How can I convince my parents to let me get snake bites?

Ok so heres the problem. Im 18 years old. I really want snake bites, but my parents are completely against the idea. My mom says that its not “feminine”, even took it so far as saying they were demonic. Thats not true at all. They were reluctant to even let me get my ears peirced a second time. I’ve done the research and showed them that I could take care of them, I can even pay for the whole thing myself, and they’re still saying no. I respect my parents and they have a lot of respect for me and im not gonna go behind they’re back and just do it. Any advice on how I can convince my parents to let me get snake bites would be appreciated. Thank you

Answer #1

ok just tell her your 18 and you can make your own choices and that you wanna be your own person

my mom thinks I should be able to express myself so I got my back peirced with a rod going through it (lower back) lip nose belly button (3 times) and I have both of my ears peirced 15 times =-) allwayzz maymay

Answer #2

you’re 18 so do what you want to do. and your mom says that it’s not ‘feminine’? if you’re not a total lady than I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine. I want to get tattoos and my ears pierced when I’m 18 or older and my dad doesnt agree with it (luckily, my mom doesnt care!! :)) but I’m getting them anyways!!

Answer #3

Why the hell do you want those? Why do people feel the need to cover their fces in makeup, desecrate their skin with tatoos, and fill their face with jewelry in order to look good? It’s pointless and destructive.

Answer #4

Seen as though youre 18 you’re legally old enough to get them done although doing this could loose you’re parents respect which it seems you appreciate. Offcourse you could go ahead and get them done but you could also ruin your relationship and trust as you would be going behind their back.

It seems you’ve tried to to convince them already but have been unsucessfull. All you can do it keep trying. You say you’ve told them how you would care for it and everything so it seems maybe nothing would change there minds.

So the question is do you respect your parents enough to respect there wishes or go against them? I would wait a couple more years and they can’t realy argue with you then as you’d be even older and more capable to look after the piercing

Answer #5

Your 18… do what the hell you like. Tell them you will move out, find a flat and everything so really its not their choice. they won’t agree even if you don’t live under their roof. Parents are parents.

Answer #6

If you still live under their roof - it’s their rules no matter what. You want snakebites - move out! Your 18 years old - get a job and move out on your own then you have your own rules.

Answer #7

To me, it messes up a pretty face and definitely not feminine in my humble opinion.

Answer #8

sweetie, just tell em its what will make ya happy… my dad HATES my monroe… just do it, its your body
