So, im an 18 year old guy and id finally like to get my left ear pierced. my dad says that i cant as long as live in his house because he thinks that an ear piercing on a guy is gay, "for faggots" as he puts it. im straight and tried to explain that that is hardly a wide held view, but he wont listen.
at 18, shouldn't this be my decision, even if i live in his house?

Do it. Live with it. If it's shite, take it out. Nuff' Said.
Regardless, you are 18, so I think you should be allowed to get your ear pierced if you want.
What about in the tops of the ears? Eyebrows? Lips? How's he feel about those?
he is living with it.
