My daughter is 17 and heavily into the punk scene. She’s actually toned down this year – she apparently got tired of dying her hair wild colors. She started with the hair coloring at about your age. Frankly, I never had a problem with that aspect, but I couldn’t tell you why. We’ve had plenty of arguments about piercings. They really bug me, and I put my foot down. But at 17 she does have a lot of freedom, and she got there by earning my trust slowly: good grades, no messing around with alcohol or drugs, being where I expect her to be, calling when I tell her to, and being home when she’s agreed to be. When she was younger, she broke some of those rules and spent some time grounded. But as long as she proves she’s responsible, she gets a long leash.

Bottom line: Prove yourself. Earn your parents’ trust. Maybe buy one outfit, and show that it doesn’t immediately mean you’re in a slacker crowd and letting your grades slip.
