Earrings

[floit63]

Now that we're in open beta I figured I'd kick start this comm with a question.

Any lads here have pierced ears? If so, do you keep earrings in them? Any suggestions on how to wear earrings without being read as a girl? My responses will be in the comments.

I got my ears pierced as a "yay, started T!" gift to myself. I know, I'm kind of a freak. When they first were pierced I picked out a pair of basic silver studs which I obviously had to keep in for a few weeks. When I was allowed to switch them I went to a pair of silver double mars earrings I had gotten from a friend. Two-ish years later and one of the double mars stays in all the time. I switch out the other based on my mood, often something with a rainbow theme.

I generally say wear whatever you want so long as they're not dangly or overly "cute" (pink kittens and hearts are probably a bad idea). Most people don't pay much attention to studs so earrings are very rarely the item that keeps you from passing. Now that I do pass I'm getting myself a pair of dangling shears, but those will probably be worn rarely just because I'll be slightly androgynous for at least another two or so years (yay genetics).
