+1 for sure.
Lynchy:
I have one ear gauges to 6mm at the moment, have the other pierced but nothing in it.
I also have my lipped pierced.
I work in an office environment and it hasn't caused me any bother TBH.

when they reach the maturity and think that it was all in vain, they'll quit it.
I never had one, or a tatoo, or any kind of "cool" stuff.

GEE Paul, I doubt anyone would have doubted that you would NEVER have had ANY kind of "cool" stuff. Anything "cool" would obviously be totally out of character for you.
I agree completely with friend Mikekoz13:
--- Quote from: Mikekoz13 on March 14, 2012, 02:26:05 PM ---I got them for me and not because I thought they were "cool".
What's really "cool" is not having to worry about whether or not other people think you're "cool".

I was fifty years old when I got my first tattoo, on a Friday before I went to court, not as the criminal defendant (as Paul would probably assume), but as the attorney for a corporate client. But I suppose I had not then "reach[ed] the maturity" as you so eloquently put it, because I didn't get my ears pierced until a few years later.
Again, Mikekoz13 perfectly explained my opinion about the "Paul the Headblader" post:
--- Quote from: Mikekoz13 on March 14, 2012, 02:26:05 PM ---The kind of people I don't get along with are shallow minded, judgemental, prejudiced, dickheads.

I think it strange, not to mention hypocritical, that a Headblader would find it necessary to marginalize and slander a rather large segment of the members of the SBG fellowship. But I doubt many of us were personally offended. I was just embarrassed that a fellow Sly Bald Guy would be so damned ignorant.
Ming the Merciless:
Just one "captured bead." But I'm in an environment where you can get away with almost anything (as long as it's legal), even if an earring is nearly unheard of in my colleagues. They might think certain things, but nothing negative can be done (if some folks should feel they would like to).
