Just curious - why are you so annoyed? Were you brought up to see piercings and tattoos as "defacing the body" and think I'm being morally wrong? Or are you simply in a bad mood? Also, why would they feel sorry for my parents?
Covering an eyebrow piercing is pretty tough. I would have to wear a band-aid over it 24-7, seeing that I don't want the piercing to heal if I ever take out the ring. I realize that I'm going to Japan for an immersion, but I don't believe in completely giving up myself and my personality for a full year. I also don't want to come back to the USA and have to get my eyebrow pierced again. That's where I'm coming from, and why I'm really trying to see what the general Japanese reaction might be, before I make any choices.
