How do I convince my mum to let me get my ears pierced a 2nd time?

So i'm 14 nearly 15, and I have my ears pierced and I really want some more piercings, like my belly, lip, ears, nose, and helix. But i think the only thing my mum would let me get done is my ears the 2nd time, and I don't know how to convince her. She said its not about the money but I've saved $12 towards it, please any ideas that could convince her to let me get them pierced ??!!

    here is how i got mine done:

    i got my seconds done a month before i turned 15.

    i sort of tricked my mum; i told her i wanted it done on one side, mum said that she didn't like that idea so i had to chose between getting both sides done or none. timing was also good because my sister wanted her first one done so we went together, but i ended up going first.

    when i came home with the piercing, dad wasn't happy, he wanted me to take the earrings out. it took him a few days to adjust and told me the only reason he would allow me to keep the piercing was because a few women at his work had their seconds done (dad works at some upscale business)

    Tips:

    1) find out why they don't want you to have it done.

    2) explain exactly why you would like the piercing done.

    3) explain how piercing are more socially acceptable in today's society and won't affect your job opportunities later on in life.

    4) do trades/make deals with your mum, you will do more chores or not go out as much if you get it pierced.

    5) 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.

    7) 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.

    Do some thorough study about every piercing, print out what you find and take a seat down and talk along with her. Present your findings in an adult method and he or she'll see that you're enthusiastic about it and no longer simply making a random determination. To find things like how they must be pierced (i.E. Needle vs gun), cleaning, forms of issues that may arise (infections, scarring), the great situation close you to have them finished, truly any expertise that you simply find as a way to support you construct your case. I wouldnt endorse going for all of them at once possibly two at a time or so. But in regards to the $12 thats not even 1/2 of what a good piercing costs, most of the time they are at least $forty each. I would go for the ears first. They appear to be probably the most suitable among parents

    I got my 2nd ear peircing the weekend of my 15th birthday.

    I gave my mom a few hints that I wanted my ear peirced for the 2nd time and then I asked her can I get a 2nd ear peircing and she said no. But when I asked her can we get our ears peirced for the 2nd time and she said yes. We both got our ears peirced.

    You can try doing something like that with your mom. Also explain to her why you want to get the peircing (my reason was because I would wear earring studs in the 2nd peircing and regular earrings in the 1st peircing).
