Plus, the responsibility that comes with a belly piercing may be too much. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen 14 year olds with belly piercings who handled it just fine, but 16 seems to be optimal for both the responsibility and just for her age in general.

Explain how a piercing would boost your confidence, help you to stand out and assert your individuality or just be completely honest and say you think it looks good and it would help you be cool. If you’re open and honest, most parents will understand, as they may have felt the same way as a teenager.
Many teenagers love the idea of body piercings, but in most states, kids can’t legally get pierced without a parent or guardian’s consent until they turn 18. There are some piercings that no minor can get even with parental consent, like genital piercings and nipple piercings.
