At what age does it stop being OK to wear earrings for a guy?

[crazybastard]

just wondering. is it something you grow out of or at some age you just gotta take them off and look more presentable?

[XRabbitHeartX]

This is a difficult question. I've seen this show where these 2 guys are in their 60's and they have earrings (only on one ear each though) and it actually doesn't look nearly as bad as I would have thought so I don't think there's a "set" age. But I do think that many people grow out of them eventually. I know many guys who thought they'd be rocking their emo haircuts or snake bite piercings till they're old (you know YOLO'ing it up) but then when you see them again after a year or so they've completely changed because they just got over it and moved into a new phase of life or grown out of it.

i like piercings on a guy, however piercings on like their lip/eyebrow/nose or anywhere else on their face I believe they just grow out of or take out if their employer has rules about their appearance and stuff... I personally think ear/lip piercings are kinda cute if its not anything super gawdy, more like a simple stud or small hoop(like something youd wear on a cartilege piercing) or something... my brain is kinda muddled today so I don't know if that makes any sense or even helps at all lol sorry

I believe it's something you grow out of at some age.

Depends on your style. Earrings for guys came in quite a while ago - I'm in my mid 30's, and there are guys 15 years older then me who have them - and still do. They, and some of the women their age still like it.

So I don't think you have to stop wearing it because you 'grew up'. There are older guys who wear them.

The question is will it still match your style in the future? If not, well, you stop wearing them.

got my ears pierced at 18 and had them until I was 21. had to take one out because it got infected so I took the other one out too. they closed up after 3 days and I just never put them back in. figured that most jobs don't allow men to wear them especially dealing with the public. plus I heard from some girls that earring scars are just as hot. I guess like it shows maturity.

Meh, I think if you like piercings - go for it. Something I've always lived by. There may be some occasions to take them out, to be more respectful of the event and such. Otherwise let your freak flag fly and be yourself!

If you want to take them out at some point, you'll know when. It's not up to anybody else's opinion to tell you who you're supposed to be.

spot on

You can still look presentable with earrings or maybe one, you just have to know how and when to wear it, and what to wear with it.

If this is about maturity then what kind of earrings you wear and the clothes you wear with it should be carefully picked out.

Saying this in the case of it being your style, if that's what you like, you can still a find a way to incorporate it into your look.

i think they look f***ing stupid no matter what age you are, but that is just my opinion. ha

[eaeaea]

:D

unlimited. wearing earrings is not about age. its about taste. if you wanna wear them, make sure they suit your face.

[kyshy23]

I think once you hit your 30's then you should stop wearing earrings. Maybe even before then. It all depends on who you are and what you want to do.

[spreadthelove]

well it depends on the earrings and I think it all depends on you too. if you wanna look presentable then take them off. but as for me I think earrings on guys are hot :) I don't think there is a age!

[sweet_18]

Its OK at any age as long as it's a stud and not like a hoop or gauge or something totally weird like that

[eaeaea]

Until they decide to stop looking pretty and decide to look manly. :]

Maybe when their skin loses its luster. I guess it depends which piercing you're talking about on the ear. It's never really accepted in the work place so I guess in that sense, the sooner the better.

[LexiNinja]

I personally love piercings, so I don't think there's a particular age.

[Anonymous]

Two, unless he's gay :P

Haha, I kid. Ahh, I never really thought about it. I've never considered wearing earrings.

[Bluegameroyon]

I'd say at a young age. Like 19 or maybe 25. You know, at a man's prime.

[ashtonm]

Never! A client of mine was this 70 some odd year old rich Italian guy. He was one of the smoothest, sharpest guys I've ever met and he wore hoops.

[Anonymous]

well for instance bruce jenner... not sure how old he is, but I think the earring is a bit much.

[DeanWillis]

guys should never have anything pierced.

[eaeaea]

Why do you have my husband's Pic as your profile photo!

[llochew]

I don't think it really matters
