How to break the news of my belly piercing to my mum?

I turned 16 almost exactly 3 months ago, and almost 2 months ago I got my belly pierced without my mum's consent or awareness, but I can legally consent to it being done myself.

Before I got it done I'd been wanting it done for at least a year, so it wasn't a rash decision. I checked out the piercing place before; reviews etc said they're really good, friendly and make everything easy and sterile and all that (and they lived up to it when I went in).

So it's been almost two months and my mum still doesn't know, how could I break it to her that I've got my belly pierced? I was thinking of waiting till it's more healed, then going out, coming back and saying "Mum I got my belly pierced today!" and I'll pretend that it's just healing really well.. Any better ideas?

    You might as well let her know.

    If you didn't have her consent then you kind of deserve to get a bit of discipline.

    Just know the longer you wait the more angry she'll probably be.

    If you're mature enough to do it on your own, then you're mature enough to tell the truth.

    Thats my opinion though.

    No need to rock the boat, IMHO.
