I really want two hip piercing but I can’t convince my parents. I got my belly piercing because I wanted to have a tongue piercing but they thought that it would be a bit to extreme.
They only say “wait until you are 18″ and ” don’t destroy your body more then what you already have”
I have really wanted those hip piercing for a very long time now. Could someone give me some advise how to convince them? And please, don’t say “then wait until you are 18 then
Guess what, Steph? I don’t know of too many terribly ethical piercers who do surface piercings on minors, parental consent or not. Hardly anyone who gets surface piercings on their hips or stomach manages to keep them for long, and they usually end up with some lovely rejection scars as a souvenier of the experience. I get that you’re a teenager and therefore know everything, but you’re really going to have to accept your parent’s advice on this one - wait until you are 18, and get it done by an excellent artist with a portfolio of healed, well-done surface work for the best chance of healing them out.

I would have saved myself a lot of money if I didn’t get ALL the surface piercings I wanted at your age. (Money= Needed to pay for the piercing and try to diminish scars). And you don’t want to ruin your pretty hips for future tattoos now do you?;)
Lyse on May 2nd, 2008 at 7:17 pmCan’t say that I’ve ever adored condescending tones, but I have to agree. If your parents are set in their decision, there’s probably no way to change your mind.
Just don’t try it yourself. I have a few friends that have done their own surface piercings, and it’s one type of piercing I wouldn’t recommend experimenting with by yourself.
