Well then having settled that matter:
No, I for one don't really think it's the best of ideas. I mean, how many 50 year old men do you have to see with faded, wrinkled tatoos of semi-naked mythical sea creatures do people have to see before they decide maybe placing tatoos on their forearms where the sun will break down the pigment and make them look like gigantic patches of gangrene is not a good idea?
Ok, so one could stretch their ear, but then, when you're older there's no guarantee you will want to keep them that way, and it sounds a little irreversable...
Then again, it's your ears, feel free, but no complaining 20 years from now
