How do I talk my parents into letting me pierce my tongue?

I dont think you can I tride doing it and got murked…

I have to agree that your parents are right and if you had to choose between a peircing and and having a stable home, I’d think you’d make the wiser choice and not get it pierced. BUT if its something you really want, what I would do is be the best I could possibly be until my sixteenth birthday. I mean like straight A’s in school, keep the house clean, try to stay home as much as possible, you know stuff like that. Then when your birthday rolls around ask you parents if thats what you could have as a birthday present and mention how you think youve earned it. but whatever you do, dont go it behind there back. hope this helps. good luck!

‘so why can’t they just let me do it now, sooner rather than later. ‘

Because they are in charge of raising you the best that they are able to prepare you for the world. This means keeping you as healthy and safe as they deem fit. If all the free and willingly given room, board, emotional support, love, and attention you are receiving and will continue to receive is worth less to you than having a ridiculous piece of metal in your mouth, by all means, continue to disrespect and disregard their wishes.

Look past yourself and your own fleeting needs for two seconds and realize the position you are putting them in. When you are living on your own, you may do and act and put holes in however and whatever you wish. For now, your world is not going to collapse because you can’t immediately engage your fashion whims.

I think if it is between getting your tonge pierced and being kicked out, you should obviously wait. I dont know your parents so only you would know if they hold true to that. I was like you and wanted my tonge pierced when I was your age, I got it done behind my parents back and luckily my parents were not too bad with it, but like I said I dont know your parents and how they would react. I haven’t had my piercing in a few years and I honestly dont miss it.

well I think of it as a younger thing to do, and I’ve told them I’d take it out before I went into a serious job or anything, but that you can get clear retainer thingies anyway so people don’t know it’s there.

they would definately hold true to their word, my older sister got kicked out when she was 11 to go live with my dad, then she cam back but got kicked out again for good 2 years or so ago. she’s 17 now

Your parents are only trying to help you. As annoying as it is, they’re right. Some places won’t hire people with certain piercings or tattoos. A lot of people judge the suitability of someone by personal appearance, along with the rest.

If you definitely will get the piercing when you’re older, though, why not wait until then? There’s no need to rush if it’s a definite thing.
