problem solvers needed: want to get my lip pierced

But my parents are like all about the clean image and whatnot. I think it's a cool look and I would like to have it done. I'm 18, but I go to college locally so I commute, which means I'm still under my parents roof. They like the clean image, they don't want the piercing to effect possible jobs later in my life. The thing is, my major is Graphic design and illustration, soon to be digital animation, so everyone in my classes have either a piercing, a tattoo, gothic look, or they're gay. I'm the cleanest guy there. How should I go about bringing this idea up to my parentiles?
 
Ask them, if they say no, deal with it. Can you come up with a list of pros and cons for this piercing? Think of having it when you are like 80...
 
I got tired of mine and took it out. It healed up in 4 months, and you can't even tell i had one.

(They aren't gonna throw you out of the house. They did crazy shiet when they were young too)
 
They said no to the lip ring, did they say anything about ear/nose/tongue/eybrow? Always ask for more than you really want, that way even if you get a no to that you can still get what you want and your parents still feel like they're doing their job. You are 18, you should have figured that out by now.

But I'll warn you, parental logic would suggest that if you can afford a lip ring you can afford to live on your own. Not that makes any sense, but like I said, it's parental logic. Just be prepared.
 
Don't do it, not worth the hassle.

Just wait until you move out, or get a tatoo that is hidden by normal clothes instead and don't tell them.

One question? WHY? Just because you can? Not good enough. Just be yourself and don't follow the croud to mutilate your body just because you can. Think first!!!!!!!!!


Just my $.02


BTW my daughter has her navel pierced and has to live with it. It can be covered if needed. But your lip?
 
Just tell them its either that ortattoo of a bullseye on your forehead?😉

I have many piercings,and can tell you that they heal up if you take them out,so that til yur 80 thing doesn't fly.

Don't be such a momma's boy and do it already. Do you really think they will kick you out overit? If so then you need to weigh your options. I'd leave if they are that strict though,your call.
 
I'm not worried about them kicking me out, I'm just worried about their reaction. I know they won't like it. There will definately be one of those talks that you hate to have with your parents or children. I'm not afraid to have it done, I'd just feel better if I had their consent. So how would I go about getting that?
 
why would you want to puncture yourself like that? go with something less temporary... if you really want to be like the others in your class, how about trying homosexuality? hey if you don't like it, you can always switch back.
 
IMO, if you're getting it to fit in you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

but besides that, you have to look at what they could do to punish you. you're a big boy, you can make decisions on your own, but so long as they have leverage they tend to use it. i have to listen to my parents regarding piercings/tattoos because i would like help on my tuition/car insurance when i get one etc.

for proper aftercare if you decide to get it check out BMEzine.com and this FAQ
 


<< After you get your lip pierced, get your winky pierced, then you can chain them together. >>




Yes, then post pics!!!


(JUST KIDDING, DAMMIT! NO PICS! 😀)
 
This isn't really related to the posts, but I've always enjoyed the "conformity sucks" people. Isn't not conforming just lumping yourself in a different large group of people who have a fairly similiar look? Anyway......

I personally don't like lip rings, but then again I take anything that could hamper my kisser's ability to function seriously. Besides if you have a job it would probably hurt your chances. Just wait a year or two until you're out of school and have a job, then you've got no worries.
 
I'm not conforming, it's just a look that I happen to like, I don't want to do it because everyone else is doing it. I don't want to get my tounge pierced because I think that's stupid. Females should be the only ones allowed to get their tounges pierced... some of you guys may know the reasons why 🙂. I just happen to like the look of a lip piercing.
 
Honestly IF you're gonna do it - don't bring it up with them. Just get it done. Then its too late for them to do anything. They'll act all surprised and what not but its too late at that point. If, however, you tell them first and they say NO and you get it done thats just bad. Shock them, I think that will work.

Don't shock parents with "So my gf is pregnant", but this will be ok.

Females should be the only ones allowed to get their tounges pierced... some of you guys may know the reasons why Yep, cause theres one thing that is good for.
 
Are you guys really under the notion that a guys tongue piercing does nothing for a female in the same situation? If so you are lost.

No, I dont have one, but have heard stories from my wife's friends. I got my dick pierced, I love it, and it "hardly ever" 🙂 shows in public.
