As long as she understands that it will hurt for a while, and she is OK with that, I think it is fine.  If she gets one done and then does not want the other done, take her away from the area to get her mind off it and then try again --or see if you can get them to do them both at once!!!  \n\nI think sometimes it is the mom who really wants it and she then tries to convince her daughter.  If the little girl REALLY wants it, she will tolerate it better.\n\nGood luck!!

goto a professional piercer that uses NEEDLES!   piercing guns are NOT a good thing. they rip through and tear the flesh.  Google it for a ton more info on how bad piercing guns are for you like the ones they use in the mall and such.

First off how old are you?  If you're under 15 I'd say wait on navel piercings--- not a responsibility thing, more a your body won't do well with it and you're still growing up and maybe out who knows.. but if you want to do it anyway... get it done by someone who knows what they are doing....BUT if you can't do that then somehow find a hollow pt. 14 gauge needle to pierce it with and make sure everything is sterile *trust me get someone who knows how to do it do it*  I did my own when I was 14 with a leather needle and hoop earing *ok we're talking like 1989 here* but it got infected *ewe* then did it with hollow pt. needle *did ok but hurt like a SOB and got kinda infected* then waited a bit and got a ligit piercer to do it.. no problems since...

Thirteen seems way too young to make that kind of decision. If I had been allowed to pierce whatever I wanted when I was 13, I'd definitely regret some of them - and I've had lots of piercings! I'd have to say that 16 should be the minimum age for body piercings.

tell her that your seventeen now and your capable of making your own decisions. she should understand soon enough. the reason why she dosent want you to do it is because no parent wants their child getting their belly button pierced. you shouldn't do it behind her back though...tell her why you want your belly pierced, the pros and cons and stuff. good luck!

I would get one of those shock collars.  Just kidding, they have videos out that teach children dangers, but don't completely emotianaly scar the children like my parents did.

Jewelry,if she likes pets may a pet like a dog or cat or something. Or if you or her think its the time you should get a engagement ring. Good Luck.

Believe me, your parents WILL find out, they just do. Why don't you try to come up with some reasons WHY they should allow you to have it done? I can understand why they wouldn't have wanted you to get it at 13, but you're a little older now, hopefully a little more mature, you're responsible enough to drive a car (I'm assuming, anyway), so maybe now is the time. \n\nI don't think you should run the risk of not telling your parents. First of all, like I said, parents just have a way of finding out, and you will lose A LOT of their trust and confidence in you for going behind their backs. Second of all, with any piercing, especially in a place like the belly, you need to be carefull of infection. What are you going to do if you get a roaring infection? You would have to tell them because you'd have to get it treated.\n\nYou ought to think about whether a belly piercing is really worth losing your parents' confidence in you... talk to them first! Maybe if you pay for it, if you let your mom go with you to have it done, some kind of compromise. Your parents sound like decent folks who want to take care of you... talk to them first!  And good luck!

Talk to her about it nicely and when she is in a good mood. get what she ask for (good grades etc) just do anything to satisfact her in change to get ur ears pierced. you no, they r parents, every parent want good behavior.

I tend to agree with the above person. Although there seems to be quite a bit of info on the internet, it's often better to have it explained to you by an expert. There are different treatment modalities, that I won't go into here. Best to speak in depth with your childs doctor. Best of wishes.\n\nHave you discussed surgical options?

Claire's is a good place. I got my ears pierced there three times and I never had a problem.

If you have already been to the doctor and would really like to try piercing again make sure you keep them extremely clean and disinfected. Try an ointment that worked wonders in healing my piercings and other cuts and abrasions, bacitracin. You can find it at any drug store. Also keep in mind that you're ear lobes have had a bad injury to them and there may be a lot of scar tissue from the injury and previous piercings, it may hurt more than it normally would to pierce now and more difficult to heal. I would recommend not pursuing piercing anymore if the condition doesn't get better after repeated attempts.

It's possible that the ear will heal around the earring.  You really do need to keep turning them.  Try it when she's sleeping

i have 2 earrings in my left ear and 1 in my right ear. I have had this from the early 70's. it was a sigh of toughness and you would take a chain and tread it from 1 hole to the other in the left ear.

i think it is always best to ask a doctor especially if its for your child. there could be a drug interaction or complication with any underlying conditions your daughter might have.
