Do earrings look better on Bald White Guys than harry white guys?
BillOnBass:
Hi Daven,
Not sure about it being more "acceptable" but I personally like the symmetry of both lobes being pierced. I started out with a single left lobe piercing last October and decided to get the right one pierced this January.
@ buddha, stretching a piercing should be a pain-free process if done correctly. I was a little nervous about stretching up from 10g to 8g (2.4mm to 3mm), but I waited a few months until both piercings were fully healed and used jojoba oil to lube my ears and the steel plugs and had a very pleasant and sensation-free stretch. I recently dead-stretched (putting plug straight in with no taper) from 8g to 6g (3mm to 4mm) with no pain again. Patience is key.

Me too wear thick rings, 5 mm rings on both ears most of time.
Anyway I can wear also 6mm tunnels on both ears, that I wear with thin rings passing through.
It's not that painful to have your ears pierced, nothing compared piercing other sensitive parts such as nipples. Go for it, bald heads go great with earrings
Daven:
Thanks guy's. I am a rather conservative person generally so as much as your earrings are cool for you, I don't think big is better for me. this is the size of the ring's I have. I am going to wear both for a few days and see what people say. The funny thing is my wife (who doesn't like my earrings didn't even notice today, I guess the bald head distracts her, LOL
buddha:
I have piercings already, 2 in the left and one in the right that are all usable although I generally only wear one in the left ear.
But what is involved in the process of "stretching" and putting the metal rim in the earlobe and is it best to have that done by a professional?
Oh, and to get back to the original topic (which I think I hijacked) I think it depends on the guy and type of hairstyle. When I had long hair I wore a style of earrings that I think were better for long hair, the kind that dangle an inch or more. Since going sly I only wear studs or hoops or the bent barbells. I don't think a dangling earring would look good on me now.

I recommend doing any stretching by yourself. You save money by not going to a piercer and, more importantly, you're the only one who can judge if your ears are ready to be stretched. No one but yourself can tell if you are experiencing pain or discomfort. Plus you can go at your own pace during the actual process (which should be very slowly). Piercers tend to just shove the taper in there quickly from videos I've seen.
