SHould I tell mom???

it's impossible to say without knowing your mom, but not telling her sounds like a precedent you don't want to set...

Tell her. If you have a healthy relationship with your mom (like it sounds you do) there's nothing you can do that will make her love you less. After all which is worse, the days and weeks of hiding it and worrying or the possible couple days where she is a bit steamed? It won't be the first time shes pissed at you and probably won't be the last.

I currently have a tond of piercings..... including my septum, nipples, 2 vertical hoods, tongue web and retired surface piercing my parents do not know about.... oh also a tattoo they don't know about. In my opinion, it's better they don't know. But I can't say without knowing your mom personally... good luck either way.

I wouldn't do it. My dad is the same way, loves tattoos hates piercings, so I refrained from showing him my septum when I visit.

i say you should tell her, dont jepordize the friendship you have with her by trying to hide something so trivial... its your body, so even if she doesnt like piercings the worst she can really do is say that... good luck

Why NOT? She's probably done things you don't like either.

tell her. honesty is key. my mom and i are the same way about that type of stuff. i got certain "body mods" i knew she wouldn't like but, she got over it in time. if you want to keep the relatioinship strong, tell her. explain to her you didn't want to tell her for whatever reason, if you have the type of relationship you say, she'd understand more. good luck in whatever you choose to do.

And here I thought I'd be strolling into a thread about virginity. Hmph.

I'd just tell her.

I do not understand the tattoos are ok, but piercings are bad attitude. PIERCINGS ARE TEMPORARY!! Tattoos are forever. People that hate piercings but think tattos are cool really bug me. So what, you hate needles, get over it.

Seriously, it's a surface piercing so you aren't going to have it that long. Normally I'd say tell her and tell her what I said above but in much nicer terms. But it's a surface piercing so hide it.

after all that, sounds to me like she could handle not liking your piercings... of course, my mom's a southern baptist, so I'm not really sure how these things are supposed to work!

Good mood is good timing. Good idea.

damn, this site is useful as fuck.
