Can't really say that I have given it much thought...I am used to it...In my family it the norm. Don't like body piecing though.

OH had his left pierced twice but never bothers anymore. I don't care either way.

Eldest son wanted his done when he was 15. He had to give me a good argument. eventually I agreed. He had it done and wore it for about 2 years.

He's now 20 and has managed to get himself 2 tattoos instead which I hate!!

Men with earrings !!!!!!!!!!!!Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. Poofters.

Men wore earrings in Elizabethan times.

All the old fishermen wore earrings when I was a kid, and said it was for the eyesight.

I dont like to see some of the earrings, but I do hate the pony tails, especially if there is no hair on top.

I personally don't like jewellery on men whether it be necklaces, earrings, bracelets etc. However, I think it is up to the individual :-)

I had to laugh when I read the title of the thread Uggers......firstly I thought......why not wear earrings and any style they want to.....it is just an expression of their personalities....

......then I remembered watching BENIDORM last night......I only caught two of the last series, but thought it hilarious.......well the old guy who owned 5 tanning shops and looked the colour of an orange.....and diving in the pool wearing.....a thong !!!!! urghhhhhh......

My OH wears a gold link bracelet and a gold medallion I bought him in the 70's (hidden now of course).......and I never really thought that he shouldn't.....

At least with ear- rings and piercings you can get rid of them, I have 7 tattoo's which I am stuck with or need to invest a fortune in laser removal

I have never understood it - in the olden days of yore seamen wore a earring in order to pay for their burial! They also wore tattoos in order to identify their bodies should they drown at sea.

As neither of these circumstances apply to Mr. Beckham I wonder why. Have often wondered what women especially will look like in their seventies when they have all these tattoos!!!!

Initially my first tatoo was for a similar reasons, a union flag with my blood group under it should I ever be injured or wounded. After the first one i just seemed to acumulate them

Earings for Men???. This was originally for "Sailors Before the Mast" who wore a Gold Earing or meybe two, So that if they Drowned and were cast upon a Foreign Shore,The Price obtained from selling the Earings would Pay for a Christian Burial. The Others ( Unless they are Deep water Sailors) are just "Poseurs" Putting it Politely.**M**,

I find babies with pierced ears more offensive. I think they should have a choice as to whether they have their ears pierced or not, the age of say 16 is early enough!

My ex husband had a pierced ear when we were married, but when he briefly came out with his true sexual identity { after we split} he went mad with piercings, in many different places lol!!

Hes remarried now, yes confusing, no idea if he still has them,

Men can wear what they like, at whatever age, as far as I'm concerned.

It's the manners of the man that are important, not whether they wear earrings, tattoos, ponytails, hair pieces etc etc.

Yes, Jac, you have a good point there.....
