I like it.

So I ! The cross is not quite my style. But you enjoy wearing it. And that's what counts.

I understand the differences of style, Mr. Jules.  I am enjoying wearing it. No one at church today even took a second look or said anything.  So either they did not notice, or chose to not say anything.

Got a funny facial expression from my oldest daughter when she first noticed it. I think it was a shock to see her Papa with a pierced ear. She got over it quickly.

Looks good, Mr. Z! I think it makes you look younger, myself...

Looks good, Mr. Z. 

Maybe the cross was a wise choice for your intro to the church people... how could they say anything negative?  -lol.


I think it goes well with the shaved head and beard.

Looks good! yes what could they say at church, I think it really suits you.

Ever had a tattoo done? Hmmm maybe something on the inner bicep, it will be there but not in everyone's faces including yours, except when you sneak a peak whilst your arm is up whilst shaving.

Do research first though, go to a good tattooIst with a good portfolio, even if they have a 6 month waiting list. I'm planting idea seeds aren't I, whoops :)
and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time

Looks good Zed! It's a nice look.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I play piano at one church, so I'm right up front. Nobody said anything. No stares or second takes!

The family and I are members at a different church. They had a road rally tonight with a picnic dinner to follow. So I was mingling right up close with lots of people tonight. Again, nobody said anything or gave second glances. I was watching for them. Did not see them.

My oldest daughter about dropped her jaw when she saw it.  Should have had it on film!  But she is OK with it. 

Crowbar, No, I don't have any tattoos.  I've always said, if you want a tattoo, you should wait until you are in the 70's. Then it will look good for the rest of you life. No fading, no blurring, or migrations.  Not ready for that.

Thanks to all on the 'younger looks'.  I do think that it looks good with the bald head, and I really really like being bald. (BBC).

Thanks to all for your votes of "Go for it", (most of you). 

We'll see what gets said at the office tomorrow if anything.  It is not a violation of dress code, so that's not an issue.

I say go for it! let the wife buy the diamond this time! b!n&

Actually, the wife had a set of diamond studs which I bought her for our wedding in 1983.  A few years ago she lost one of them. Still has the other one. Once my piercing heals up (six weeks or so),  she can give me the diamond this time and I can wear it.

Bet you did not think that this was coming!

Looking good.  The diamond in the future will also be a good look.

Looking good, mrzed! And a diamond is always a good choice as it can be worn with anything.
Hair is over rated.

The diamond is in my wife's jewelry box.  I have to stay with Tue starter stud for six weeks for proper healing.  Then can change the stud.
