So have any of the men in your family gotten it?I am a typical one in each ear.
I have many sets of gold earring...but I am lazy and don't bother to change them much.
I don't mind them on men...especially on dark skin , when they have one big diamond. My own diamond earring are quite small ones.

Although if any of the did, sounds like you wouldn't mind at all...No not one!!
I guess you're not remotely surprised when today's young men too have the urge to pierce their ears.
I don't know it the gay/straight symbolism has changed, but I have little contact with the "piercing" crowd these days.
I was simply thinking that you must be able to empathize with the urge that young men as well as young women have to pierce their ear(s), like you did.
Back then I was trying to put myself on people's radar. Now I try to stay off of their radar.
Well, okay; this was your experience. I guess these days it's so widespread that it's a normal development to have them done, for a lot of young men as well as young women.Back then I was trying to put myself on people's radar. Now I try to stay off of their radar.
I'm approaching geezerhood and my social aspirations have changed. Now I sing;

When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger."

Hi @farouk,
If you have posted any references to ear piercing I have missed them, I'm afraid. Would you mind giving them again, so that I can refer to them. I don't think my former words were particularly 'far fetched' for today, no: for the believer is set apart to God, and I believe that his appearance should reflect that.
Thank you.
In Christ Jesus

Evidently anyway @"ByGrace" thinks diamonds can look good for earlobes. Quite a lot of younger men seem to do it.
I think this - 2md quote, above - is the post that may have prompted my previous comment.
In the Bible anyway there is the whole bondservant ear piercing aspect, done by both genders.
Anyway maybe all the men in your family probably think you are rather conservative in your sensibilities when it comes to men's ear piercing.No not one!!
...Whereas in fact it's something that can be benign and tasteful, right?
So what do you guys think of these?
It's not only tattoos that can carry a message in words, but earrings also!
Alternatively, I can also think of custom made earrings with a Bible reference, etc.
