. Please help me find reason with we so I can get one. What should I say to her that might let her loosen her grip?

Answer 1

Tips:

i would also do some research, show here that you know what you are getting into and that she won't have to worry about the piercing (mother's worry)



also explain why you would like the piercing; you like the look or it helps with self confidence.



bring up the fact that now days piercing are more common and socially accepted.



do trades/make a deal with our mum, you will do more chores or not go out as much if you get it pierced.



maybe ask for it to be a reward, if you have done really well in school or a sporting event, the piercing could be considered a reward.



be mature about the whole process. you don't want to burst out screaming, yelling or crying. you need to show you are grown up for the responsibility of taking care of a piercing.

Please keep in mind, while you may not see yourself as being inappropriate, I can guarantee you that when a guy looks at your stomach, much less one that is being accented by a bellybutton ring, it guides his eyes to lower areas on your body. And I promise you, he's not thinking about your great personality. Men are much more sexually driven by visual cues than women are. It's not wrong, it's nature. But unless your ready to be seen as an 'available' woman, I'd be conscientious about to where you're drawing attention. I have asked guys this question about piercing before, and I have found that the ones who had bad reputations liked bellybutton rings on girls because it told them they were easy targets. The ones who are really interested on who the girl truly is told me that they fall for girls with kind eyes and warm smiles. Think of some other ways to boost your confidence! Try getting streaks in your hair, buying some new clothes, or whitening your teeth. Or even getting a makeover at the mall! Or if you want to know my little secret to boosting my confidence, I go volunteer somewhere locally. Knowing I helped someone makes me feel confident and stronger inside. I hope this helped some, sweetie! Let me know how things go!
