I have some, just wondering after a few conversations recently, if I should keep them or if I'm getting too old now! Thoughts please....

Earings, I have 3 in each ear and another one at the top of my left ear.

Belly button, have a ring in there.

Tongue.

Lip piercing, very rarely put anything in that these days.

    never too old for them, I only have 2 in my left ear but I fancy getting more. The one at the top of my ear has healed over now.

    never worry about being to old, or i'd worry about dressing in skate shoes and baggy jeans

    As old as you like. That doesn't sound like too many to be freakish. The only really visible one is the lip anyway and it doesn't sound like you're too bothered about that.

    I'm old and wear either a rose gold loop (matches my wedding ring) or if I'm racing, a Ti stud (matches my Ti 'racing' wedding ring).

    It was only the lip one I was seriously thinking of getting rid of really.

    I like it, but only sometimes....

    see I like lip piercings very much, as long as its a proper lip one and not a half an inch up chavvy located one. I presume though its in the normal place

    I'm approaching 43 and have had earrings for 34/35 years(not the same ones obviously),only 3 now used to have about 10,wore a nose ring for 20 years until I was 34,only took it out as it didn't go with glasses and have a PA which I had done in 1991 which I think will probably stay forever :)

    +potato on the PA, though I need a new 'fitting' as the old one was too heavy and stretched the japs eye...resulting in lady-wees for life! :oops:

    OP, assume you got piercings for yourself, so why worry what anyone else thinks?

    I just realised. I didn't even think it strange I got that information on a mountain biking forum.

    There's a ralway crossing at one point in Cannock Chase. I can't remember if the sign's still there, but it used to say like 'WATCH OUT! BE CAREFUL! 3 million people have been injured at this crossing!'... I so wanted to stop and write 'POIDH' on it. But, I never remembered to take the stencils, paint, various chemicals, generator and air compressor with me on my bike.

    i always figured it's down to whether you can carry them off without looking a a bit of a tool.

    Earings, I have 3 in each ear and another one at the top of my left ear.

    does it look decent and tasteful? .....then fine. you can always take some out and rearrange so no problem
    Belly button, have a ring in there.

    does your belly hang over your jeans? yes? ........take it out people are laughing.

    are you in shape? yes? ........tasteful ones can look half decent
    Tongue.

    never seen the point anyway so i'm biased
    Lip piercing, very rarely put anything in that these days.

    as above but the right nose ring can look good......but they get crusted up bad.

    so in summary; maybe but possibly not as you get older

    is my 2¢

    From other age-related posts, I'd say 29 or 30? According to Nicklouse, we're siblings and he's our dad. A turn-up for the books, but far from the strangest news I've ever had.

    When you have to wear dentures, that's when you're too old. wouldn't want to catch your lip ring/stud when taking your false teeth out at night :lol:
