I (M22) and my girlfriend (F21) have a disagreement on me getting piercings, how do I proceed?

Okay so I’ve been with my girlfriend for 8 years now, we’ve grown up together and gone through a significant amount of hardships with one another. I feel as if I’ve really grown into my sense of style and individuality in the past 8 years and want to continue that trend, really embracing what I think would suit me. I posed the question of piercings as a little ‘hee hee ha ha’ hypothetical once when we were hanging out, trying to gauge her response, and she laid it out pretty fast, saying that it wouldn’t be attractive. Now normally I’d listen to her about a lot of things as she’s my partner and, naturally, I want to look attractive to her, but something about this kind of bugged me because I’ve always wanted piercings, I had a phase in high school where I thought lobe piercings would look great but grew out of that pretty fast, and now I’ve gone down rabbit hole after rabbit hole about eyebrow piercings and upper helix piercings to the point where I’m asking random people in my life if I’d look good with either.

So I decided to ask again, but in a more serious manner to show it’s something I do want, and she, once again, said ‘no, you wouldn’t look attractive, it’s not like haircuts where I have to get used to it, I feel like piercings would alter my entire image of you and really make it hard for me to stomach them’, now I want to preface this, she isn’t a cold person who is cynical about my looks or anything, this is a one off thing where she seems very adamant about it, we even joked about it afterwards and she said ‘maybe if, for some reason, we get divorced way in the future or something like that, but I genuinely can’t see myself finding them attractive’ I pressed on further to really dig into why she wouldn’t find them attractive, because I know her, and she doesn’t subscribe to the whole ‘men wearing earrings or eyebrow piercings are feminine’ spiel, she responds with ‘well idk, I think you’d just look… dirty? I think you wouldn’t look clean and it’ll just be that way’. So I’m somewhat at a loss, I’m not sure how this plays into individualism and autonomy in a relationship, but I wants outside input on how this would be resolved, if compromise is possible, or if I should drop it entirely. only reason I’m resorting to reddit is because I’m 22 and I feel like the older I get, the more socially unacceptable it would be for me to get something like that haha.

TL;DR - I want eyebrow / upper helix piercings and girlfriend said no because I would look dirty.
