Male Piercings

I got my first ear piercing over a 3-day liberty weekend while at NAPS!!

Got it after practice on Friday, and then wore it overnight. Put in one of those sensitive ear clear inserts from the backside and clipped it off in the front with no protruding part so it just looked like an old earring hole. Gunny looked at it briefly at inspection the next week, and didn't even blink. Got two more after leaving the Academy. :p

Does your DS have any? Asking for a friend 😏
 
Nope! (But his older brother does).

Although, he had pretty long hair over the COVID stay-at-home period. Made him chop it all off before reporting to NSO last summer.

I waited until I left the military to grow out my hair. ;)
 
Since this thread is being revived and brought back from the dead, I'll offer my two cents:

You can't wear them in uniform. If you wear them out of uniform, nobody cares.
 
It's interesting to read back to 2011 and consider today as an example of a cultural shift in terms of what's accepted - such as the thought back then that if you wear an earring you must want to be a girl.

I was gonna quote those replies and well yk, reply to them but I didn’t wanna ruffle any feathers.

Yes, in 2021 those comments seem ridiculous to me

I am almost 60. So men wearing earrings, nail polish, piercings and tattoos still bother me. I can live with a stud or a little hoop on the ear but those stretched-out holes both men and women are putting in their ears grosses me out. I can live with a tattoo but the piercing is too much. I hate those little nose studs. At first glance i think their noses are dirty. I realize i sound like an old man, but people have just gone too far, if you ask me. (nobody is asking)

Haha! I'm 61 and I've adjusted mainly by considering that my parents must have said the same thing about things I was wearing/doing/listening/watching at 21 that they thought went too far. I agree about the gauges though (stretched out ears).
 
People have been piercing, branding, scarring, inking, painting, hanging dangly shiny bits, plucking, shaving, modifying (the tongue-slitting thing!!!) and otherwise having fun with their bodies in the name of decoration and beautification or messaging since the first cave person styled a bone through a fleshy part. I think the rest of the animal kingdom must laugh at us.
