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

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 research about each piercing, print out what you find and sit down and talk with her. Present your findings in an adult manner and she'll see that you are serious about it and not just making a random decision. Find things like how they should be pierced (i.e. needle vs gun), cleaning, types of problems that may occur (infections, scarring), the best place near you to have them done, basically any information that you find that will help you build your case. I wouldnt suggest going for all of them at once maybe two at a time or so. But about the $12 thats not even half of what a good piercing costs, typically they are at least $40 each.

I would go for the ears first. They seem to be the most acceptable among parents

Depending on how ancient you might be, you could most of the time go and get it carried out your self. I think it is if you are under 14 or 15 that you simply want your mum and dad consent. In any other case, there are lots of methods which you can pierce your own ears. All you ought to do is numb your ear first.

Make a pros and cons chart and only tell her the pros. I've done this and now I have 3 piercings on each ear, my septum (bull piercing) and spider bites.

tell her pros and cons. the majority pros of course. I have 3 in each ear. my upper and lower navel, my lip and smiley.(im 15) it may seem like a lot. but this method worked every time. but I also have a very carefree mom. if she keeps saying no though, don't keep asking
