How long should i wait before asking my parents for their approval for more tongue piercings?

Q: i requested to my parents at the start of last year if i could get my tongue pierced. they were both extremely stubborn. they kept saying no, but finally i actually wrote up a paper showing to risks and the pros and cons of it. so in december i finally got it done, but it took everything to convince them. oh and another important detail, im only 14, which im aware is a young age to have a tongue piercing.so now im wondering. i really want a pair of venoms as well so ill have three side by side, left middle right. and i know thats kinda crazy, but its something ive actually been thinking about right after i got the tongue piercing. and i wouldnt dare ask my parents right now because i know what the answer would be. but im wondering how long i should wait to get the answer i want from them. btw i know all the risks of tongue piercings, i know im young, and im not asking for your opinion on the piercing as well as an opinion on the situation. id just like an answer to the question. :pi definitely agree that its my body, but first i know theyll either freak out or get mad at me if i ask them now. and i want to be safe about it, i wouldnt ever do it myself, and i dont know how i could do it behind their backs and not getting caught instantly by them.

A: i have my tongue pierced and i was in the same situation as you it took my parents forever to let me get it.yeah i am 14 too.but then i wanted my monroe pierced so i told them i would pay for it myself and that i would take extra care for it and that if it got infected that i would never get another peirceing on my face and they agreed. dude i would wait about 2 months since you just got your tongue pierced and they are prob. just getting over that. good luck though and i hope it works out okay.oh and the one girl is right getting your eyebrow pierced is also really hot

are there different kinds of tongue piercings? what is this one called?

Q: I’m thinking about getting my tongue pierced. and don’t lecture me about it. i know all the risks. thats not what I’m asking about. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r285/vvpeacemonkey05/?action=view&current=bmepb353769.jpglooking at that picture i can’t tell if the girl has two different piercings or one long piercing stretched across her tongue. if it is one long piercing im wondering what its called.

A: That looks like two off-center tongue piercings, otherwise known as venoms. I believe you’d have to have the right sized tongue for those, I had a piercer check if I could get mine done like that and he said that they would have to be way off to the side, possibly causing a lot of gum/tooth damage.
