  • We'll see, means no. Yep it hurts, and yep 12 is too young :-)
  • i'd wait a while, i know that everyone probably says that to you but what i wanted when i was 12 has changed a lot from what i want now at 17.
  • If you cannot make a decent sentence, nor spell words like "your" and "young," you are not mature enough for a body piercing. How's that for a non-sequitur? But that's how my mind works. . .lol
  • I think you should wait until you are older. Having the bellybuttom pierced is VERY painful. It throbs for ages afterwards as well.
  • 12 is really too young to know what you want to do with your body, even if piercings aren't that permanent. Piercings do hurt, though for me at least the initial pain is nothing and it's just sore afterward for a while. If I were you I would wait a couple years to pierce your belly button, especially since it's something that you need to clean every day for the first couple of months and then regularly afterward.
  • let your body grow a bit more. i dont think i wold let my daughter get that at 12.
  • She may let you get it done when you are older. Yes it hurts and it can also get infected and bleed. Be prepared for this. Yes, I think 12 is too young. You should wait until you're 18.
  • It is great that you think whether you are making a right decision or not. As a man, I think body piercing is not a tasteful thing to do except for ear piercing. And yes, I heard that it is quite painful for a few days.

  • I think you are, but I don't know you. And imperfect spelling doesn't necessarilly mean you aren't responsible and sensible. But you need to make sure that you can get it at your age, some states have limits on minor piercings with permission. If you can't get it legally until you're 14 with consent, then you'll have awhile to wait and try to convince her. As for pain, yes, it hurts. But it's not terrible. As you get older, you will develop a higher pain tolerance, so there's another reason to wait. In order to change "we'll see" to "ok" or even "probably" you'll need to do everything you can to show you're responsible and smart. Do your chores, do things you aren't asked to do, be respectful, and go ahead and ask if there's something that would change their mind. Make deals like 'almost all A's and you'll consider letting me do it." Never demand, just ask her to think about it. If you aren't bargaining for the piercing but for her to consider the piercing, she won't feel pressured. Find out her concerns, and after doing your research, show her what you found. Worried about infection? Show her when you go to a good shop the infection is usually from bad aftercare. Tell her how you'll do your saline soaks and wash it gently, stay out of pools and hottubs and keep your hands away from it. If she thinks it looks tacky, show her some discrete jewelry and tell her you'll be wearing shirts that cover it most of the time. Acknowledge the long healing time, then compare that to something else you've commited to for a long time (remember that hamster or goldfish you kept alive for at least a year?) When she doesn't want to talk about it, back off. Say that you'll ask her another time and change the subject. Above all, don't do something stupid like letting someone unprofessional pierce you underage without her permission. That will justify her fears that you aren't old enough for the responsibility.
  • hon, dont get it pierced . its so much of a hassel to care for infections and such , im 17 and i regret getting mine because it got infected and im running around trying to fix it . just wait a while and get it once you're older . you wont regret getting it in a couple of years cause you'll have wanted it for a while, right :)
  • To be honest, the fact that you're doubting if you're old enough is plenty to show that you're not ready. It does hurt, more afterwards I would say than during the piercing. But not only do you have to consider whether you will want it in a few years time, you don't know how your body shape will change over puberty, the person piercing you will position it so that jewellery will sit nicely as you are, in the future it may sit squint or too tilted.
  • ~ it realy depends on ur mom. my mom said we'll see too. and i asked her if i could get it pierced when my sister got her eye brow pierced, and she said yea go ahead. ~ Nope, just dont watch. and if she asks if you want a count down. say no. trust me! ~ If you really want it done go do it. the only problem if trying to get some place to pierce it soo young. i got it pierced at age 14 and i found 2 placed to get it done. thats it. ~ Dont do it cuz every one els it. do it if you want. .P.S. It isnt bad. Good luck. (:
  • Depends on what your mom is like i'm fifteen and i think i'm abt to get mine pierced on my birthday so ya i'm a little scared too but now that i think back my body has changed alot since i was 12 and i'm only fifteen so just think it through before u get it done.
  • Yea 12 is too young I was about 15 when I got mine done just wait a few years
  • 12 is WAY too young. Christ. It's quite a sexual piercing, not like a genital piercing is, but you know what I mean. You'll just look like a mini hooker, to be honest. I'd never EVER let my kid get their belly button pierced if they were 12. I reckon 14 is the minimum age, dude.
  • even 14 is too young i recon. ide start considering it when my daughter is 16
  • i had mine done at 14, most people i know had it done at 13 and it was fine. it just feels like a quick pinch. i'm bad with pain to but it barely hurts. if your really scared you could get a freezing patch and you wont feel a thing.
  • Well the actual piericing isnt that bad, it feels like a really hard pinch, afterwards is when the most pain comes in, but its worth it. An as far as the age thing goes i kno how u feel i wanted my done @ 12 too, but truth is thats to young, im 17 an i just got mine done. an im glad i waited...so just give it a c0uple of years, i promise it'll b w0rth the wait!!!!!!!!
  • In most states, you need to be fourteen years old which was when I got mine done. To get your mom to say yes, you need to stress how much you want a belly ring and in my opinion, I think you should wait a little until you're positive you really want one. And lastly, getting it pierced didn't hurt me at all! I didn't even know the needle was in but I also have a pretty high pain tolerance. I even thought my ears hurt worse than my belly button.
  • I've had mine done before...It really didn't hurt, just a slight pinch, the clamp was the worst part. But since you are only 12, I think you should wait like another 2 years.
  • Your (ur) mom is just stalling, she probably means 'no you can't get a piercing'. I believe that 12 is too young and it'll probably hurt as hell!
