pierced ears

My son was the same as as yours when he asked to get his ears pierced. He wanted both of them pierced, so we compromised on one. He wears a very small green birthstone and sometimes a very small hoop and takes very good care of it. I felt this was not a big deal. There are much bigger issues to worry about. An ear piercing, in my opinion, is not one of them.

ears pierced?
Say what you want, but ask yourself how that'll be working for him when he's out in the real world trying to get a decent job?
I personally think it looks strange for a man to wear jewelry. The Tiffany Reference book specifically says a man should only wear a watch and wedding band, if applicable.
Having a conversation like this with a 9YO makes me just shudder.
My husband has 1 of his ears pierced
and he is just about the sexiest thing I have ever ran across! When we first started going together he had an earring- somewhere over the years it is not there and I told him the other day want him to get another 1- he is 1 heck of a man and a manly 1 at that!
My son was 15 when he had one ear pierced.
And I took him myself and paid for the piercing. In fact, it was my suggestion. He has just one ear pierced and wears one small post earring nearly all the time. His hair is just a tad long, just over his collar at the moment, which is as long as he can get away with at his Catholic high school.
As for his being a n'er-do-well, hmmm, let's see... He's graduating from h.s. at the top of his class, was accepted at some very well respected universities to study engineering, has been offered over $50,000 in scholarships so far, and has just earned his Eagle Scout rank. Over the years, a few old fuddy-duddies have commented on what they call his "stupid" earring. But my son is always polite and never comes back with any remark. In fact, when my son went to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico for a 100-mile backpacking trip, his scout leader berated him for the earring, telling him that he looked like a girl and no gays were allowed in scouting. What a nice display from a guy wearing short-shorts, knee socks and a scarf around his neck! This happened in the airport as they were getting ready to leave. My son took the earring out and simply said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to wear the earring." My first impulse would have been to shout like a crazy person at that leader, but my son set a better example for me. I simply took the earring when he handed it to me and left the matter up to my son. When they returned, the very same adult leader told me what a fine young man my son was. I suppose he forgot about the tiny hole in his earlobe that signified a trouble-maker!
World's Most Pierced Woman
The world's most pierced woman, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, has added to her collection with a 6,005th piercing, the U.K.'s Telegraph reported.
Elaine Davidson, of Edinburgh, Scotland, made the Guinness World Record official in 2000 when she had a mere 462 piercings — 192 of which were in her face.
Nine years later, the Brazilian-born nurse has thousands of piercings including more than 1,500 that she says are "internal."
Surprisingly, Davidson says she doesn't like getting pierced.
"To break the record you have to get to a high level," she told the Telegraph. "I wanted to break the record. My family [doesn't] even like tattoos or piercings. But I am happy. I decided to change myself and be me."
Excessive piercing can be dangerous, according to medical experts. In addition to the risk of infection in and around the area of the piercings, people who are well-pierced are considered at high risk for blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis and HIV, which can be spread by reusing needles.
wax in ears
Also, I totally agree with this post; check his ears. Every time my son has went for a checkup, they have told me they can hardly see in because of wax. Told me to get Debrox, an ear drop that dissolves wax. I usually forget to use it, but remember when he is due for a checkup!! It can't hurt... 
how old should a boy be before he gets his ears
pierced? My son wants hoops but he's only 9. I told him about 13 but i'm wondering if i'm being to hard on him. Please don't write and say a boy shouldn't be allowed to have his ears pierced; I am happy for him to do it and won't change my mind on it but I just want to know how long other moms made their sons wait.
TIA!
anyone have ringing in ears?
I know in this profession we tend to diagnose ourselves - I have ringing in only one ear - is not affecting hearing - most annoying when things are quiet - from what I can tell it is usually in both ears if related to medication or other things that are a simple fix. I'm thinking brain tumor!! Anyone else have similar experiences?
ringing in ears
I notice this after taking aspirin.
yes, and he has funky ears too.
when his hair was shorter you could see them better.
I started watching a couple years ago on and off and now I am hooked.
I am glad Nick and Taylor got married today, and he did not give in to Brooke. Can you image someone being like that in real life? So pathetic. ICK.
tears in my ears.
is how the song goes.
It's one of my favorites.
Falling on deaf ears........and
I also urge them to contact their senators and congressman, but I am sad to say too often these things fall on deaf ears. I am forever amazed at how people in this country think if something is imposed by their government, it must be okay! They don't really question why MORE laws, what do we need it for, who is it really benefitting. They just say, "Oh well, what's it hurting. If you're not doing anything wrong you shouldn't care that you are being stripped of your freedoms". Putting more restrictions on US citizens does what for us? Does anyone ever ask what the purpose is for? If they actually think this has anything to do with locating illegals, they are really gullable. The government knows where illegals are....they're in sanctuary cities, heck, they're in my city. Do you see them rounding them up and deporting them? They're marching down our streets holding the Mexican flag.....get a clue...it has NOTHING to do with protecting us. The borders are wide open to illegals, north and south. Instead of taking our freedoms from us, crack down on businesses hiring illegals, quit giving them welfare assistance, free education, free healthcare, free, free, free for ILLEGALS, and guess what?.....no jobs, no healthcare, no freebies, they will go back home. Their home. Does anyone actually ask why we are creating this new law? It's as if they don't really want to know, don't want to be bothered with reading and studying the bill, don't want to question why this is even necessary. If our government says to, then of course it must be good for us because, after all, we are too dumb a people to think for ourselves, at least that's what the federal government hopes, that you'll all sit on your complacent behinds and do nothing......until the deed is done.
Clean out your ears so they can crawl out.

LOL or like my fat Siamese. My ears couldn't take it.
MEOW, MEOW!!
I've probably done damage to my ears
had front row seats to Jimi Hendrix! Loved concerts. My kids still laugh at me. Now with my Ipod I am even liking cleaning the house!
why not cut off the ears at birth to prevent
not circumcising can be reversed, if the boy/man so chooses. Having had a friend working in a gay porn store, hehe, there is a consensus among men that circumcised men miss out...
*ears perk up* cherry cream?
That sounds YUMMY! Oh, and if you had a piece of chocolate cream with it...
I think I'm going to follow you. Wish I had a MIL that made good pies. It would make it all worth it. lol
I wouldn't have to worry about keeping my mouth shut...It would be full of pie!
Do you think that piercing a child's ears is abuse?

Whistle blower! My grandma always blew the whistle in their ears. nm

Pity Party going on here. Head cold, stuffed up ears, cough, whaa! whaa ! whaa!
I have been working 7 hours so far today and have managed to type about 700 lines. Spending more time with hands reaching for kleenex and/or sanitizer. I HATE a cold.
Okay, nuff said I will shut up and suffer in silence.
Have a good one.
