hii
i really want to get my nose piersed, if i do i found out that my moms docters does piersing and i would feel so much better knowing that the docters is clean safe and they know what they are doing.
i heard that if your nose piersing (sp sorry) gets infected it can lead to brain damage.
cause the same blood vessels in your nose are shared by blood vessels going into your brain.
that worrys me cause everyones bodys handel it diffrently. im 13 is this too young of a age heath wise??
i mean i wanna know how rare the brane damage thing is cause a piersing isnt worth the risk.
also im trying to convince my mum to get it done shes still iffy. heres what i got so far:
-personal fason statement
-form of bodyart
-chance to establish your individulaty
-relighous cultures (india) its a symbol of breauty
Well the first step is to learn to actually spell "piercing"
Now, I'm a little offended by you saying that you know a doctor is more clean, safe, and know what they are doing. Doctors, study medicine. Body Piercers, study piercing. Now, who knows more, doctor or piercer. A body piercer actually has to go to school to learn to pierce, and most shops are very clean and steryle. So, Please, Don't put a bad image on tattoo/piercing shops.
You asked if your body can handle it, that is totally up to you and how you feel about it. If you are nervous/hesitant, I don't suggest getting it. Health wise, it all depends on how you take care of your piercing.
You can not get brain (you need to learn to spell that also) damage from a nose piercing.
Personally, I don't think that you are mature enough to get a piercing, just because you are asking strangers how to convince your mother, and you can't really spell it worth a crap, and you obviously have done no research.

You need to show her that you are mature and responsible enough to get this. (I dont know if you both get along, but since you are 13, I'm guessing based on when I was 13 that you guys have your arguments and disagree on a fair share of things)
Try to listen to what she has to say, and obey her rules for a week or so. Just try not to cause arguments, and give her reasons to not let you get this. Show her that you are mature. Just explain to her that you accept that she thinks you are a bit young, but say back (in a calm manner, try not to get defensive) mom, i appreciate what you are saying, but I need to be myself. It isnt a permenant thing. I can take care of it so it heals properly, I've read up on it and I have done the research. If you really dont like it, I will take it out. (which you wont acutally do, its a ploy to get her to let you do it...heehee) Just say that you need to take on responsibility at some point, and this is a great way to show her you are responsible. Tell her you are paying for it, and it is your body. (this sentence can seem a bit hostile if you dont word it properly, just try to say it like you mean it, but without attitude)
Try to reason with her. Most importantly, be mature about it. If she disagrees at first, try not to get upset and mad. She will be less likely to let you do it if you react poorly.
