piercing and boys

You have to expect these sort of things on any forum, because people have personalities.

I'm 14 and got my ears piereced in las vegas. When I asked my mom she thought it was alittle "faggish" but... I didn't agree. I got them done, and It's been 3 weeks, and I love them to DEATH! It adds so much to your face.

Matthew and Andrew each had their ear pierced this afternoon.
They are both happy with it and have been showing them off to their mum and their older brothers. My parents and my wife's parents will see them tomorrow (as it is Matthew's birthday) so I know they will not be pleased.

Did your boys get to the end of the six week healing period without any problems and have they been OK on their return to school?

They've only just finished the 6 week period. They had no problems with them and also no issues at school. They haven't changed their original studs though.

I finally got my ears pierced again today. Even before I got my first set I knew I wanted doubles and now I have them.

I'm a 14 year old boy and I REALLY want my ears pierced but I am far to shy to ask my mum, can somebody help?

No other way but asking is there?

dont ask, just go get them pierced and come home wearing nice earrings. it will be a bit of a shock for your mum for the 1st 5 mins, but then she will see how good they look on you...

I would strongly advise against doing that.

You will cause a war at home.

The next time you are with your mum and see a nicely groomed boy about your age with earrings, say something to your mum about how neat or how nice he looks without specifically saying anything about his earrings. Then you can judge from your mum's reaction whether or not you should comment on the boy's earrings. Although your mum may not ask you directly if you would like to have your ears pierced, you should get some message from your mum's comments as to whether or not you should say anything further about piercing your ears.

I am a 34 year old professional and have had my nipple pierced since I was 18. This is something I cherish and only a chosen few have ever seen it.

I have been wanting to get my ear pierced for a long time but have always refrained from doing so due to my job and the fact that it would not be acceptable to wear an earring to work. However, when in Dublin on business in August I decided to go for it and have not regretted doing so. My wife did not like it at first, but now she accepts it (it is just a little bit more mainstream than a nipple ring after all!!) - I have not yet worn it to work, but the hole seems to have become a bit more permanent as I have no trouble in putting the earring in after work or during weekends.

I just wish it would be more accepted for males to wear in the office, so that I didn't have the hassle of taking in and out all the time. Why is everyone so old fashioned?! If only my boss knew what was under my shirt after all!!!!

Old man,

I am old enough to be your father, so I think of you as a young man.

You are right about the hole in your ear becoming more permanent as time goes on. The longer your ear is pierced, the longer the hole will stay open without an earring. The time varies greatly from person to person, but after a few years you will reach the point where your hole will remain open for the rest of your life, even if you never wear an earring again.

Not eveyone is old fashioned, but apparently your boss is. There is an old saying that the boss may not always be right, but he is always the boss. I never wore earrings in the office for concern about what my superiors would say or think, but several coworkers did notice that my ears were pierced. Enjoy wearing an earring when you can. Just remember to look in the mirror every morning just before you leave for work to be certain you are not wearing an earring.

Last month, my 15 year old son approached my wife & I about getting an earring.

My wife was totally shocked at his desire to get an earring. After she got over the shock of my son wanting to get an earring, I dropped a bombshell; I told her I wanted to get an earring as well. She immediately objected.

After a few days of proding, she finally agreeed to let us get an earring.

We are both sporting a diamond stud earring in our left ear.
