Why do people wear earrings, especially men?

I've got a full upper arm (shoulder to elbow) tattoo of a tigers head that took around four solid hours to complete and was a little uncomfortable at times but I can't even imagine how it would feel to actually get branded......burns frigg'in hurt !

This was a cover, have to have it darkened some time. Sophie is gray now, part German Shepherd so she used to be brown black. Like you say this took almost four hours with the detailing. Wise to bring a good book;)

Mine is a black and grey portrait of a tigers face and was initially done in Thailand back in the early 70's.......I had it redone / touched up about five years ago.
 
You know what has to hurt is those countries where they do tribal design by pounding the ink in there. Think there was a show where Anthony Bourdain got his like that.
 
I never wore earrings at all, first had my ears pierced at the age of thirty and only owned a few pairs of earrings, a gold stud, diamond stud, and a tiny dangling gold square. They never felt comfortable and irritated my ears, so I only wear them once in a blue moon is we go out and I'm dressed up a bit. I don't like any jewelry, and only wear my wedding band on a daily basis. I always liked one small stud earring on men, but my husband has no interest at all in wearing earrings or other jewelry, except for a watch when needed, like when we go camping. I have a small pastel colored tattoo in an area that can only be seen if I wear a french cut bikini (upper rear), its of a pale yellow rose with pastel blue clouds and a small rainbow. My husband doesn't have any tattoos.
 
I got my ears pierced when I was 13 and love earrings of all sorts, but find that now as I get older I can only wear 100% gold or silver as the mixed metals cause irritation. I keep them less dramatic now than I used to when I was younger, but I still love dangling earrings. No tats though.
