How do I convince my mom to let me get my tongue pierced?

any1_4wishing: How do I convince my mom to let me get my tongue pierced?
Yesterday I was telling my mom that I want to get my cartilidge pierced, or my tongue pierced. She said cartlidge was okay, but there was no way I would be allowed to get my tongue pierced while I was living at home. The tongue piercing was the one I wanted most. I’m 20, technically I don’t need her permission. But knowing her, if I do it she will find way to make my life miserable. I told her that it takes less time to heal, and that really no one can even see it unless you show them. I asked about a tattoo, and she said she thinks girls with tattoos look cheap and trashy. I really want my tongue pierced, how can I get her to say yes?

Consider getting a small piercing and take your mom to the store and show her what kind of piercing you’ll get if you decide to.

technically yeah u do, if u are living under her roof, you go by her rules.. and what benefit would you get out of getting a hole put in your tongue.. it can get infected and go to your heart.. if i was you, id listen to your mom..

your mom is right and if you’re 20, you need to move out anyway. tongue piercings are not hot. guys say it pleasures them better, but i made my g/f take hers out permanently cause it got in the way

Get her some factual information about it and ask her to read it. You could also tell her about someone she respects that has their tongue pierced, if you can think of anyone. Don’t nag about it, but keep bringing it up every week or so, so she knows it’s not just a whim, but you really want it.
I think it’s great that you don’t want to go against your mom 🙂

here’s a hint. DONT. there’s nothing attractive about that at all. but if your gonna do it, dont plan on eating nachos for a while or it’ll get horribly infected and disgusting. i say dont convince her, just go and get it. at least if you dont like it, you can take it out and five minutes later, it’s like nothing happened.

Answer by BEAutiful
hmm… that’s a tough one. perhaps try talking with her and telling her that you’re mature enough to make your own decisions and hey, at least this one isnt completely permanent (unlike a tattoo). if later on in life you decide you dont want the piercing you can just take it out and it’ll close up after a while.
here’s just two tips for tongue piercings- you’re gonna have to floss between the piercing to reduce the chance of getting infection and also dont ever try to pierce it yourself or you could end up damaging a nerve and never be able to move your face again.
but im sure u already knew those things
good luck 🙂

hi dazzling!!!you must understand one thing that if u can do it without her permission but you are still asking for her permission then you must know a thing which is called “generation gap”.so if she is asking you not to do so then it is right up to her mind but if you talk to her gently and give her proper reasons then there is no doubt that she will allow you and i personally agree with you that piercing tongue is better and there is also nothing bad in getting a tattoo.so do give her some time and let her think and she will obviously let you allow to get your tongue pierced and also will allow you to get a tattoo. so just give her some time to think and give her some proper reasons.hope your problem will be solved.

you cant get her to say yes. you can either just do it, and bare the consequences, i had mine pierced when i was living at home, and i was able to hide it from my parents for 6 months. you just have to be careful and buy a retainer…if you want some advice though, dont get it. i took mine out after a year, and to this day, 5 years later, i still have a scar and sorta a hole in my tongue. i have 4 tattoos, and my nose pierced, and my cartilage, and i love all of them all, but the tongue i regret i had.
