Discussions About Being Bald > Tattoos and Piercings
Maybe I should get pierced again...
IRONHORSE:
I think you're on the right track, Bro. You've already taken a big step in defining your new "look" by going sly (and may I say again how good it looks on you! O0) I certainly won't badmouth tattoos (I have 7) or piercings (left ear pierced twice - I come from a time when what ear you had pierced bespoke your sexual preference.) But settle in with the sly look for awhile, and spend some time thinking about what a tattoo or piercing would mean to you personally, and tell others about you. The tattoo artist/piercing person will still be there in a month, and a year. Then again, you may decide you don't want either, and that's cool too, because you'll still be rockin' the sly look O0
Scott:
I'm 29 going on 30 in a few days and I got my ears pierced back in January and love 'em - up to 4g and get compliments quite frequently. I wouldn't necessarily define what you're going through as a mid-life crisis - you're just trying to enhance your look. Go for it - you can always take them out if you don't like them. I think your ears look fine.
zetaeffe:
Ear rings look great with bald heads in my opinion,
so I say "go for it"
GASlick:
I say go for it too. But I believe it has been mentioned before, you have to take into account what your lifestyle is. for example, I own my own business and work in a hospital. Earrings are not really a good attribute for a salesman or a x-ray tech.
On the other hand if you're a rock star, tattoo artist, or something along those lines.....then no big deal. As far as tattoos, I have no real opinion. I have three and all are easily covered or shown as I choose depending on what I'm doing. Working - covered; At the pool - showing
Just my 2cents

That's all very true... about my lifestyle and such. I've sorta been at a crossroads in life, and the path of the whole rock star lifestyle still has it's appeal. I actually was on that path some years ago, but opted out due to my son... I had sorta given up on living that sorta edgy lifestyle after that... seeing the band I was in achieving fame and such and thinking I missed my opportunity.
I'm 28, though... I'm still young enough to rock, right? I took some years off to play Mr. Mom and attempt to tone down my lifestyle, but that might very well be the lifestyle I belong in.
It's all a somewhat complicated story... one day I may post a topic about it all as get some input from you guys because the past has a way of sticking around.
My hesitation and this "crisis" I mention has to do with that crossroads... about whether to head into the business world, law enforcement or become a teacher... or maybe I need to jump back into the music world and give the rock and roll lifestyle one more shot before I settle...
