so your just getting your left ear pierced? its not big deal, it doesnt hurt at all. its feels like someone pinched your ear lobe.

are you going to keep it at the guage your getting it pierced? i got mine pierced as a 18 guage, an i am down to a 4 guage right now, and i plan on going down to a 2. i got my right ear pierced also a little while after, that one is only guaged to a 12 right now.

just get one of those huge *blingin'" earing that make your earlobe sag, IMO it looks stupid.

I have both my ears pierced, except I don't wear earrings any more. I got my ears pierced the summer between 8th grade/freshman year of h.s., so, for about 6 years now. I took them out my senior year of high school and haven't put them back in since, don't know why, I guess I just grew out of it. The holes are definitely still there though.

In my opinion, if you're gonna pierce your ear(s), just get them both done, not just one.

I had my cartilege pierced with a needle, it didn't hurt too much, but more than a gun.

NorCalStud686, less permanent unless you stretch them like jumalian said

M3Orion, isn't that what fags get done, fags and chics have both ears done.

nick e[V]ans, get with the times, dude. Having both ears pierced doesn't mean what it used to mean anymore.

Just about every year I get cauliflower ear and have to have it drained several times with a hypodermic needle. Maybe I'm just a baby, but that hurts somethin terrible.

Tyler T, cauliflower ear or an inner ear infection???

jumalian, sorry dude, i'm must be getting old or something... Cool

Tyler~Moore, Why?

nick e[V]ans, Cauliflower ear is from getting the outer ears rubbed/irritated. You see that in a lot of wrestlers or rugby players in the pack position. Wink

Man, you guys need to STFU and not turn this into a hate thread. If you think ear piercing is gay, you're about as ignorant as the next hooded person.

Tyler~Moore · Posted: Apr 04, 2004 6:17 pm Post subject:

Ok...My gf is not pressuring me. she would like for me to get it done. but it was my choice.

Im not getting both ear pierced cuz my friend is getting both and i dont wanna look like him. Later on i might get both, i dunno.

Im leaving it the same guage. ima stick with 18...

I never thought it was if you had your right ear pierced. i thought it was right ear only. But that might not be the case anymore.

Those of you who are acually helping out saying some usful stuff. THANKS

those who are saying certain stuff is gay. please stop so the thread doesnt get taken off. I know i said you can say negative stuff, but dont assotiate certain piercings with different sexual prefrences.

Tyler~Moore · Posted: Apr 04, 2004 6:18 pm Post subject:

Also do any of you have pictures of the different kinds of earings you wear. Im thinking the whoop kind with one ball. or maybe the horseshoe type thig with two balls. but i think ima get the whoop with a ball...THANKS

jumalian · Ladies Man Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 7625 City: san diego

I have a pair of hoops w/ the ball connecting them. I was considering the horseshoe w/ the balls at the end, but I think the hoops are more conservative, in case I have to meet clients or business partners.

I'm about to get both ears pierced, and im straight, just cuz u have an ear pierced dosent mean you like dudes or chicks. Now im not saying certain people dont pierce their right ears if they are "that way" but I'm pretty sure thats only if its only the right ear...correct me if I'm wrong.

Tyler~Moore · Posted: Apr 04, 2004 6:37 pm Post subject:

alex + kerley, both ears! your gay man! sick no more rides on my boat!

JOKE GUYS. thats the guy i was talking about getting both ears and i dont wanna be like him, he doesnt do too good with the ladies! haha

In the Professional/Business world, it's not acceptable for any male to have his piercings visable regardless of what you've seen.

hahaha ...yes i have to agree with jumalian and m3orion. having both ears pierced does not make you gay or symbolize that you're gay. i have both lobes and my upper left cartilage pierced. i have hoops with the connecting ball in the lobes and just a regular hoop in the cartilage ....damn stud kept catching on my pillows when i would sleep.

id have to say that the gun hurt more than the needle, even tho they didnt really hurt ...its more a slight pinch. if you get those little pussballs in your ear, theyll ooze out through the holes. thats the only negative effect of having them ...at least for me, just means i have to clean them once a day.

Dave W, True, very true. I'm talking the definitive "real" Professional employment world. Mr. Green

Dave W · Posted: Apr 04, 2004 7:10 pm Post subject:

HEY!

I used to have a "real" professional job, and I don't think anyone really cared if the guys had piercings or not.

Hmmm.... Wait a minute. Did I ever have a "real" professional job? Neutral

Hmm.... Suddenly you're making me reconsider everything Dlady. I don't know. Maybe you're right.

I'm having a strange day. Confused

Starting to reconsider my reality. Neutral

jumalian, about a year and a half ago, i had 6's in my ears. and i had to take them out to work at my dads law firm. they closed up. i re-pierced them about a little more than 8 months ago. i think it took me like a month and a half to get back to a 6.

03Belmont, piercing with a needle isnt that bad, just stick it thru quickly, the slower you go the more its going to hurt, almost like a band-aid. i have only had my left ear pierced by a "pro" or whatever. and the rest of the piercings i have have been done with needles by me or one of my friends.

if your gonna use a needle make sure and put it over a lighter, or some sort of flame to sterilize it. and also if you can get some of that ear alcohol cleaner from a place like Claire's, i didnt use it much, but it can help reduce the chance of an infection.

ears are better than the tongue. although, the tongue didn't really hurt at all either Neutral

You should read about the history of the Prince Albert. Kinda interesting in an eccentric kinda way.
