Misheru: How to Convince My Mom to Get a Double Piercing?
My mom actually has a double piercing, she got hers when she was sixteen. (Except she got hers because everyone had one and her first one sagged due to heavy earrings) But now I’m fourteen and I want a second piercing. One not on the cartilage! But one right above the first one. 🙂 How do I do this? My mom really doesn’t “believe” in this kind of stuff since she’s a traditional Christian, but she has one so she should understand, right? Any tips on convincing her?

Have you even asked yet?
You could says something like, “Mom, I would really like a double piercing. Any chance I could get one soon?” Ask her – if not now, if she’ll consider letting you get one in the future.
If she says no, leave it at that. If you keep asking, it will come across as annoying and whiny.
You could also ask in a few years if she says no. Maybe she would think you are too young right now. But whatever the case, respect her decision.
ETA: Faith, I totally agree with you about the Christian thing!

“My mom really doesn’t “believe” in this kind of stuff since she’s a traditional Christian” –
I don’t know what this has to do with being a Christian. I’m Christian & I wouldn’t mind my 16yr old having one. My sister has one, so does one of my sister inlaws. We are all Christians.
I don’t believe in traditional Christian or extreme Christian. Either you are Christian or you are not. God doesn’t see us as any different and we should see it as any different either.
That said . . . Just talk to her. Tell her that is what you want. Don’t whine just make it casual. If she says no right now let it go. Maybe for your birthday or even Christmas. When she asks what you want for your birthday or Christmas just again casually bring it up and say “More than anything I want a double piercing.”

talk to her that piercings help to express yourself and you want to express yourself through the way you look. I have red hair and 7 piercings, it worked for me 🙂
