Any male poster here admit they pierced their ear at some point?

I had 3 in the left and 2 in the right when I played music professionally. Haven't worn any in probably 10 years now.

No piercings ... No earings ... and no Tattoos.
I particularly cannot understand the wave of CHEAP tattoos ... Why would you jump the gun and do something so permanent before you had the money to get a decent (and higher priced) tattoo?

Pierced at 19.(left ear)
Stopped wearing it when I got my first real job at 23. almost twenty years later and it is still visible and I still get questions about it.
Mistake in retrospect.
I wanted to, but that was a big no no with my grandma and grandpa. Tattoos were also frowned upon. When I got my first one at 18 they laughed thinking it was a joke, then tried to rub it off with a wet cloth, then nearly stroked out cursing at me. 12 years later they are way more relaxed.
I really have to laugh at the kids who are rocking the gauges these days.
They will be 50 year old men with what will look like a dried up appendix for earlobes.

Pierced left ear from 18 to 21 or so. Now no piercings or tats. Tats are for the scum of the earth.
I'll take it a step further though and cop to having a tongue stud for about 6 months after graduating high school in 2000. Best thing I ever did. First semester freshman year of college I couldn't shake chicks off with a stick. That thing pulled so many small town Nebraska girls of questionable morals it's a wonder I'm still living to tell the story.

Both ears in the early 90's and had a Prince Albert for about 5 years from 94-99
Up to 8 tats now.

You mean on purpose? Or like with an errant fly cast or sumpin?
Where men are concerned, the words "pierced ear" and "stud" should never be used in the same phrase.

That was a good life choice. Congrats.
They were only 8 gauges, so the holes were maybe the size of an eraser on a pencil - they closed up nicely thankfully
Never got a stud but did get a small tat on my shoulder at the All-Iowa Fair when I was 17. Terrible idea at the time but turned out great because when tats became the "in" thing to do and parlors were everywhere I never had the urge to get another one.
Made it thru a 6 year music career, 9 years of Djing/producing, and still working in the industry as a photographer.........
0 Piercings, 0 Tattoos, and no narcotics/alcohol issues.

It was sort of like a smaller, less feathery version of what Mr T had back in the early 80's. I basically tied a fly on one of the longer earring bases that doesn't have a back on it. They hung about an inch below my earlobe but looked like a fly.
The girls I hung out with dug it, of course the girls I hung out with thought Henry Rollins was the hottest guy on the planet.
