My daughter wants a pierced lip?

Let her get a clip on, magnetic, or stick on jewel that she can wear on her lip. I would never let a 13 year old get a facial piercing and most piercers won't be willing to do it either. She's 13 and isn't getting her way, of course she will cry about it.

It's just a lip piercing. What's the big deal? It's not as if she's asking to have a tattoo on her face. If she ever gets bored of it, all a lip piercing leaves is a tiny scar - barely even visible. As long as she knows that lip piercings take months of aftercare before they fully heal, and that the aftercare is her responsibility, why not let her have it.

She's 13 and trying to assert her independence and personhood. She's not your little baby anymore and at some point you are going to have to let her do her own thing.

If you really don't want her to have a piercing, you can get her a fake lip ring:

she might desire to by no potential are turning out to be a nostril pierced. she is merely too youthful for that. She continues to be dealing with puberty and place products in her physique is probably not helping. this might desire to have been performed at like sixteen or 15 while she somewhat wanted it. Now you started some thing which you will not have the potential to stop.

Shes 13, she cannot make you get it pierced. After all she is not of age to go without your consent and if she does you have a law suit you can file.. She is gonig through a phase, she will grow out of it and many more piercings will be obsessed about. I lived it, and did it. I regret every single piercing i put in my body right from my eye brow to my fingers to my tripple belly button piercing and two tongue piercings!! She WILL regret them. So do not give in until shes 18 and can use her own money and consent to wreck her body

Oh--13---the Icky Age. 13 and 14.

My daughters are 29 and 30. Although neither was dumb enough to pierce their lip or naval, they both have tatoos that they deeply regret, and one had a tongue ring, which she admits she got just to "bug" me.

If she wants to be herself, tell her not to do this. She wasn't born with a hole in her lip.

Body piercings are GROSS and sounds like SHE wants to be gross by the way she's acting.

I would say if she really wants it, let her get it. But make her work for it. (Do extra chores around the house, etc.)

There are many different kinds of lip rings and some of them aren't as drastic as others.

For example: if she really wants it to be noticed she could get a black hoop.

If she doesn't want it to be as noticeable, she could get a silver stud.

And if your family is going out to dinner or somewhere nice, she could even get a clear or 'invisible' lip ring to put in so it's barely noticeable.

I don't think there's anything wrong with letting her get one, and if she ever decides to take it out the scarring isn't that bad. There will always be a very small very light circle, but that's it. It will almost look like a dark freckle.

I think you'd be an awesome mom if you let her get her lip pierced. :)

13 sounds a little young even for fake ones. Try and convince her she can get it at 15 or 16 as long as your ok with it. Maybe if she gets good grades at 15 or 16 she could possibly get it.

if she said that it doesn't have to be real then get her a fake one and tell her that if she still wants one when shes older she can get a real one ..... i remember when i was 14 i wanted my belly button pierced and my mom would not let me so i pierced it my self ... you don't want your daughter doing something like that ...

I reckon she doesn't really want one, but just peer pressure. All her friends are probably saying they're going to get one and she feels left out, possibly teased about not being able to have one?

However, I would advise against asking her if this is the problem because she will just shut you out even more...

Try and dig deeper, enquire why she really 'wants' one.

She's 13. She lives in your house, so she should abide by your rules. I think those things look horrid. Tell her there are more things she can do to "be herself".
