I have no idea why men want earrings, I think its degrading to me to have earrings, unless their pirates.
you guys can call them what ever you want but its a long way to the other end fro art.
Back in '72 I got one of my ears pierced. That was the 'fad' back then in some circles along with long hair, tight bellbottoms, fu-manchu stashes and boots with a roachclip attached under the pant leg with a long leather tassle for quick access.
I got a lot of flak from 'normal' people back then but didn't give a heck about what people thought as long as I was happy in my journey through life. I suspect that this is where these folks are.
Times and tastes change. My ear piercing has plugged it's self, my hair is kept short, all my jeans are straight legged and have a bit of extra room for my 54yo butt. My stash is kept off the lip and trimmed at the corners of my mouth and I have used a pipe for the last 15 years.
I'm still enjoying this ride but if I had to still wear those damned bellbottoms, chew on my stash, have a dangly thing attached to my ear, hair that took more than a minute to 'fix' and boots that double as paraphernalia while socialising with some of my friends in law enforcement, I'd be one sorry SOB.
