I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.
What about other pricings? Just earrings?
Nose studs always look like a booger to me. Wear your booger if you like, but it does not look good. I’m not staring because it’s somehow cool, but I keep wondering if you’ll notice e the booger on your face
So you’re staring, to be a judgemental asshole on purpose, and you’re proud of it. Interesting.
Proud of my eyes being pulled toward a booger on someone’s face out of revulsion? Sure, whatever gets you through the day
It’s not a booger, and it takes half a second to figure out it’s not one. You don’t have to “stare”, yet decide to do it, and to share the news on a public forum. If that’s not pride, what are you trying to convey, here? The fact it triggers revulsion for you is not anyone’s problem but yours lol
Sure, if a booger on your face is what you want people to notice about you, that is your choice
It’s your problem you can’t see anything else, not theirs. They could wear pink fuzzy clothes written “FUCK ME” on their ass - you are the one staring based on nothing but personal taste. But sure, let’s play pretend like they have to cater to your taste to avoid your gaze lol. It’s the same backwards logic used by misogynists when it comes to women wearing revealing clothes.
You’re either discussing out of bad faith and are actually perfectly aware and content with acting like an asshole, or you’re that much of a moron that you don’t even realize you’re the one seeing an imaginary booger. I’ll therefore stop this “discussion” here. Have a good one regardless.
I personally hate all piercing. Just looks wierd. But I will not judge people over it.
It also dislike jewelry in general though. Capitalist Hate me.
Indifferent on earrings. Can always take them out when you’re bored of the look.
Ear gauges look fucking awful though.
It’s those nose rings that go through that middle part between the nostrils like a cartoon bull that I don’t like. I just imagine them being caked with snot all the time.
I don’t know, my wife’s Lego minifig head earrings or dinosaur earrings, where half the dinosaur is in front of the lobe and half behind are pretty legit.
Your comment reminded me of this awesome person who made some earrings you can play DOOM on: https://www.gamesradar.com/yes-you-can-play-doom-on-these-earrings/ Creative people can do cool stuff
Different people find different things attractive, as surprising as it is.
What a useless comment
Different people find different comments useful, as surprising as it is.
I cummed
Finally, a useful comment
Different people have different fetishes, as unpopular as it is.
I don’t even know what my fetish is but these prudes want to keep me from finding out. I will fuck everything consensual until my boner is satisfied.
I have earrings because I like the way they look. That’s really all I mean, earrings are sexy. I don’t really see how there’s an issue with expressing that.
Internet user discovers what an opinion is.
went to a mexican back yard party. loud as fuck mariachi band, fun as hell. did some tequila shots, ate tacos, and danced. looked around and there were people dancing with babies in their arms. the babies had pierced ears. also, you could just pass the babies around apparantly.
I’m in Canada. Go back not even 20-30 years ago, parents were still piercing their babies’ ears pretty regularly. It’s a pretty recent phenomenon that people started waiting for their children to grow older. Many still do it.
IMHO… A tiny 18g earring like they’re doing to babies is not particularly invasive, takes a handful of hours to stop being sore, will extremely rarely infect if done by a reputable piercer, and will naturally close back up once removed. As far as controversial practices go, earrings are amongst the most inconsequential. Permanent body altering stuff like non-medical circumcision, now this, I have an issue with…
My wife is Colombian and her and her sister their ears pierced a few weeks into being born. Just part of the culture.
As an American from the Midwest, babies with pierced ears is pretty normal. It wouldn’t really get any looks or anything.
It was a great way to flash your bling back in the days
As some who has had 20+ piercings over the years and who knows people who have piercings. Generally we don’t get them because we think other people will find them attractive, we get them because we think they look good. I’m down to 4 piercings now because of things like jobs, but I do miss them.
Everyone’s tastes are different, while I think piercings look cool. I don’t think everyone suits them. An eyebrow piercing can look awesome on one person, and awful on another.
And some people flat out dislike them. That’s fine. So long as people aren’t shoving their opinions down people’s throats and trying to force them to change, differing opinions are a good thing. The world would be very boring if we were all the same.I’m the nerd with tattoos, dyed hair and piercings. A lot of people make shitty comments and I also get a lot of compliments. I don’t see the need people have to go up to and say or shout across the street a shitty comment at someone. Their choice in clothing/ piercings/ body art doesn’t affect your life. Move on. If someone thinks I look awful, that’s fine, that’s their view, I’m good with that. But outright going out of your way to voice your shitty comment to someone, that’s not cool.
My point is, your opinion is fine. But if you then attack someone because of that opinion, that’s not okay.
Mine are kind of mementos and have symbolic meaning… Oh, and they look nice.

Eh, I’m not a fan of lipstick on women. There is nothing inherently wrong with either. It’s all a matter of personal taste.
Seconded. Actually the whole “every woman has to wear makeup, earrings, purses etc” thing. Yes, many do and many people find it attractive. But not everybody - let people be themselves…
A very good “normal” example of body modification, just not as permanent. And there are degrees to that as well…I’ve seen lipstick colors that just enhance the lip color and give a sheen that I don’t think twice about, but even my favorite celebrities look off putting to me when made up “heavily”. I’m a bit on OP’s side as far as preferring the natural look, although minor studs or a small tattoo somewhere don’t catch my attention in a negative way, if I even notice.
I find makeup in general, and in fact hair colouring, mousse, etc. not attractive. I’m not saying it’s unattractive, but it makes me think, “why would you do that?”
I suspect it’s related to probably being on the spectrum. I find it difficult enough to understand people’s unspoken thoughts and emotions, without all the distraction and camouflage.
Red lipstick in particular. It makes everyone look like a clown. 🤡
I don’t get piercings in general tbh.
Which is ironic because I have tattoos.
Something about just jamming something in your body and leaving it there just seems fuckin weird to me.
Again I get the irony considering I have tattoos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
See I have no tattoos or piercings, and I find adding permanent art to myself fuckin weird. Different strokes for different folks.
The permanent part is what drives me nuts. I can’t settle on a color for any of my stuff day-to-day. I would love to have walls, appliances, clothes, etc. all be able to change color at a whim. I would be horrified by any tattoo I had 25% of the time I had it, I guarantee.
Ha, so you prefer the jabs to be an in and out affair instead of a permanent one 😛
I didn’t vote because I have no opinion about this and I’m indifferent about earrings
Though I do find gauges on the nostril or below the lip to be off-putting
Some earrings look incredible and some look…artistic, putting it nicely. Like with clothes, clothes that look good on one person do not look good on everyone. Of course there is also personal preference.
When it comes down to it though I do not think many women wear earrings to make them look pretty. They wear it to give themselves confidence, and I want to encourage and support this behavior whenever possible, even if it goes against my personal aesthetic (that is not to say I dislike earrings - this mostly applies to tattoos for me).
I wonder if this is an unpopular opinion. Personally I find them unpractical. They can get caught on stuff compared to things like tattoos so I’ve never been a fan.
That’s really only something you have to worry about with large hoop earrings (with rare exception).
Firstly: wow, an actual unpopular opinion!
Secondly: I will go so far as to say absolutely tooooons of people wear earrings that I personally find extremely silly, unfashionable, or outright gross.
Sorry ear plug people. They look goofy when theyre in and they look horrifying when theyre out.
Probably this opinion of mine comes from knowing a person who managed to get their … ear loop? caught on something and tear apart.
Also: I think its child abuse to force a 3 to 9 year old to get their ears pierced.
I used to date a person who worked at a Claire’s… and they would tell me that they would often, as in multiple times a week, have a family of recent immigrants from… India? Bangladesh? … come into the store, and they would have to physically restrain a screaming obviously unwilling child to get their ears pierced.
Anyway: I think it is too far to agree that earrings in general are just bad all the time, but there are lots of cases where theyre done poorly.

Tonight’s breaking story: Vexikron thinks it’s great when a two-year-old is given ear piercings!
Haha!
The youngest my ex was pretty sure they were forced to pierce was was 3.
For the record: It’s also child abuse to force a 2, 1, 0, or frozen zygote in an IVF lab to get it’s ears pierced unwillingly rofl.

Here it’s normal to do it to your toddler.
In America it’s “normal” to cut off part of your kid’s dick, doesn’t make it right.
I mean, I’m tattooed and pierced, and I still don’t personally agree with piercing children’s ears either. IMHO that’s a rather personal choice and should be made by the person itself, not parents. But IMHO, objectively speaking, it makes no sense to put both on the same level.
A tiny earring like kids get is about 20-18g - in the sub-millimetre range. Unless you go at a shitty venue with terrible hygienic practices, these things stop hurting in minutes, stop being sore after mere hours, a day or two tops, and are pretty much as reversible as can be. There’s very little “bad” about it except a child crying for a minute or two - and that already happens hundreds of times a day, when they get vaccines, when they wait a minute while you prepare their bottle, when they’re tired, or honestly, just cause they feel like shit and can’t tell you cause they don’t speak yet.
Chopping off foreskins has zero use outside religious belief or medically motivated surgeries, and has long-term, irreversible medical implications.
I still don’t agree with the act, but not all evil is created equal…
Did you think I thought it made it okay?
The fools, they should have told that child from the day they were born that they couldn’t have pierced ears until they were at least 12. The kid would start wheedling for it at 6 and they could “give in” at 8. The child would still cry after the first ear, but would sit still and say thank you afterwards.
