I know I am not going to get it but I would like a donation towards ear piercing and a pair of nice drop-earrings. I use clip-ons but they aren't the same. It is all part of my feminity. I don't think I could go out and get it done and then present myself to my so as pierced ears. Even as a amale I have wanted my pears pierced and haven't had the courage to do it.

I work with a lot of people in the construction trade. Among the younger set peircings and tattoos have reached a stage where it's almost a uniform. Pierced ears are about the least controversial of all. It's gotten to the point where it really doesn't constitute a gender issue at all.

You may be suspected of a mid-life crisis, trying to recapture your youth, or something like that, but that's about it.

Do not be afraid. The piercing does not hurt - I promise you that, its 19 months since I had mine done and it is the best present I have given myself.

I went to Claire's Accessories to get mine done - they get plenty of men in for it and there is no fuss even when I said I wanted both ears done. That is the exact reason why they seem to have a near monopoly.

When drab I wear coloured studs that match my shirts and teeshirts. Even my wife says they look nice. I have never had a negative reaction to them when drab and for Susan they are a god send - my earring collection has grown to 30 pairs now.

I hope this has convinced you to get them done. Its no big deal, honest.

Very helpful comments about piercing. It is the best time of the year for me to do it if I decide to go ahead with it. It is something I have been thinking about for a long time

I have looked at some online videos on piercing at Claires and I am certainly getting interested. It is hard to define the cost & what is the best type of stud to have. I would like plain gold

For Fathers Day, I appreciate it if the kids remember to call.
