what would you choose when you had the choice between long hair and earrings ?
i believe in leaving my body in the state it was created in. that is why i have long hair and beard and i do not have earrings. (or other piercings, tattoos, etc). :)
WOW!!! What kind of choice is that??? LONG HAIR - HANDS DOWN!!!!
Let it fly in the breeze!!!

What a horrible question, I love my hair, but I love my earrings too!
I'd probably keep the hair, and sneak in a pair of earrings whenever possible...

Long hair AND earrings... provided that the hair flows smoothly and shimmering down to my waist, my upper lip is garnished with a thick moustache, and the earrings have to be, of course, these gypsy-style gold bangles...
HAIR. Never been an earring fan... But, that's me. :)

It would be too hard to give up my 6 silver hoops(3per ear)which i have had since I was 18. It would be impossible to cut my long hair that I have worn for 10 years. I still am incredibly nervous when I get my 6 month maintenance trims, Give up ice cream instead!!

Hair.
If that's the choice your folks are giving you, keep in mind that once you get away from the parental units you can always slip on a fake earring or two or three. Can't do that and look decent with any sort of a wig . . . and it won't work at all when you get in the "clutches" with a girl . . .
Go for the hair, and get a fake earring.

where can I get fake earrings ?
I've seen 'em at Sally's (it's a hairdresser & barber supply shop). Should be one in your area somewhere. If not, check out other beauty supply shops, or look around on the web . . . maybe a Yahoo search for "Fake Earrings" would turn up something.
Good luck,

This would be a real hard choice for me because I love having both, but growing out your hair takes a hell of a lot longer then getting ear piercings done. I'd say go for the hair first, then get your ears pierced later (maybe after your hair cover your ears most of the time). Thats what I did, then did one ear at a time. After 6 weeks or so you can take one out if you want while the second one heals the you can wear one or 2 or none after 12 weeks.
Iwear 2 hoops all the time now with my long hair and I think it looks great, but as I have found out, people in general are still more negative about long hair then earrings on men.
I'd choose the hair. Luckily I've never been faced with the choice, and I've got the earrings to prove it (both ears). But they're almost always covered with hair !!
Definetly long hair. I would not be caught dead with earings.
I would definitely hate to choose, I love having them both!
I have waist lenght hair, have never found any earings that I
would want to wear. I'd skip the earrings altogether.
Earrings don't do anything for me.
Do you have to make a choice? If so only you can make that that choice. Everybody has different ideas. The main object is to be yourself. Personnally I have both. 23 earings each ear and long hair.
23 earrings in each ear?!?!
Yes & 58 years old
I would to be waiting for you to finish in the bathroom.....
that's cool. so far, i've "only" got ten in each ear - one tragus, four cartilage, and five lobe(one is stretched to an 8, i'm gonna stretch it further, but i don't know how much further i'll go, i'll probably stop around 2 or 0, nothing too big.). I had an eyebrow ring for a while, but it got ripped out a few years ago while i was playing with my puppy and i haven't repierced it. I'm seriously thinking about more but i haven't decided just what i'll do next.
(btw folks, sorry about the "blank post" earlier.)
targus, 3 front helix and the rest from lobe up. have room for about
3 or 4 more.
23 earrings in each ear? How many years does it take you
get ready in the morning?
The ear rings are locked in. Do not take them out. I take about 10 minutes to get ready in the mornings.
Have I missed something? What makes this an "either/or" choice? Choice of either one does not preclude having the other.
I am a woman. Not all men can wear long hair and not all men look good with an earring. I prefer one earring in one ear on a man. Long hair only if hair is thick and well groomed--not scraggly. But be sure the look fits you and your style.
I have both.I love having long hair.But the earring complet the look.
Both my ears are pierced five times three on the bottom and two on the top both ears.I wear two inch silver hoops in my first holes smaller ones behide.
