what do you think of ear piercings on a guy?

    I recently got my ears pierced, for the simple reason that I wanted to since I spend too much time worrying about what others think and bending to what other people want (it's just a bonus that it pisses a few certain people off :lol:slight_smile:. I'm not asking to see whether or not it was a bad idea - it's already done and to be honest, I absolutely love them. I think they suit me really well.
    So: your opinion? And, is there a such thing as too old for piercings? (I read in a seperate forum that 23 was 'too old' for a piercing. Just wondering about your thoughts.)

    Some guys can pull ear piercings off really well and look great. Guess it depends on the type of piercing. And come to think of it, I can't imagine someone past maybe their 20s wearing ear piercings I guess.

    depends where on the ear, and how many.

    I think that depends on your face. If you will look like Tom Colicchio, I don't think it'd work. I think that it's okay for a guy to get his ears pierced.

    I like them. I have both of my lobes pierced and I also have a rook piercing on my left ear, which is my favorite one. I used to have a helix on my right one too but I lost it. Just about anyone can pull off diamond studs, honestly. As for the age thing; once you hit 30 it's time to grow up but before then anything goes, in my opinion.

    I may be in a small minority, but I like all earrings (excepting gauges) on all men, of all ages. Honestly, if an old guy with earrings looks unattractive, it's probably 'cause he's old and unattractive, not because of the earrings.

    I'm okay with it as long as it's subtle and doesn't stand out too much. And in my opinion, piercings look a little weird on guys who are obviously in their 30's or beyond.

    Depends on the guy. Same with any accessory or clothing.
    I personally love mine. :3

    Don't like them on a guy. They just look out of place on most, and on the few where they don't look out of place, they don't look good anyway.

    In fact, aside from ear piercings on women, I don't like piercings full stop.

    i'm in the mindset that earrings on a guy are hot...i dunno though I've had mine since i was twelve and i can't imagine my face without them. I've also just realized that i think im the only guy i know that wears earrings on a regular basis. makes me a little sad. lol

    My bf has his ears pierced, and I think they look great. He was going to take them out and let them heal in but I told him not to. :slight_smile:

    I like it, as long as it suits him. Some people look really stupid with piercings. Not just ear piercings though, all piercings can look good when the right person has them.

    I have my lobes pierced myself and at the moment streched to 6mm. Streched lobes are awesome.

    I don't mind earrings on guys, but I just prefer the lobes pierced, I dislike any other body part pierced.

    I think they look nice :slight_smile: I want to get a tragus piercing (it's the little bump just in front of your ear canal) this summer, as well as other parts of the ear.
