    Well, this is not a little thing and if it is something you really want you will still want it in a few years. I want a tattoo when I was 15 my mother and father got them all the time, but they made me wait until I was 18. Man I was pissed, I thought what hypocrites. However when I was 18 I totally changed my mind on the tattoo. I still got one up it is much nicer and I think I would have regretted the other one.

    I also wanted my nose and tongue pierced and they said hell no...I felt so deprived everyone was getting it don't and I was the only nerd with out one. I got them done and I was living on my own. The point is I had to wait 3 freaking years for them and still wanted them in the end you may change your mind and this is your face you will scare for the rest of your life. Keep that in mine.

    Just respect your fathers wishes he is not doing to be an ***. He loves you and will not let you follow others because you think its cool for the moment. You will be starting summer jobs and maybe even part time work after school and people doing the hiring judge you on the way you look. It may not be the right thing to do but that is the way the world works.

    Good luck and have patients.

    My dad told me I had to wait until I was 18 before I could get a piercing tattoo and so on. I did wait and I got my nose pierced, my tongue pierced, my belly button pierced 4 times, my ears pierced and I have 4 tattoos. th funny thing is I now only have 2 piercing and is the top and bottom of my belly button. The other two did not heal properly and I had to take them out. The best thing to do is wait until you can legal get them with out parental consent. This might not be what you want to here but in the future you might not want the snakebites. Also with the drum kit he might not want to hear a lot of noise after a long day or work so it is hard to change a parents mind when they have already decided.

  • Look. You are in his home, do as he says. If he does not want that in his home. Then get a job, earn some money and move out. You can also sit down and have a reasonable talk with him. You are only 15 (going on 16) but you may regret the piercings later (my little brother did) listen to your father, he knows whats best for you. I don't think he would much like you going for advice on yahoo answers either.

    thats parents for you unfortunately, wait till you are one yourself !

    all i can suggest is show him how much youd really love and appreciate a piercing and drum kit and youre gonna end up eventually with them but youd rather do it with his blessing.

    GOOD LUCK.

    dont forget to let us know what happens.
