Hey everyone, 15/m here and I wanted to get my ears pierced today, both of them. I asked my parents they said fine I could get it done. But right when I was about to be out the door my mom asks "which ear?" then I said both. And she gives me this look and asks "why?". She just goes and asks question after question after question after question and starts talking about what getting your ears pierced mean you're gay or some shit. Hello mom!!! That was last millenium, maybe if I wanted to get just my right ear pierced then that would mean I'm gay, but either way, I'm not, I had a g/f, she's seen her etc. Guys everywhere have both of their ears pierced, I see it in my school, I see it in the NBA, I see it in the NFL, in music videos. I don't know wtf is her prob with it being just my left or both. And I wanna get it done TODAY. What should I do?
Explain that the stuff about right ear piercings being gay is idiotic, and cite some examples of guys who have both. Don't get too angry at her, just shrug and say that both ears is considered absolutely fine now. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]
Fish answered Thursday July 1 2004, 5:47 pm: Tell your mom that whole "left is right and right is wrong" stuff about guys and ear piercings is crap. It is anyway. Tell her you aren't gay, and it should matter even if you were, and that you don't care about that stuff. And then...go get your ears pierced. And you're right, a lot of guys get both pierced (I think it tends to look better anyway) If she won't let you...there's always the 'ol apple, ice cube, and needle old fashioned way (I saw this one guy who pierced his own ear in class without that stuff. It took him a while but he did it) I wouldn't advise it, necessarily, but it can be done. [ Fish's advice column | Ask Fish A Question ]

Show a few pictures if you have them about those ppl like NBA stars and football players etc. If that doesnt work i think your just gunna have to wqit till your 18

blue_exodus answered Thursday July 1 2004, 1:11 pm: Tell her calmly that it's very acceptable today for guys to ave both of their ears pierced. But don't show frustration, because that will make her feel as if you are trying to rebel- and she will be more likely to not allow you to get them pierced. Remind her, also, that she said you could- but don't say it like you're trying to shove it down her throat. Good Luck-
