Piercings Symbolism

yeah it used to have lots of meaning like on a girl apparently a left ear cartilige piercing means your a lez

but its just a bunch of bullshit… there isn’t meaning to them, its just self expression

Whoever told you that an earlobe piercing on the right ear is a sign that he’s gay was either lying to you or has never met a gay person. It’s a complete myth.

Whoever told you that is full of sh*t. Piercings don’t have “meanings”, they’re simply forms of body art and self expression. GUYS AND GIRLS CAN GET THEM. Just because a guy has his ear(s) pierced doesn’t make him gay. That’s stupid. They’re not meant to be gotten so you “look cool” or to “fit in”, they’re supposed to be gotten because you acutally want them. There’s NOTHING wrong with ANY piercing on a guy OR a girl… as long as they’re done professionally and properly cared for, there won’t be any issues with them.

shut up

I’m sorry to contradict…

Piercing meanings are not a rule.. its like a tattoo.. it doesn’t have to mean any thing but you can give it your own meaning

HOWEVER in some cultures having your right ear lobe pierced is symbol of homosexuality, but some people don’t do their research right.

Then again, even though in those cultures it means something doesn’t mean it has that meaning everywhere.

Back in the 80’s anyway the ear a man pierced often did indicate his sexual preference. The problem was that even back then it varied regionally. In one area an earing on the left side indicated hetero and in other areas it meant the opposite.

Today guys who wear earings generally choose whatever side they like best and some guys pierce both sides.
