Have You Never Had Your Ear Pierced.

    How many people have never had their ear pierced? It was hugely popular for young fellas to get their ear pierced at one stage. There was a certain "look".

    You often see men of a certain age, guys who came of age in the seventies who still have their ear pierced and it sort of suits them.

    So, have you never been pierced and why?

    Ear pierced?
    I am a guy.
    I am straight.
    Never wanted to look questionably gay or was never a "hipster" of back in the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    Nope.
    But my da got his ear pierced for a bet when he was 47 and still has it to this day! Kinda suits him though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭Nemanja91


    I wanted to get it done when I was around 10 but I wasnt allowed cause my dad thought it was gay! :-)

    Looks kinda stupid to me.
    Hanging bits of trinkets off your ears.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Not my ear, but I really thought about getting my cock pierced. I was loaded at the time though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    The poll question is different to the thread question!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    No, but I met a lad with scars either side of his temples - asked him what happened and he said a piece of steel re-bar went in one side and out the other. He had his head pierced!! He seemed fairly normal as well?? The front bit of the brain must not do that much????

    I have a Scaffold piercing for the last 11 years, its actually my second one cause the first one grew out. I used to get a lot of comments off people at the time, usually "can my child look at your ear" or "jasus lad ya want to watch that if your getting into a fight".

    Never mind that it doesn't even bother to check how many people have piercings so we'll never know what % of AHers are actually pierced!

    Terrible poll


    And no I've never had a piercing myself.

    Why the fck would anyone want to put thick rings through their sack?
    To hang some fancy bollock curtains off them perhaps?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Cos they aid foreplay and heighten sexual arousal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,442 ✭✭✭Sulla Felix


    I'm confused. What's the poll going to tell us other than that some men and some women aren't pierced? Don't we need the numbers that are pierced as well to try and extract some kind of meaning?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    I've 4 ear piercings. 3 in one ear and one in the other.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    OP's poll is flawed but I'm enjoying the discourse

    I pierced my own ear when I was 13 using a needle and an ice cube. Not really sure what the ice cube was supposed to do, but it all went badly wrong when the the top of the needle broke off & went under the skin & inside my earlobe.

    It's actually still there.

    Yep. The big, thick darning needle through the ear.

    Two of mine were done using that method.

    I have my left ear pierced since I was 19.

    Piercing was very, very popular back in the 90s. Used to have two in my left ear and my eyebrow but just have the one now 18 years on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,672 ✭✭✭SafeSurfer


    Indeed the poll is flawed.

    Apologies.

    Yes. This is currently being discussed. Poll is flawed.

    Are pierced ears on a lad not a bit...err....ghey? My youngest son has his pierced, I've no huge feeling about it one way or the other, but whenever I'm dealing with someone(male) who has an ear-ring, I kinda mark them out as being a bit.. ? In my gurrier days in a row, I used to punch straight for the ear if I saw a piercing-usually the pain of that would settle the rowdiest buck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I love piercings, but everytime I have a piercing, I faint and/or have a panic attack when I'm trying to change the stud/earring.
    So right now, I'm unpierced.
    I used to have my ears pierced the whole way down, and had my eyebrow done twice.
    I'd love to get my lip done, but my husband said he'd never kiss me again :(

    Just normal lips - the ones on your face.
    I'm too much of a pussy to get the other kind! :)

    Anyone who thinks that pierced ears on a guy are a bit "gay" are frozen in a 1983 time warp. :rolleyes:

    That was 30 years ago - society has moved on. For the record I have my left ear pierced and I AM gay.:cool:

    Girls getting their ears pierced! I decided it was done to death, so I got my lip pierced instead.


  • Registered Users Posts: 74 ✭✭stupidfishy


    I have my ears pierced twelve times, six in each ear.
    From a mixture of high class hygienic establishments such as friends houses, the floor of the local tesco and georges arcade.

    I never liked my user name but it does seem fairly apt for this post.

    QED. BTW, I'm a dinosaur from the 80s.:D And I said ghey, which is different. Was there not some code for which ear was pierced, ie one meant straight, the other gay? The other half of my family is showbizzy anyway and being gay is almost cumpolsary in that world, so no great hang-ups here in that regard, I'm just not the jewellery type, of any description, ears included.

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,941 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    Just had my ear and lip pierced when I was 16. Removed both after a year or two. Tats are more my style.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    No, but I believe that there are girls from nearby estates who had their ears pierced immediately after having their umbilical cord cut.
