Does anyone have any ideas on how I can talk my mom into letting me get my nose pierced?

I'm 16. And I love love love my parents to death. But they won't let me get my nose pierced. My mom thinks it looks disgusting. As well as my dad. But I really want to. The legal age you have to be here is 14 so that's not a problem. My boyfriend (who I have been with for almost 3 years.) doesn't like the idea either but his mom has agreed to take me if my mom says no. That is the LAST thing I want to do because I don't want to disobey her. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can talk her into it?
 
When I was 15, I wanted to get my nose pierced too and my Mom wouldn't let me. She told me to write down 10 reasons she should let me do it, and good reasons, not like "cuz it looks cool". So, I did and she let me do it. =) Maybe this will work for you?? I can understand (as a mom myself now) why your mom may think it looks "disgusting", but your own self expression is important. Having your nose pierced or tattoos doesn't make YOU a disgusting person!
