Currently I have both ears pierced with 12 gauge earrings, which is two sizes up from the standard earring's diameter. I plan on on sizing up and continuing to stretch my lobes once I find a new job. And no, I didn't loose my job because of my piercings. As for tattoos, those will have to wait until I can afford them in (hopefully) the near future. Personally, I love guys with piercings and tattoos, they're a huge turn on for me. As far as I'm concerned when it comes to tattoos and piercings the more the merrier and the bigger the better. I may be just a little biased about them. Many cultures have found tattoos and piercings a sign of beauty for centuries, and now we're just catching up. That's my two cents, take it or leave it.
