[theory of knowledge]

I know many people who have done it. And I hate to say it, but ear piercings look kinda..fruity.

Both ears, captive ball rings. Go to an actual body piercer to get it done, a place where they use a needle. Don't go to Claire's.

I use to think the same thing until I got both of my ears pierced and I can honestly say I should have done it a long time ago. It adds something to you overall look that's just make you stand out more than you would without them.

Ive just had my left ear done, didnt hurt at first but my ear lobe is pretty sensitive at the moment. Gotta leave this in for 6 weeks, with constant cleaning/spinning of the stud, then i can put my own in (diamond ). I would say it does add to your overall image, i'd say definately go for it!

I'll trust you on that. I'm sure on the right person is can look good, just don't over feminize yourself

i asked a few girls and they all did theirs at claires, none of them have died...so a gun piercing can't be that bad can it?

i am also going to bootcamp in a month, so would it be better if i pierced it after?

I don't support gun piercing because the people who do them aren't trained body piercers. They just point the gun at your ear in a rough approximation of where you want the earring, pull the trigger, and hope for the best as the jewelry smashes through your flesh... Needle piercing is comparatively clean, and the piercing heals much cleaner. It's also a rush to feel the needle going through your ear.

Bootcamp as in military bootcamp? You probably shouldn't get a piercing at all, if that's the case.

I have both of my ears pierced with silver and diamond hoops. Sharp as a tack! The shine on my head far outweighs the shine of my jewelry though.

It's rare for me to venture out into the world without chicks asking to rub my head for "luck" . . .

I pierced both of my own and have "diamond" studs in them. Goes nice with my clean cut style.

i enlisted in the reserves, but during my spare time i would like a earring, thats all. if i get it pierced now, and goes off in a month, would the dirty environment cause an infection easily?

 

[drummer]

if it goes off in a month it would just close back up.
I have 3, one in left, 2 in right. Circular stud (actually a bar) in left. Round and cone stud in left. But, I have a bunch so I am always switching them around... And i cant stand diamonds

 

[doctoroxygen]

Yeah, you need to leave the jewelry in the piercing for at least three months if you get studs.

Make sure the rest of your style is overall strongly masculine, and an earring offsets it well.
