my mum says no!

[EndureEmo]

i really want some piercings but mum keeps saying no everytime i bring it up,

and if i do get one
...
if i take it out how old with it take for the hole to close over?

most preffered advice would be on angel bites or snake bites , how old will it take for the hole to close over?

I had my lip pierced and I took it out for work everyday, which was a few hours and eventually it got to the point where I couldn't put it in anymore so I had to leave it. If I was you, I'd wait till you're old enough to get it without parents permission so you don't have to hide it from your mum, especially as when you first get it done I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to remove it as you've got to let it heal and what not.

I agree with Charlie, just wait until you're older. There's no need to rush these things and it would mean a lot less hassle for you as you wouldn't have to hide it from your mum.

Also, if you get it done somewhere without parental consent then the piercing shop you go to would be breaking the law so you may find it hard to find somewhere that will do it and if they do, do you really want to trust a shop that goes against the law?

It says that you're 14 so I'm going to take that into account while I give my opinion on this matter. I know it sucks but usually when you're 14 what your parents say usually goes and there is nothing that you can really do about that. I don't think it's worth going behind your mum's back to get it done and then try to hide it from her because at the end of the day she's your mum and they find out absolutely everything! Trust me! It's not worth falling out with your mum about and she probably has some perfectly good reason for you not wanting to get it done so I would just try and respect her decision, even though I know that's tough because you want to get it done and all. The trends seem to change so quickly these days and while you might want to get it done now, a couple of months down the line you might hate it. I agree with everyone else, I think you should wait until your old enough and if you still want it done then go for it, nobody is stopping you! I hope that this has helped you in one way or another and if you would like to talk further then feel free to PM or VM me whenever as I'm always more than happy to talk.

Take care!

It has to be completely healed before you can take it out without it closing up.

It takes 6 to 10 weeks for it to heal up enough or you to be able to change it to another piercing (you could change it to a clear one) but to take it out and leave it empty and it not heal over it takes about 2 to 3 months.

I changed my cartilage piercing after the amount of time the piercer said but it swelled up again so I put the original piercing back in. I got my piercing done in October and it is only now fully healed because I changed it too early even though I waiting until I was told to. Don't risk messing around with it until it is fully healed.

When talking to her about it if she starts to get annoyed with you asking about it then leave her alone because she will be more likely to say no if she is annoyed. It may be easier to just wait until you are 16 and can get it done without parental permission.

Just wait. If you want it that bad, you will still want it when your of LEGAL age.

thanks that website helped alot

its not good to take it out for the first 6 weeks. if you really dont want to wait, get it done and put a clear bar through it so your mum wont notice, thats what i did

[Heartlines.]

I think you're better off to just wait. If your mom finds out you have a piercing (if you get one) it's likely she will make you take it out. And your money and time will have been wasted. Putting it in and taking it out frequently will just generate infection. Plus, I hear the hole closes pretty quickly. Take care<3
