DON'T try to pierce your belly button yourself. A professional piercer will have everything sterlised properly, something it's nearly impossible to do at home, even with a kit. You really don't want to get an infection! A pro piercer will also know exactly where to place the jewelry, it's very important to do that otherwise it could grow out or migrate easily, among other problems.

If you want to convince your mom to let you get it done you should do some research and show her you understand the risks and how it's done and that you want to get it done in a clean environment by a professional with a good reputation - that might show her that you're taking responsibility and the decision seriously. I would print out the FAQ on getting a new piercing at - http://www.faqs.org/faqs/bodyart/piercing-faq/getting-new-pierce/ - and read it together with your mom (especially the bits about getting piercing when you're under 16-18), and this page written especially for parents - http://www.bmezine.com/par-faq.html - and then maybe see if she will go with you to talk to some local piercing studios about the procedure.

Doing that is more likely to show your mom she can trust you and see you're mature about stuff, instead of going behind her back and getting pierced in a highly unsafe way!

I'm 13 and have the same problem and I sat down with my mom and had a talk with her about it. I found out that most parents believe that because of having a pierced belly you are at risk to expose your growing body  to infections and that you'll want to wear expose your belly a lot in front of guys. When you talk to your parents address those issues and show her you can be mature enough to take proper care of it so it won't get infected and that you can be trusted around guys.

Well, recently  have had a fever to get my belly pierced. Im 14 n my mom wont let me get it pierced she says when im 18 n out of the house. So i took that into consideration n pierced it myself. I did it with a safety pin. But i took it out. Then i did it again with a safety pin n took it out. Then a couple of months lata i did it again but it shrunk so i had to take it out. I want to get it repierced but i have scarred tissue can i get scarred tissue pierced?

well i am  12 and i got my belly button pierced for my birthday about 4-5 months ago
my dad took me and my mom and dad both gave me permission ... convincing them was pretty easy i researched on the procedure for about a month just to make sure the info. was correct. i showed them the information and they trusted me ... i was pretty scared but it went really quickly and it is still not healed fully but it id getting there soon
dont be worried about convincing your mom .. most likely when she reads about the teens that have already had theres pierced she will understand and it will bee better than you just saying "i want my belly button pierced"
also do not try to pierce it yourself that is just awful!

Idiot don't pierce your own belly button yourself. You will regret it and harm yourself badly! If you want it done so bad without hurting yourself then WAIT.

Well, i think you should show your mom that you are mature enough to get your belly button pierced. I'm sure she would much rather be knowing that you're responsible and have read up on the subject and understand about its risks.
