My question is this-- Do you have any advice on how to convince my very stubborn father to let me get the cartilage piercing?16 year old teenager wants a Cartilage Piercing-- advice to convince parents?
Research it, tell him the pro's of cartilage piercing and a few (if any) short term con's that don't matter in the long term (swelling, redness).16 year old teenager wants a Cartilage Piercing-- advice to convince parents?

tell him that they pierced your ears when u were really small and u couldnt say yes or no and now that u want to make a piercing they say no
i understand how it is with a stubbern dad well i used to tell my dad (if momm gave me permission) ';my mom let me so if its okay with her is it okay with you its nothing bad';
Thats all i can do for you or just bug him till he says yes i also did that and i like bugging him
you can buy fake piercings on the Internet and hot topics or u can perice it itself but use alcohol so u won';t get infected
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;i think you sould REALLY buy fake percings becuz if ur parents doesn;t like it u can take it out!
but if u perice it urself u mire get infected and it will hurt
here are good ways
you want to express yourself
-if you or he doesn't like it.. you'll take it out and it will close up.
-you'd rather express yourself physically and not by swearing
- i dont knopw but you could try ';i don't drink smoke or do drugs';
or
';dad i have really good grades!';
- or ';how does it affect you dad';
idk im 16 too but my parents wouldn't really care haha
good luck!
I think that maybe if you search the internet for pics of what it would look like, you could show him that it doesnt look that bad. You have to be yourself once in awhile. Kudos for you for not wanting 2 go behind his back either.
I've had a cartilage piercing. First of all, they get infected easily: hairspray, catching it on your brush, etc. But thats not what you asked.
Do your research on it and print it off for you dad. Show him that you can be responsible about taking care of it. Earn the money to get it by yourself even if someone has told you they would pay for it. Make a deal that if you can ______(make good grades, keep your room clean for a month, etc.) he will let you get it done.
We're talking about your ear, right? Tell him that lots of girls get their faces, or nipples, or privates pierced. You are asking for a simple additional ear piercing. It's really a very conservative piercing to get. It's something that has been popular for a long time, so you won't risk feeling silly about having it as an adult. Unlike tattoos or belly button rings that can look childish on older women, it will only add to any look you want to create. If you decide to remove it, it won't be a noticable scar.
I think is cool that you get a piercing. But talk to your dad about it. I remember when I was like in middle school and got a piercing behind my dad's back. Of course I didn't care because he is just old. My godmother wanted me to take it off but I told her that she let her daughter do whatever they wanted and they are like 3 month younger then me so I told her that I wasn't gonna take it off and she told almost everyone in my church and i had to take it off. But anyways i'm getting it back because I don't live near her because I move from Puerto Rico and now I'm cool with my new parents. So i'm gonna get a new piercing pretting soon. Hope it helps.

I took my dad to the parlor to show him it was a clean facility. and we went to look at the place, we had the guy explain the procedure, show us the tools, and also the hazmat disposal bin, then he explained the cleaning process and how long it would take to heal. then my dad spent 2 days thinging about it. Approach it as a safe thing that will not affect you in the long run.
Also tell him that the piercing will not affect jobs in the future and is easliy hidden should you even decide to take it out. (heavy foundation)
There is nothing wrong with a simple cartilage piercing. They're rather cute. My mom even has one.
Your father is probably thinking that he doesn't want his little girl to grow up..(not saying you're a little girl, but I am sure you get what I mean!)
Just tell your father you want that, and nothing more, meaning not your nose or belly button. It's still in the ear!
Hope this helps!
God Bless!
I'm 13 and I have one. I got it when I was 10. My mom didn't really care, but I know that alot of parents do. I think you should just explain to your dad WHY you want it. He might think you want it to look cool because all your friends have it and you'll regret it later in life. Tell him that you want it because YOU like it and thinks it looks good. Also, explain that you know how to be responsible and take care of an ear piercing, and that you won't regret. Goood luck! :D
Really the only risk is that it will either get infected (as can happen with any normal piercing) or that the cartilage breaks and your ear ends up deformed.
I'd wait til I was old enough to pay for the plastic surgery if it screws up and breaks your cartilage instead of chancing your dad having to pay for it.
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…
If a person was meant to have piercing - he/she would have been born with the extra holes...................
you should tell some positie roll models that have it done, and tell him its not to fit in its to express yourself (like you cant express yourself in clothes becuase someone more then likely will have the same shirt or pants as you.) that is how i convinced my dad... also tell him youll pay for it urself
Is it that important for you to get the piercing if your father truly does not approve? I know it's your body but it is his house and he makes the rules. Unless, you are paying rent, utilities and buying your own food then you have to respect your parents until you are able to make it on your own.
Ridiculous!! Why would you want to do something so silly? Your dad is completely correct.
