It is a very good idea to respect your Mother's wishes while living under her roof.  If and when you get piercings remember that they will leave scars if you decide you don't like them any more. 

I have piercings and can get away with it because I am an artist.  If you decide to become a professional ... lawyer, doctor, nurse, teacher... piercings may not be acceptable.  You must also consider where you live in the world.  I imagine that JH Harlen lives in a very conservative community where I do not.  A nose piercing is not unusual at all in my city ... not even slightly as the city I live in is very ethnic.

Wait until you are an adult.  Wait until you have decided what to do with your life.  Always consider your Mother and her advice... she loves you more than life it's self.

I can tell you that piercing your nose is extremely painful.  ... And, if you are going to get any piercing, make sure you have it done professionally.

I don't know about God not liking piercings...he may be too busy to be giving it much thought but in a very short time you will tire of them and then you will always have the hole marks, though closed up, to look at for the rest of your life.Believe me when I tell you, you think it's of vital importance now to get this done but some day you will really come to regret it.

Some religions state that the body is a temple, not to defile it. Depends on your religion. But don't do it, you'll be sorry in a few years, trust me..........

Are Tattoos and Body
Piercings Unchristian?
-by Tony Warren

There was a time when markings on the skin were only made by the primitive and heathen tribes, or by sailors who had traveled to their countries and brought these customs back with them. Body piercings were traditionally done only by primitive tribes who didn't know the God of Israel. However, it is indeed a sign of the times that over the last few decades, body piercings and tattoos, which are reminiscent of the unregenerate pagan nations, have become very popular in Christian countries. So much so that today it is not uncommon to find that people professing to be Christian are either in support of, or defending the claim that there is nothing Biblically wrong with these practices. You can even search the internet and find so called 'Christian tattoo parlors' and 'Christian body Piercing studios.'

I don't know about the god part but I think piercings are disgusting,  Reminiscent of tribes in Africa wearing bones in their noses, an uncivilized savage.  Mutilation a disgrace to your body, not to mention danger of infections possibly resulting in disfigurement.  When you are older and wiser you will look back and wonder why you felt the need to satisfy your friends and make the same mistake they did because you think its cool.  You will live most of your life as an adult-- Start acting like one and quit playing 'follow the leader'..

Maddley-  I think if you get a nose stud etc now you and your Mom will be at "war".  I am Christian and have never heard a sermon/mass about peircings being shunned by God (it isnt in the Bible).  That being said, your Mom may believe that it is against God.  I would re-read Fishlet's comment.

My sister and I pierced our ears in our mid-teens (old enough to drive a car, cuz we were in town without Mom).  She didn't speak to either of us for 3 days.  I now have 10 ear piercings and no one says anything. 
I also pierced my belly button and it was a miserable experience the whole time. The "scar" is negligible.  I just looked and can't even see it.  
My nose was pierced twice (the stud fell out in my sleep and I couldn't get it back in). I wore a small diamond stud; very tasteful, in my opinion.  I had to remove it at work a couple of years later.  I left it out for simplicity's sake. There is a small scar I see, but no one else gets that close anymore :(
I consider myself a Christian.  NO ONE from my church, or any other I've attended, EVER called my piercings a blaspheme.
Your mom doesn't want you piercing additional body parts.  Let it go until you are an adult. The advice Fishlet, Ann, and nomdeplume offered is excellent.  
My suggestion:  Be upfront and RESPECTFUL with your mom.  Tell her you know God isn't going to banish you from Heaven if you pierce, but that you know SHE would be very disappointed.  Tell her you love her enough to wait until you are old enough to make the choice without her permission.  (Do this nicely)
Who knows....you may change your mind by then.

Ewwwww. Don't get piercings anywhere except your ears. They could get infected and ooze pus. They could totally go out of style. They are so ugly.

Do not ruin your beauty and do what your mom says. She has more life experience. 

When you are much older you will be able to make the decision on your own. (But don't)

Now lovely tattoos are a different thing. Pretty flowers ...   : X

Your body is a temple of God. You'll piss him off if you blow holes in it.

In my limited knowledge, I don't remember this in the ten commandments, my daughter had her nose and navel pierced, but she was an adult and took them out when the novelty wore off, listen to your mum and if you still want piercings when your older then go ahead, I personally have no objection to them but also would not allow my daughter to have them done when she was young

If you are citing your Mom, then you are a child. Listen to your mother. You will be an adult at some future time and then you can do whatever you'd like at that point. Good Luck with your future endeavours.
