piercing and boys

[Guest]

My son asked me if he could have his ears pierced. I told him that I'll see. Should I let him or not. He is 14 years old and I think he is mateur enough for earrings.All it is,is two holes in each ear. I gave him some money and he came home with diamond studs in his ears.

Natalie: it's really nice you let your 14 year old son pierce his ears. i'm sure he appreciates it.

Faith in the heart is the best heritage for a boy, I think.

But studs in his ears, yes that's nice for a boy.

It's lovely for a boy. Just lovely for him to be allowed to have his ears done.

It's good to hear you Mums encouraging your boys, and men, to have both their ears pierced, the more of you that do the better.

It may eventually bring and end to this form of sexual discrimination, and lets be honest it looks great on kids of both sexes.

Keep up the good work Mums!

Today after school I picked up my 14 year old son and took him to Claire's
to get his ears pierced. I asked for two piercings one in each ear and for diamond studs. I waited and after five minutes he came up to me and hugged me, thank you mum for making such a good decision. His diamonds were really nice and very shiny. Thank You for the advice.

Well done Camilla B. I wish I'd had a Mum like you, he's a lucky boy with such a supportive mother. I'm sure he'll thank you for his gift of pierced ears.

I absolutely agree with the above. I have wanted my ears pierced since I was seven. I am now a professional and can't really find the opportunity and my wife is against it. If I had been allowed as a child I wouldn't be in this dilemma now.

Dear Guest 19.4.2005
My husband is also a professional worker in sales and he recently had a new ear piercing as I mentioned above. He has had no negative comments about wearing earrings.
You can have your ears pierced with very nice discrete studs which do not look out of place at work.
For work my husband just wears the pair of gold ball piercing studs which my daughter had her ears pierced with.

OK - so how do I persuade my wife that she wants a husband with pierced ears. I've been standing in Claire's before about to get this done, but it's imagining her reaction that stops me. Perhaps showing her your posts would help!

OK ... I would like to get my second ear pierced, yet this might be frowned upon at work Is there a type of piercing stud to use or something to cover it up with ?

My husband had his ears pierced six weeks ago now. I took his earrings off half an hour ago and he told me he felt a big relief he asked me to put his earrings back on so I put them back on. It was quite easy geting the earring out because of my long nails.

Listening to these comments it's about time Claire's realised the potential market out there and did something to promote a positive image of boys, and men, with both ears pierced.

Pierced ears for men would then become more acceptable, and who knows even the norm!!

There must be a lot of boys/men who would like their ears pierced but are put off because of outdated macho views, I'm sure most of you Mums, Aunties, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters out there won't mind sharing the pleasure of wearing earings with your male relatives.

Come on girls support your men to express their feminine side.

Hello, i have a question, if i get my ears pierced, do i have to get a gold stud first, or is there any way to get 2 small gold hoops from the beginning. I am personally not a fan of the gold studs and was hoping i could get the 2 hoops right away. Any comments please? Thanks for reading my post.

Dear Guest,
Maybe you should just go down to Claires have your ears pierced. When your wife sees you with studs in she may well like the look, after all I think my husband looks great with his studs in. If she does not like them you can always take them out and let your ears heal.
Be brave, go down to Claires this weekend and get some nice stud puts in I am sure your wife will like them once she sees how nice they look.
Good luck, let us know how you get on.

As far as i know if you have your ears pierced with a gun you have have to have some kind of stud put in. There are lots of different styles of piercing studs available now not just plain gold ball studs. I think it is also possible to have your ears pierced with needle by a body piercer then i think they can put hoops in straight away. Personnally i thinks studs look better and having them pierced with a gun is really easy but it is your decision. Whatever you decide good luck

I changed my husbands earrings today the golden balls came out and the diamonds came in flashing. It wasnt the usual feel my husband said he felt more confident. It was very easy to take the earrings out because of my long nails.
