How to tell my mom I got my belly button pierced

All my friends were gettin there belly button pierced. So I talked to my mom and she said 13 is a young age for that. But I did it anyways and now I have to keep my shirt down at home and up in skoool only

Shud I remove it and let it fade away or tell herr??? If I shud tell her, how shud I tell her? What should I sayy/!?

Answer #1

My mom is like yours. She wont let me get one umtil Im sixteen, and I cant imagine going behind her back to do it because lets face it…I dont want to pay for it myself! But if I had a friend who could do it for me…Well the best way to tell her is before she figures it out for herself. I mean come on! Shes gonna know when one day you both go the beach and you’re wearing a shirt in the water and you usually wear a bikini. Catch her in a good mood, when she’s most likely to think the situation over thoroughly. Tell her that you’re sorry for doing it behind her back and tell her that if she wants you to take it out and let it close up, that you will (dont worry theres more) but tell her that you both should be able to come to a compromise about it. If you let it close up now, then you should be able to get one later on. Or that if she lets you keep it you’ll do something to make up for it. Sweet talk the woman!

Answer #2

I personally don’t think that 13 is too young to get your belly button pierced. That’s how old I was when I got mine done and although when I asked my parents if I could get it done, they weren’t too thrilled about it but because it was something that not everyone would see… they didn’t care so much.

By the way, did you pierce it yourself? If you did I think that you should in fact tell your mom because what would happen if it got infected? Think about that.

Answer #3

just tell her , sit her down (when she is in a good mood) and say mum I feel really bad bcoz I’ve gone behined your back and she will b like why what have you dun and then show her and say your really sorry and I feel real bad. say that your going to look after it so it doesnt get infected and stuff goos luck

(:

Answer #4

tell her…its easyer…trust mee… I had a friend do mine. I told my mom that same day she made me take it out. I was 12 now im 14. and fer my b-day im getting it and my nose done… so its kinda gay but its worth knowing my mom will be their to support me for my second timeee…lol

Answer #5

im in that situation now, I peirced my arm by myslef, and I cant pluck up the courage to tell her. But I have too because my teacher has found out. It is best if you tell her though. I keep crying, because I dont know how too tell her. But the best way is too tell her when she is in a good mood.

Answer #6

ooh amd 4got to sayy, if you dont tell her and she see’s it one day she will b more mad at you than if you do tell her so if I was you I wud tell her

Answer #7

I don’t think the problem your mother has is with the piercing itself, I think the problem is with you keeping “your shirt up” at school.

It’s inappropriate for a girl of ANY AGE to be exposing her belly at school, let alone someone who is only 13. I think that’s the kind of behavior that leads your mother to believe you’re too immature for a navel piercing.

I think I would be up front and honest about it, and I would be prepared to deal with the consequences of disobeying her. I think if you want to be able to do the things mature girls are allowed to do, you have to show your mother you are mature enough to handle them.

Answer #8

you should deffinately tell her. most parents are happier when you are honest with them, rather than going behind their back, but I agree with underwaterophelia, I have my bellybutton pierced too but I do not flaunt it around with my shirt up, and I am older than you, that is not a good way to represent yourself and people might get the wrong idea, good luck with telling your mother!

Answer #9
