Should I get a piercing even though my mom says no?
I really want an eyebrow ring, but my mom says no. I'm 18 so I could still get if I wanted. I also want another set of ear holes above the first set, in the bottom lobe. She also says no to that, but she has three holes in each ear, so why? What do you think? I added a picture in case you wanted to see if I should get an eyebrow ring.

No, you should not. I think if your mother is still supporting you, then you should accept her decision. Furthermore, just because she has three piercings in each ear, doesn't mean you should. To trot out an old standby (which your mom probably already did): if all your friends jumped in the river, would you?

well, as you said you are 18 so technically you are an adult. and the parents are no longer required to support you financially in any way. you're old enough to go to war for our country. however are you on your own? do you support yourself? if you're still living off your parents then you're not really independent yet. and the fact is you are concerned about what your mom thinks or you wouldn't have asked about it on here. so the ultimate decision is up to you, but it does sound like you care what your mom thinks and I think that is considerate of you. after all, for the most part our moms are the only people in the world who really have our best interest at heart. i believe she has good reasons for asking you not to get the piercings. i hope i helped but in the end you have to decide what to do.

hmm, youre 18 I would do it. But there are other things to consider. If she is the type that says "my house my rules" youre screwed b/c she can kick you out and if you still get grounded then you dont want to risk that.
But on another note, if it were me I would lighten the load by just getting my ears done first and see how she takes it. Just tell her you really wanted to get it done and there is obviously nothing wrong with it if she has it done and that you cant be her little girl forever.

What you need to be thinking about is not whether you should get the peircing, but whether you can afford to live on your own. If the answer is no, then while your under mom's roof you need to follow mom's rules. being of the age of majority does not suddenly mean you can make all your own decisions- for that, you need to be an independent, employed adult.

You've got enough going on with your face since you wear glasses. Don't add more metal to your face.
I have two holes in each ear and I enjoy wearing my diamond studs. The bottom is a larger diamond and the top stud is smaller.
