In my opinion, any kind of piercing on guys is pretty gay, at least around where I live. Maybe it is popular where you live (Reno, NV), but IMO, I would never even think about it.
Well where I come from they arent homosexual at all unless you get piercings in both ears as a guy, and arent a goth trying to express something.
They're just for decoration, and to make your girlfriend horny as fuck...
Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...
