first of all how old r u ?...if yer under 18 theres not much u can do til u r...if your over 18 ...they will get over it. my mom loves all of my stuff...my dad hates it...but he didnt disown me or anything....parents need to realize that we are a new generation...this is our thing...but yahno what...most dont see it that way until we are over 18 and take our own matters into our own adult hands and they see that we arent their babies anymore and can make our own adult decisions.
no its not stupid....it is a form of ones own expresssions .....doing it yourself is easy...order a needle from a tattoo magazine and just go for it...theres not real nerves in the navel...its like piercing an ear...its easy.
