I’m 68 and hope to soon retire. Every time I mention to my wife that I’d like to get my ears pierced, she says I’m too old to get it done because: 1) men my age don’t have pierced ears; 2) family members and friends would question why, and criticize my having done it; 3) that there are enough clip on options that I don’t need to go to pierced ears; 4) even though I frequently wear some women’s clothing when out in male mode, pierced ears would draw too much attention.

So, if your eaes are pierced, at what age did you do it, and what style do you wear when out in male mode?

If your ears are not pierced but you wish they were, what is holding you back?

Any other thoughts about ear piercings?
