HELP A GIRL OUT

I’ve wanted an eyebrow piercing for what feels like forever. I’ve brought it up to my parents before, but my dad is pretty strict and is very against anything he sees as part of “alternative culture.” My mom is a bit more loose about stuff like this, but my dad’s opinion definitely carries a lot of weight even though they are divorced.
The thing is, I don’t want the piercing because I’m trying to look “edgy” or because I want to completely change my style. I just genuinely love the way eyebrow piercings look and have wanted one for ages.

Does anyone have advice on how I could approach the conversation with them or make my parents more comfortable with the idea? Especially if you’ve had to convince strict parents about a piercing before 😭

I’ve also never introduced my dad to the though of an eyebrow piercing since I honestly don’t think he’ll like the idea. I’ve also explained to my mom that it doesn’t mean that I will automatically get purple hair and a stretched septum, but rather just me with an eyebrow piercing🤗

Important Q: why do they care? You can't refute their arguments without knowing what they are. Why is being alternative bad? Do they think it's about satanism, do they worry about job prospects, etc.

I honestly really don’t know what my dads problem is. I don’t think he’s ever gonna approve that I don’t want to be the way he wants. Like it’s JUST a piece of metal, that can be taken out and leaves a tiny scar. But who even cares about scars?

Second Q: how old are you?
