How is the earring on guys seen in Japan?

Answer 1

Teen boys are wearing earring. It's OK.

But if you are an adult and working, earring is often seen as inappropriate.

Answer 2

i think the myth amongst japnese bois are that if you have it on your right ear, youre supposed to be g*y.

Answer 3

Its like a rebel thing in japan. When you are in school, teenagers are not allowed to dye their hair or pierce their ears including girls. The rule is there to keep students looking like actual students.

But its kinda accepted but they might refer you as a "bad boy".
