I had it done once before when I was in Colorado, but one fell out so I had to take the other one out too. I'll be making an update in a few weeks that shows the piercings.
I realize on some men piercings don't look that good, but I believe what is true for men is true for women. Long hair and ear lobe piercings are made for each other.
Congratulations on getting your ears re-pierced. It's amazing how many men wear earrings now, and actually look OK with them. Every now and then I see men wearing large hoop and even dangle earrings.
I have had both my ears pierced since high school and I still wear earrings just about every day. I feel they are a part of me.
Be sure to post some pictures of them and take care of your piercings while they heal.
too. The accupuncture points for migraine are in the earlobes.
I pierced my ears in multiple places and the migraines are
far less painful. I still get the blinding flickering
rainbow colours but usually without pain now. It is not a
cure but a good treatment. Another benefit was a slight
gain in muscle strength.

Hello Kenneth, I TOTALLY agree with you that ear lobe piercings and long hair are made for each other. There is something about the beauty and texture of long hair that provides such a beautiful backdrop and artistic compliment to the ear piercings.
In fact, in addition to encouraging you to continue with your new piercings, I ask you to seriously consider some earlobe stretching. What is particularly nice are wood or metal or bone plugs, at least 1/2 inch diameter. It truly is a wonderful look.
The great thing is that with your long hair, you can cover the piercings when you don't feel comfortable with them. Also, you can remove piercings for a while, even with the stretching, and no on is the wiser. Consult various websites on earlobe stretching to be sure you are following all the good suggestions.
Also - thank you for your response to my question about "Where is Gollan?" Meanwhile, many compliments on your fantastic hair - it really becomes you~! Best, Johnnie
I must be able to get a job in the Computer Tech Field.Also it grosses me out to have a whole in my ear lobe big enough to stick a finger through.
I recently saw a woman going to South bend Indiana at the Port Authority Bus Terminal with a stretched earlobe.
Kenneth,
My first left piercing was in about 1984, and the right about two years later. There has always been something sacramental for me indicating a rite of passage. The first was my coming out publically as a man who loves other men.
Personally I do not grok lobe stretching. My skin is elastic, and during these years I have chosen to remove my studs or loops when I though they would detract from the task I was undertaking. When my earrings are out it would be difficult to tell if I have pierced ears.
But now it is difficult to know who could close a door of opportunity for me, so I wear my 1/2 inch platinum bi-lateral loops all the time and rarely think about them. I am well respected in my profession.
I am a man of masculine bearing, but I advocate full equality of women. Do they not hold up half the sky? For me, my long hair and bi-lasteral earrings are a symbolic token of my conviction that men are tyrannized by the idea that "masculinity is something to be achieved," which leaves many men feeling in a box, inferior and often defensive. Secure in my masculinity, I am out of the box, and take great pleasure in the sensuality that women can more easily experience in self adornment, even though I go for understatement.
In sum, I see bi-lateral earrings on men as a symbol expressing the conviction that talking is better than fighting, and while a man, I am out of the box as far as gender restrictions are concerned.
