I'm thinking of getting a small ear piercing. left ear. What do you guys think?
-
DO IT MAN!
Doesn't really even have to be a small one or just in the left. I wear a 12 ga captive ball in each ear. Of course I've had pierced ears since before they were real popular among guys (mid 80s). And I don't care what people think of me with regard to the earrings (or anything else for that matter) unless it's got something to do with me being able to have a roof and food.
-
You're way too old for that! That's for young guys!
NOT!!!!!!
I say go for it!
-
You've certainly progressed from less than two years ago when you were still thinking about going from #1 to sly.
I've also been thinking along the same lines but despite encouragement from some others on this board anf a couple of friends here I still can't take that step - and I'm 72 tomorrow. As well as being sly for 9 years.
-
Go for it! Guys with pierced ears are a lot more mainstream than we used to be.
-
Wife was a little surprised when I brought it up, but did not come right out and say NO.
Suggested I ask my daughters rather than surprise them.
-
Do it. Nothing stopping you.
-
I've had my ear pierced for over 30 years...its completely accepted and no age restrictions lol...do it
-
Go for it!
-
You guys make me feel like I've already done it.

You've got a point. I have made some significant changes in the past 2 years. If I get one, I can set the example for you, Nuts. You need a close friend to nudge you on. Just like shaving your head, you can always take the earring out and the small hole will close over (hair will grow back).
-
If you do we'll see.
-
Go for it! Post a picture when you do the deed!
-
Go for it, Mr Zed.
I really want to get one or both ears done myself. Just wondering about how it will go down at the office.
-
Been thinking about it for a while myself. Comes down to mall or tat shop.
-
If you ask your daughters chances are pretty high they might say no. I tend to think not asking anyone with things like that is best, if you want one, get one. If someone doesn't like it, oh well.
-
One daughter said YES. Did not ask the others, but they will be OK with it. They all have piercing.

+1 O0.
-
If you want to do it just do it. It isnt a big deal anymore
Mr Jules - Dont worry about work if you are good at your job and smartly dressed, I think you will find they could not care less.
-
Guess if one is bold enough to shave his head when he does not have to, he can be bold enough to sport a pierced ear stud when he does not have to.
Don't think I've heard a negative comment from the whole lot of you plus some other's I've asked who know me pretty well.
Thumbs up all around.
-
I say go for it! let the wife buy the diamond this time! b!n&
-
I think you should do what feels good. I actually think earrings on men is quite dated. I had it in the 80's but took it out years ago and actually can't really think of anyone that I know that now have an earring (apart from ear tunnels which I have to say I as a look I hate) it just doesn't seem to be something a lot of people rock.
I also say (and this is my personal opinion please don't shoot me) I think earrings on older gentlemen can look a little bit desperate. Like trying to cling onto a part look (Like I say I equate the look to be dated).
Oh god, I feel awful now!! Sorry but you did ask, ha ha!
-
I say go for it! let the wife buy the diamond this time! b!n&
Good idea!
-
Yep. It's like shaving your head. It's a choice.
I did it. I like it. Photo shortly to prove it happened. I know. If there's no photo it did not happen, lol.

Excellent! You went for it :) I'm looking forward to seeing the pic.
You do realise that just like with shaving related stuff the sky is the limit! You will now find yourself looking at all the choices you have for ear rings and studs etc
Then of course you will need a nice storage case for them, so that when you open it there they all are, all neatly set out and sparkling away
-
Been thinking about it for a while myself. Comes down to mall or tat shop.
Nix on the mall idea. Tat shops or places that specialize in piercing are a better idea for a lot of reasons not the least of which is....do you really want some 18 year old chick who still says, oh, wow, or awesome, or "cute" as an integral part of their conversation to stick a needle through you whilst chewing gum and simultaneously not thinking? If you have tats, patronize a place with which you have a connexion. If not, consult someone who has more than one piercing for their idea; I'll bet you a closed ring that they do not suggest the mall.
-
Mall experience was fine. Piercer was a mid-30's something lady.
Said, I bet you don't pierce 60 year old men very often. She broke out in laughter and said, NO. I was satisfied with services. She offered to let me hold the teddy bear while ... Didn't need it.
Picture is ready, just need to shrink it for posting.

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

I like it.

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 :)
-
Looks good Zed! It's a nice look.
-
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.
-
Glad you like it. I still think it looks a bit 80's tho, sorry!
-
I probably am a bit 80 ish anyway.
-
Hope you enjoy it - - -Where is the DIAMOND?
NOW go for the TATTOO - - -and you will be really "IN"
-
What's wrong with tattoo's?
-
Hope you enjoy it - - -Where is the DIAMOND?
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.
-
I like it! I like the cross too!
-
Nice feedback from the Senior VP at work. Said he wants to shave his head one of these days and get an earring, too! Sounded serious! I took it as a compliment.
Very positive feedback overall from those who noticed. Thanks guys, for your feedback, too. Been a very positive experience.
-
The president of our organization came by this afternoon during an open house this afternoon. Asked about the new ear piercing. I explained. He gave a huge thumbs up of support!

You've had a piercing ?
Where ? On view or discreet ?
-
in my ear in the pic lol
-
I hadn't checked the forum in a couple of months and saw this thread...
I had to respond, as I actually got a double ear piercing (hoops in the left ear) on 8/1. Had been thinking about it for some time....and decided to go for it. I was debating getting both ears done, but thought I should test the waters with just one ear...but decided to get a double, just to stand out a bit
And other than a couple of "Mr. Clean" comments, no one has really said anything...so either they don't like it and are polite enough not to be hurtful, or they just don't care (I'm thinking it's probably the second)
My mother hasn't seen it..I'm sure she'll have some choice negative things to say about it....but...what can you do?
So....Congrats on your choice Mr. Zed....I think it looks good on you! O0
-
Where is the pic, Ozz? O0
-
Ok did it, not meaning to hi jack your thread
Not a problem, no hijack reaction perceived.
Left ear? Both? Or inverted picture?
-
both
-
Looking good, OU!
-
Was just discussing with my daughter yesterday (dropped her off at college today) about the possibility of getting a piercing. I am thinking just the left ear, but she thinks the single ear piercing look is outdated and that I should get both pierced - to which I reminded her that at my age, I can certainly get away with a look she deems as outdated.
Still looking at just one ear but am open to suggestions.

Or possibly just an ear cuff ... I'm still very much in the early stages of deciding...
-
I don't see to see cuffs too much anymore. It's been years, in fact. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm guessing that was just a fad. Personally, I've got both ears pierced but I wear only one earring, a small diamond stud in my left ear.
-
Still looking at just one ear but am open to suggestions.
I kind of agree with your daughter. Not in that the single ear would look "outdated", but in that I think both ears pierced looks pretty good on a guy.
-
So....Congrats on your choice Mr. Zed....I think it looks good on you! O0
Thanks. It's been one month this weekend. I'm really enjoying the earring. Think it goes well with the SLY head.
-
You've got me thinking, Mr Zed.
-
Got my left lobe pierced in 1989 and have a small collection of very nice ear rings. Some small gold hoops, some small diamonds -- nothing flashy. Professional Business to lawn care labor guys have ear piercings and tats .... and shaved heads or MPB sly ... so mainstay today. Well ... I have not gotten to the tats yet. Maybe I should have my head tatted to look like I have stubble ... LOL >:D
-
You've got me thinking, Mr Zed.
Yes, a nice simple stud or CBR on the left ear goes well with a shaved dome.
-
It does go well i gotta stud , now doing voluntary work in a stately home so wont wear earings like hoops but a stud and smart attire is fine welcoming overseas visitors
-
. . . I actually got a double ear piercing (hoops in the left ear) on 8/1. . . I was debating getting both ears done, but thought I should test the waters with just one ear...but decided to get a double, just to stand out a bit
I think you should go ahead now and get the other ear done, Ozz. If you get in the water deeply enough to get one ear wet, it's really hard to keep the other one dry. O0
-
Two months in now. Really enjoying the earring. Have a few studs and a few small hoops that hug the ear lobe.
-
OK. I've been laughing all day.
20 years ago a fellow that I've worked with came to the office wearing a magnetic earring, just to razz the trainer. It worked. The trainer was red in the face. How to I address this guy with the earring. How inappropriate to wear that to work.
The joke was on him, as the magnetic earring came off at just the right time.
Today I sent my friend a photo of me with the my earring, remembering back to this story and my friend replied, "LOL. I got my ear pierced a year ago. I wear a gold nugget stud earring which I purchased in Alaska almost 20 years ago, and never got the piercing until a year ago. Now I wear it all the time. Really helps when I'm on college campuses. The students related better to this older guys with an ear piercing!"
I've been chuckling all day to think that my former co-worker and I both have ear piercings now! Made my day.
-
Hey Nuts, I am going to turn 60 in June and I just got my first ear piercing two weeks ago! Very few people even mentioned it, (which usually means they don't like it). My 83 year old Mother didn't like it at all!!!. My gearhead buddy who is only 50 thinks I am having a second mid-life crisis and is genuinely concerned about it. My significant other (female) hasn't seen it yet but if her reaction is anything like it was to the first time she saw my new tattoo - SHE WILL HATE IT!
I LIKE IT SO I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS.
I figure that at my age, if I don't do it now, then when?
There are very few things I have done in my life that i regret - but there are a lot of things that I failed to do when I had the chance, and these I do regret!
-
Hairy1,
What did you get? Left earring stud? It's been a few weeks. How are you enjoying it? Any further reception comments from the community?
-

Just got upper ear done :)
-
I do not mean this to sound condescending. It isn't. I am honestly surprised, and sad, that in 2014, any guy feels so reluctant and worried about getting an earring. It's no secret that the U.S. differs radically from place to place, in values and beliefs and customs. It's just hard to believe, reading this thread, that it's to this extreme degree.
I second the sentiment that life is short. Any one of us, regardless of our age, could keel over tomorrow. I also agree that I've regretted little I've done, but definitely things I haven't done, opportunities that have passed that I did not take.
It's your body. Your wives and boyfriends and bosses don't own it. If your wife gets bent about something as small as an earring, well, there's probably a deeper dysfunction related to control or insecurity. Or she's looking for small things to complain about because the big ones are too scary to crack open.
You guys might look at my picture and say WELL, you're obviously in a different world, that you can wear those tattoos. But I am not fundamentally different from any of you. An earring in your locale and workplace and family is probably about as daring as a big nose ring in mine, or maybe a hand tattoo. I have never seen anyone in San Francisco with face tattoos as large and prominent as mine. I have stepped way outside the norm, even for San Francisco. I have received only compliments and enjoyed only success in my job. But I wear them with pride and aplomb. Projecting confidence makes all the difference. Even if it's about something as small as an earring.
-
Crowbar, the upper jewelery looks like a cuff rather than a piercing. Perhaps it is both?
-
Steeltoe, believe it or not I know a guy, bald,also in San Francisco, with far more tattoos on head than you've got. He's also got the same nose ring and several piercings in both ears. Personally it's not my style but he pulls it off quite well. Last time I saw him he was working as an editor, newspaper I think. As far as I know, nobody ever gave him any grief for any it.
-

You are way too sharp! :) hah
Yes it's a cuff, my local jeweller said they can put a post on it once I decide that I want it.... lets say more permanent
-
My ear piercing (ring) doesn't have a "Captive Bead" or any other apparent way to open it. My piercer did such a good job that I cannot even find the seam in it. I never have to worry about taking it out (because I can't), I never have to worry about whether it is turned the right way, and I never have to worry about losing it.
If I were you, I would have my piercer make a REAL cuff by placing three small "bead-less" rings right next to each other on the top of your ear to look just like the fake "cuff" you are wearing in this photo. Since there is mostly cartilage up there this will work really well - no chance of "drift"
Real is always better than fake. (E.g. a razor shaved head vice a short buzzcut, or a real mohawk vice a "faux hawk")
-
Yep I had to agree with your last paragraph BBBA. Nice as that Thomas Sabo ear cuff is, It wasn't sitting right with me either. I had to make it real
She's put these in to start and in a month we'll see what smaller diameter bead-less looks like. She wanted to go bigger and loose just whilst it heals
I've had 30 hours of tattooing done on my left arm but by piercing number 3! I was pretty much done! Hah I'm a softy
I also decided to have these put on a little lower than the cuff, kind of the 1/3, 2/3 thing
(https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F14%2F05%2F03%2Fegyry9a6.jpg&hash=f2d26154fcfb66cfc73a48a141b0f50b80931d6e)
-
Looking at that it looks like I need a bigger one in my lower ear now but I may as well just wait a month and see then what it looks like with the smaller diameter rings
-
P.s I disagree with the razor shaved head vs short buzzcut part though...
Don't get me wrong I have been shaving my head for a while and people here on the board know I am a big advocate of the Headblade ATX or Edwin Jagger DE89 for head shaving.
But since I have grown a goatee lately and now starting on sideburns, I just want the look of a buzz cut at the moment
In a few months I may go back to head shaving :) but I don't see anything wrong with a buzzcut, it's not a copout. It's real
-
Today marks 9 months since I got my ear pierced. I really like it. Change the stud daily just for variety.
-
Still like the cross the best? I thought it looked cool ...
-
Wow Crowbar! I have to say that looks really good! Now I am jealous! It really sits well. I just don't think that I have the cojones - perhaps just before I go to Burning Man?
And I do like the buzzcut with the sidies as well!.
Good on you!
-

Yes, almost always wear a cross of some sort.

Thank you BBBA, you were actually the catalyst for me deciding to get it done because what you said about making it real put how I was feeling into words :)
Go for it! It does hurt a lot but it's all over in 10 minutes, by then you'll either be still awake or passed out hah! :) just joking.
Overall it was a huge adrenaline rush getting three at once and I am still on a high
Also I've never ever, ever had sideburns, so it's fun seeing them grow in and shaping them as well...
I have seen people with shaved heads and sideburns, so I guess I could try that sometime
-
Looks good crowbar. I have one cartilage piercing in similar place. Making me think I should get another 2 done.
-
For some while I had both ears pierced with a good sized stud in each one. Then I had my shoulder replaced and the hospital, as is routine, removes all the piercings. Fine. (They couldn't get my tats and I believe they were slightly disappointed.) When I was finally released from the hospital and the rehab centre about five weeks later the holes had grown completely closed. My doctor even said that was unusual particularly as I'd had them for several years.
I think one's own confidence in themselves and their ability very quickly obviates any criticism. There are those who will not approve, feel it's "feminine" for a guy (I suggest they look at a portrait of Genghis Khan for a refutation of that idea....) or that it's not "appropriate" to whatever their job may be. Six weeks ago I was back in surgery and my anesthesiologist, age 55, had quite a find looking diamond in his left ear. Apparently it didn't interfere with his work as I went easily to "sleep" and woke right on schedule....
-

I knew a guy who did the sideburns with shaved head look for a while. It did look cool, and unusual. He did not keep a razor shave, just a 0 buzz, while the sideburns were longer, probably around a #2 or 3. You could always give it a try, and if you don't like it, buzz the sideburns back to the same length as the head. Just post a photo first.
-
with that hat and boe tie you have on in your pic, i'm pretty sure you could rock ANY look!!!!!
-
Hi VOT if you decide to get two more, I highly recommend getting one done, let it heal for a month or two and then get the next.
The reason being is that if you get two, or more side by side, the inflammation spreads out and hits the inflammation spreading out from the one next to it.
This can cause major swelling and irritation and slower healing and potentially more scar tissue buildup.
I now know this because I made the mistake of pushing my piercer to do all three at once. Big mistake!
All is finally settling now but it's been a hard road and there is still swelling in that area, even though we are getting up to a month and half since I had it done.
There is no way I will be able to change these for smaller rings for at least another month or so I reckon and I have only just started being able to sleep on that side ...
-
Why not go for it.
Roger
-
Yep, Crowbar is right. Inspired by Crowbar I got the first of three cartilage piercings two weeks ago today. It is still swollen. My piercer explained that these take a long time to heal because the cartilage has no blood supply of its own and must rely on the skin around the hole for blood to heal the wound. He will make me wait at least a month to 6 weeks between each piercing.
-
That makes sense. Standard ear piercing takes 6-8 weeks before you're supposed to change out your jewelery. I found it was OK at 6 weeks, but still a little tender on the inside. By 8 weeks, I could change easily.
-
I' d wanted to pierce my left ear since I was a kid, but never did it. I had a very young face and a lot of blond hair and I figured I'd look like a girl. Well, not such a young face now and no more hair.
With a little bit of encouragement from Mr. Zed, I had it pierced last week. My daughter came with me. She thought I was joking. We separated a bit and when we met up, it was done. She was quite surprised. My wife laughed and contributes it to a mid life crisis. However, I didn't do it to feel young, I did it because I wanted to. And I do like it, although it brings attention to my enormous ears!
-
If this is a mid-life crisis - I'll take a crisis!
-
@Mike E P, it looks as good with your bald head. Dome and ear piercing are equally shiny!
Congratulations. Fulfillment of a long time wish.
-
Congratulations Mike,
I think there comes a point when we realize it's time to fulfill some personal wants and have the character/courage to own the decision.
Well done.
-
I am relieved to learn that piercing your ear is a sign of a mid life crisis. Since in your pictures you appear to be a jaded 35-40 that resonates with me. I just had my nipples pierced and I won't see 70 again. Following this skewed logic, I'm just barely past a mid life crisis so it will be okay if I buy a BMW and grow a strip of hair down the middle of my head as a sort of Mohawk. Looking back, I don't remember when or if I had a mid life crisis. Perhaps I was too busy and have delayed it until now....
-
Congrats Mike on following through with it...Are you going to wear it to school, or is that against the dress code?
-

I'm not exactly sure what a mid life crisis is. At 50, I guess I qualify. If wishing you were 25 again is a mid life crisis, then I am constantly in one ...
-
Congrats Mike on following through with it...Are you going to wear it to school, or is that against the dress code?
Harry, I never thought to check the dress code. The district is a stickler for jeans and sneakers, but I'm not sure about an earring for males. I would think it's okay. Some of the boys wear them. Having said that, I'm not so sure how our Central Office people will feel about it. I get a lot of comments about my bow ties and colored socks so I figure they will just think this is just another piece of my dress.
-
I dont think it is a mid life crisis I think you just reach a certain age and you stop worrying about what others might think and gain the confidence to do what you want to do. Congrats Mike EP

How ties, colored socks and an earring. Sounds likes a winning combination to me! Congratulations, btw.

Did your school even notice?

Yes, Mike.... did you get called into the principal's office? :x!
-
Roger,
We are on summer break. The school is open and the principal is there, but I try to stay away. I don't have to go back until August 20th for a department meeting, then I think we are back for good on the 24th.
Mike, my principal is pretty tough. She may call me in for a good paddling! >:D
-
It's been 1 year since I had my ear pierced.
I still like it. I've not gone an hour without something in there. Just a minute or two each morning to change out the stud. To celebrate, I'm wearing the original stud today.
Mr. Zed.
-
Good on you Mr. Z! I too waited until I was almost 60 to get my ear pierced.
Mike E.P. I'll bet your principal doesn't say anything - unless it is something light-hearted.
My piercer just called me. He said that my custom made ear cuff is on its way. I hope to have it in with two weeks. I will "try" to take a photo for you guys.
-
Mike, my principal is pretty tough. She may call me in for a good paddling! >:D
She may put you in detention. Lol!

Unless the principal looks more like Miss Honey, then I would assume you are hoping for a good spanking-- ;)

Now, Now. Mike EP is on vacation with his wife and probably ignoring this thread. He better be taking a vacation from SBG. Too much to see and do where he went!
-
Mike, my principal is pretty tough. She may call me in for a good paddling! >:D
She may put you in detention. Lol!
"TO THE CHOKEY!!!!!"

Unless the principal looks more like Miss Honey, then I would assume you are hoping for a good spanking-- ;)
:*)) That was a good movie.

Ah, I see I am not the only one here whose mind went in that direction!

I finally put my rings back in after many years.

Looks good Jeff. I wore CBRs for years, then I jumped on the gauging bandwagon. I'm wearing 1/2 inch (~13mm) plugs or tunnels at present.

Looks good Jeff! The silver rings go well with the colors in your goatee. Mine is "rose gold" but there is no bead in it. It is just a ring that was put in with a special tool. I cannot remove it by myself, (unless I use a side cutter!).
The latest word from my piercer is that my 3/8" ear cuff will arrive this coming Monday.
-
Looks good Jeff but I may be biased as have the same look, bald, grey goattee and silver ball closure hoops
-
CBR's have a distinct look. Goes well with a bald head and beard.

Looking great!

Hi Guys. Thanks for the positive feedback - it's much appreciated!
-
looks good Jeff, i like the captive ball, does it ever fall??

a lot of people in my country thinks that if dude has piersing he is 100% gay fuckind stereotypes >:( its ambarasing that not only old generation thinks like that but a young one too
p.s i am not against gay people

But it is sad that the rest of the world hasn't come as far as SBG where whether one is gay or straight is simply a matter of "so what?"

I, like Mr. Zed, am 60ish. Recently I buzzed my head with #1 and like it a lot- am thinking of shaving it completely to get rid of the gray fuzz left. Also, to my surprise, I've gotten all-positive comments about it. I've also tossed around the left earring thing for a long time, but I've not had the "guts" to do it, at least not until now. I don't think my wife would be on board-yet, and my social situation, which is almost 100% church related (I'm very satisfied with that, btw) would not really go for it either. So, I'm left with this. I've wondered if there is a kind of retainer that would be almost invisible that I could put in while the piercing is healing. Then I could "work" on the family and others. If the piercing is healed, I could, of course, wear the earring when I wished.
Kind of disjointed, but I've wondered about this.
-
Earrings really aren't my thing but I don't understand why this is such a polarizing issue in some circles.

Hi Okie, I'm in that 60ish club too. I was almost all grey by 35yo. A couple of advantages of shave the grey hair is it makes you look younger, and you won't have any shadow of a hair line at all. I like to keep my head tanned and shiny!
Mike

Shave the grey away! I have the same issue. A couple days of growth and its all silver stubble. Yikes!
Since this topic about ear rings was raised, I have taken note and surprised by the number of older guys with earrings. I never really thought about it before, but I think it's pretty cool to be sporting rings. I say go for it. I would say all the rings or studs have been very tasteful.
-
Thanks to Mr. Zed's encouragement, I got my left ear pierced at 50. My wife initially laughed at me and my kids were perplexed by it. But is was something I always wanted to do and now six months later, I'm happy I did it and I like it. My family got used to it quickly and I only had to tolerate a minimal amount of ribbing. I work in an elementary school and was concerned how that would look to the administration and to parents, but no one even bat an eye.

Hey Mike:
Can you post a photo of yourself with your piercing?

Well then Slybald, perhaps it is up to you to set a new style and change the minds of people in your area - go get your ears pierced! It looks great with a sly head!

I live in a very conservative and Christian context. The comments about my earring have been minimal. Among closest friends, there was a little bit of teasing, but in good humor context. Be sure you know why you are getting the earring and that you can give a short 'elevator' talk about it to answer questions that come up.
When you get your ear pierced, you need to wear the jewelery 24/7 for about 8 weeks before you take it out or change it up. You do clean it regularly, but you don't remove it. While there are retainers which can be inserted when you don't want to pierced look, you really can't use them until after 8 weeks, and by then, people are used to it, so it is a moot point, unless it's an issue at work that earrings on men are prohibited.
I like variety, so I change my earring daily, but that 1-2 minutes for the change is the only time I go without my something in my piercing.
I'll PM with more details.

Randy, this photo was taken about a month ago. I think people don't comment because I usually wear this small hoop or a small ball and they are not screaming for attention.

i think i will get it but i am afraid if it wont fit me ???

I am starting to consider getting my ear pierced I don't think I could do my lobes maybe one cartilage when I finish school I want to go work on cruse ships and from what I've read I can't have earings so I thought maybe a cartilage ring would work it would be easily hidden

Damn Sam! You really look good! I can't even imagine you with hair you look so good!
Your earring hoop is just a tad bit thicker than mine. And you are absolutely correct; "understated elegance" is the way to go. It says; "I have a sense of "style"; perhaps even an "edge", but I am such a self secure person I don't have to shout for attention. My look and my persona attract all of the attention I need from other people"!
IMHO I prefer when you keep your beard trimmed back a little, but I understand that you are changing it up for a while. Go for it!

Slybald: Do not worry about whether it will fit you. Go for something small and elegant like the simple gold ring that you see Mile wearing in the photo he just posted. Then, remember the 30 day rule. If, after 30 days you don't like it, you can take it out and the hole will heal closed within a week or less.
Post a photo for us.

I say go for it ! I got both my ears pierced 5 months ago and I'm almost 55. Never thought I would do such a thing...
-
Hi Mac, looks like you stopped coloring you facial hair? I think it looked good colored. I experimented with spray in tem color, it was too much of a change for me.
-
Go for it, Mr Zed.
I really want to get one or both ears done myself. Just wondering about how it will go down at the office.
You are wondering how an earring will fly at the office and you have a septum piercing? LOL. Not much to worry about, I'd think.

As some of you know eg mrzed and mike e.p. i went through a period when i considering having a piercing. At 73 I decided I was too old for such a change. I have noticed recently in my part of Australia that earrings and studs seem less common; in fact two acquintances not much younger have removed their earrings. Is this a trend elsewhere?

I don't feel like I'm seeing less earrings here in Asia. But I've been here less than a year, so not sure my perspective is great, haha.

I'm still seeing quite a few guys, including older guys around here with one or both ears pierced. Probably mostly with 'diamond' studs or a huggy loop.
