Men have been wearing earrings for millennia.
In the Bible, a man wore an earring to show that he was a ‘voluntary’ slave to his master.
According to the Laws of Moses, if a man was a slave and fulfilled his obligations for his freedom and still wanted to stay, his master was to give him a solid gold ring to put in his ear to show that he was not an indentured servant.
That is also why you always see a Genii depicted with an earring because they are a ‘slave of the Lamp’ ..................
Thanks. The ironic part is most piercings will return to normal after the metal is removed. While tattoos are a bear to remove. Best policy is to have a small tattoo on your foot. That can look sexy on a women.
