I have been contimplating getting an industrial piercing (solid metal bar throuhg 2 holes in the ear) through my left ear. you think i should go for it?
-
If that's something that you will be proud to wear and will enjoy having, then go for it! Though, won't you have to take that out for your MMA practices?
-
If you are still into MMA you will not be able to fully heal something like that. Would normally take a good 2 months to heal properly, obviously messing with your training routine bro.

I was contemplating having a platinum rod--albeit hypoalergenic--surgically inserted into each of my pupils.

Is that so you can always keep a sparkle in your eye?

Robmeister: seriously?? Why would you do that? I wouldn't want anybody to mes with my eyes if it was purely for decorative purposes. :/ (being a near-sighted mole myself makes me very aware of the importance of good eyes)

No, I wasn't serious....I'm not going to have them SURGICALLY inserted....I'm going to do it myself. I figure if I just get really friggin drunk, it won't hurt as much. Then what I have to do is drill little holes in all my eye glasses to slide them onto my nose......but then I'd be committed to only looking straight ahead. Maybe I should make more of an elongated slot rather than just a hole. I dunno. 8)

I'm beginning to think we have more than just one comedian on this site... :D

hey, you never know, I mean look up the definition of a "Prince Albert" and look nito genital bisection, frankly I think those people are insane but they still have done it.

Just plain wrong!!! :o

Understandable there is some strange stuff out there. You got to do what your heart tells you to do after you think it through, but some things are just a bit too much.

...some things are just a bit too much.Â
So maybe I _shouldn't_ get hammered and jab platinum rods into my eyes. Well, ok... ;)

I am all about personal expression, but come on. Really. I am not sure if you are serious or just yanking our chain. But I believe Professor Mellon said it right. Be cool and stay away from those kind of practices. You do not know what tomorrow brings and you dont know what mindset you will have 5 years from now. Find another way of expressing yourself, like Yetti's cool tat. I have 23 differant tattoos and when I want to express myself I just dress so as everyone can see, almost in your face. But there are times where it is not a good idea to show them too. And the older I get the more I seem to feel that more true. After saying that I have an appointment to get a half sleeve as soon as I come in form offshore. Think long and hard about it and I am sure you will make a decision you can live with for many years.
Peace Brother. Hope all works out.

Of COURSE I'm yanking your chain. :D I tried to be as over-the-top absurd as I could. When SBG asked if I was really serious about the surgical procedure....I thought I better take it up a notch. But I guess with the ridiculous things people do these days I should have said something like...oh...I dunno....I was going to hack off my left hand with my buddy's machete and surgically replace it with a giant solid gold #1 finger that says, "Go Broncos!!" ;)

Tyler caught on to my ploy early on.
Professor is not afraid to give heartfelt advice....maybe the asininity of my goal didn't even dignify a response. :)

That's being very kind and open minded. I would have probably said, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN' MIND, MAN?!?!?!?" ;)
-
See what you started, Rob ;). Now we have the chance of some of our members getting smashed and gabbing rods in their eyes. ;D :o
-
This would not qualify as INDUSTRIAL piercing....but I do have pierced ears--both right and left--left over from the music business days.
<----------------For this middle-aged, family/businessman one tatt and two pierced ears is WILD.
-
Well for what it is worth coming from a "corporate chameleon" you should not do anything you cant remove or cover with no or little traces. My arms are covered in Tats, more than just whats in my avatar, and my ears are pierced with guaged earrings. However when I put on a corp uniform you cannot tell. The worst is that I have to wear a sleeved undershirt to hide the color under a white shirt.
But if you can remove it without it looking like you are deformed why not?
Expression should be personal, not so you can be individual, just like everyone else!

I hear ya PhlintRock! Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!
-
Good philosophy PhlintRock, Welcome to SBG!
-
I agree with the others...nice philospohy,Plntrock...i think a lot of younger guys, just going for it will come to find the real world might not be so accepting of their personal choices of neck/hand or showing area tattoos....
Welcome dude!

I'll have to disagree with yoda here. A piercing is no biggie, Tats are. try it if you don't like it, or if it causes problems, then take it out and let it close. worst case scenario, your left with a couple small bumps, on your ears. Piercings are only a disfigurement while they're in. The professor probably got a fairy tattoo on his butt when he twenty. and now it looks like a wrinkled lawn gnome.

Good one! I'm with yah brother, with my 00g lobes out you can hardly tell that I had them stretched at all. Professionally pierced holes typically heal/disfigure less than the "gun" piercings. Which btw everyone, CANNOT BE STERILIZED. Think about that one.
-
told my wife i was gonna peirce my ears and she got pissed off. woman is crazy.
-
Bald_freak. I just got a mental image of a wrinkly lawn gnome butt tattoo and needless to say, it wasnt pretty at all.
I have had a dozen or so piercings in my lifetime and I dont regret any of them. All have been removed except my 5/8" ear tunels.
If you are offended by them or think they are ugly or unneccessary,well...You know where to put it.
