Earrings in the workplace

<< < (8/8)

VOT:
Had 1 ear pierced for years, although over the last 10 years wore it only outside work. Last year girlfriend suggested I get the other pierced. Thought I would give it a go as I had thought about it occasionally. Now I keep them both in all the time. Have had comments obviously but not one negative comment,  just surprise, interest (it is surprising the number of guys who want to do it but feel they cant) or compliments. Just do it I say as you can always take it out again but I do suggest that you leave in for a month before deciding if its for you or not.

I guess it depends where you work, I have one ear piercing, had it for 30 years, just a very small silver hoop, I've worked in the motor trade, retail sector and engineering, and was never a problem, the only job where I never wore it was when I worked for the PGA (professional golfers association) I didn't where it to the interview, as I knew it wouldn't be acceptable, never been an issue...you don't get an earing to "be cool" anyone thinking that or doing that, just doesn't get it....but hey, we all have different belief's. ..and without those kinda people...us "cool kids" wouldn't be cool!

there's not an issue with guys with earrings at my workplace. I work in an office setting and there are not a lot of guys in the office (maybe 10). There are only 2 of us who have earrings and we both have them in both ears.

There is a warehouse as well at my workplace, and there are about 6 guys out there who have both ears pierced.

No one has said anything negative to me about my earrings. A few people have complimented me on them. Oddly enough it was my boss (female mid 50's) who suggested I get my right ear pierced to match my already pierced left ear after I started wearing it again last year after I turned 50. So I did it and have worn earrings in both ears ever since that day last fall.

Some of the women in the office have nose studs or rings, none of they guys have anything in their nostrils. So there's not an issue there either.

so my company is pretty laid back as far as pierced ears and noses go. I've never heard any negative comments about anyone sporting ear or facial piercings.

I'm not sure how they would be with large gauges, tho. No one either in the office or the warehouse has gauged ears. Not sure if there is a rule about that or not.
