I can't see the problem really. If she's had her nose done already, why should her belly button be a problem? Surely the nose is a lot more visible/likely to provoke a reaction? How is a belly button any worse than ears? 99% of the time it won't be on display anyway.
I'd probably have a chat with her about the importance of taking care of a belly button piercing as they are a bit prone to being gungy if not looked after or if they catch on something.
At the end of the day, when the novelty wears off she can remove it and it'll heal in no time at all (unlike ears!). My first belly button piercing I took out for an hour and it'd healed!
Plus I agree with hypnorm, if you've said she can have it done at 14 and she's wanted it all this time, then she is pretty serious and it would be unfair to then change your mind.
i dont think there is any thing wrong with it. piercings can be taken out. i had my lip eye brow tongue done and you would never no now. you can change your mind tattoos is a different story though i would never allow them!!
i got my belly button done at 13. my sister is 14 and very grown up. long term serious relationship all sorts she got hers peirced at 13.
if you let her get her nose done then i think belly button is fine ild be a bit more worried about the nose with it being on the face.
but belly buttons are nice sdhe will love it bless her. x
I am sitting on the fence sorry. I personally think 14 is too young - the midriff can be viewed as a sexual part of the body and I don't like seeing young girls with their belly showing. I am always going to say to Seren that she can have her ears done after 8 if she wants them, and anything else she will have to wait till she is at least 16, nose, midriff, lip etc. Both me and her dad have had a number of piercings but we were 16 and over when we got them.
Saying all that you did say she could have it done at 14 and like others have said she will probably remember this. She does sound very mature so perhaps if you feel uncomfortable about it still then sit her down and explain your reasons. After all you are not sying no, just not yet.
i have no problem with getting it done, i personaly would wait untill Charlie is 16, thats if she wants it. but then every childs mental age is differernt so it depends on the child.
My nan (i was rasied by her) lived in the stone age and never let me do anything or go anywhere so i rebeled alot so i could feel normal and do what all my mates were doing at my age, i moved out when i was 16 coz i just had enough of living under her strict and old fashioned rules. thats why im laid back with mine i think, i dont want to lose them the way my nan lost me.
Personaly I would say to wait till 16, with still growing it may warp and distort still as she grows, as I know someone else this happened to. even though you can take them out they always leave scars. I used to have my eyebrow pierced and I have a permanent scar from it now. And a friend of mine had her belly button pierced 3 times, and the third one wasnt 100% straight so pulled and was uncomfortable so she had to take it out, and now the whole area is ruined by scars.
Also you might want to be carefull as if you cave on this and she gets it done as 'mummy has one' the next thing she will be asking you for is a tattoo!

i no what you mean hun, i was ok my mum was pretty laid back. but my friend wa never able to come out to play no one could stay round hers she wa not able to have a boyfriend till she was 18. o what did she do??? she ran away at 17 got pregnant and now hates her parent a they took her childhood away.
yeah we are very close like best friends so i really wanted my children young so i could be to them like she was with me.
she was very strict if i was naughty. once i stole a milky bar and was grounded for 3 months. never leaved the house only for school!!!!!
one thing she was strict about was me shaving my legs i was not able to till i was 16 and i hated it, i remeber it all to this day.
