Guys with piercings

Explosions in the Sky

Hey guys and maybe more more so girls what do you think of guys with piercings, is it tacky etc. I know if you really want something you shouldn't care what others think but in general what do you guys/girls think of guys with piercings. I really want something like this http://tiny.cc/vd45d, thanks for any contributions guys, I didn't want to put this in After hours for obvious reasons

Piercings like the one in the picture I like, but the footballer-type bling ones would be a real turn off. I guess like most things it's about what style you like.

Yes please!! I like a guy with piercings, but proper piercings as opposed to the big diamante earring thing.

I think guys look good with piercings. If you want that particular piercing then go for it

I have a few piercings as well so I guess I'm slightly biased though.

I find that piercings can depend on the person. They really suit some guys and look ridiculous on others. Style, looks, and grooming all play a part in that for me

Be careful if you decide to stretch your ear.
Go to a reputable studio (not georges street arcade) and take heed of everything they tell you.

That pic looks about 6mm. That should take you about a year to get to if you don't already have your ears pierced and about 6 months if you do.

Don't stretch too fast, look up blow outs and keloids and you'll see why.

Me, I use to have a few piercings. Subtle is best, nothing worse than people with metal and cheap plastic hanging off them.
I just got tired of cleaning them so I took all of mine out.
People that don't clean their piercings make me sick.

Stretched ears are absolutely horrible imo, but I don't mind a few ear piercings.

I have my nipple pierced buy its more for pleasure than fashion.

Its objective. If you want it and think you'll suit it, go for it! I don't dress for men, I dress for myself.

That piercing looks lovely. Piercings on guys are awesome. I'd agree with the footballer diamantes being a turn off though

That's wrong I'm afraid. You can go up to about a 4mm straight away with a controlled tear which isn't as bad as it sounds at all (often its better if you are unpierced before hand)

You could be up to a 6mm about 6 months.

Yeah, that's fine if you want to end up with scar tissue and damage your ear.
Go ahead with that kind of thing yourself but don't recommend it to others.


OP, talk to professionals about it, otherwise you'll get loads of these stories and "tips" about doing things quickly. Why would you want to go quickly? You've you whole life to stretch and your ear will thank you for doing it slowly.

I'd reccomed Snakebite on Middle Abbey Street if you're in Dublin. Otherwise of Dublin I'm not sure on, get over to the Tattooes and Piercing forum for more advice.

Thanks for the advice, I'm not from Dublin but I live near to a few tattoo parlours, cheers

This happened to me and I had to get plastic surgery to fix it. Just sayin'..

Just making sure you know this is a Stretched ear not an earring? I like stretched ears on guys as long as they don't go over 10mm! Once you stay under 6-8mm they can close up once you take them out. If you don't want to go stretching your ears topman do fake ones (they're just earrings like in the picture). To be honest it just depends on how you dress/present yourself!

Snakebite is where the 4mm controlled tear was gotten :rolleyes:. It was them that suggested it.

Seraphina

I went straight to 4mm from normal pierced ears in one go. No problems at all and I'm now up to 8mm.

Like anything OP, it's about personal taste and choice. I find these 'What do women think of x on men' threads ridiculous. It assumes we are some kind of autonomous mass who all like the same thing, which I frankly think is insulting to women everywhere.

Anyway, you shouldn't be doing anything like that for women, it should be because you want to, and f what any others think.

seanybiker

16mm at the moment meself.

Piercings on me are cool because im such a hunk of a man.

Tacky, and nothing but.
