42! I would definitely laugh.

Mid-life crisis?

42?? Oh dear... Grin

Obviously you can't stop him, but I'm guessing you'd rather he didn't?!

If it's just one ear, you have hope. Barely.

To me.... well, I just hope it doesn't happen to my man.

Can't he pierce his scrotum or something?

Hideously, and unreasonably sexist of me - but I think men with pierced ears look absolutely ridiculous. Especially middle aged men!

Just NO

It might be ok if he goes to a proper piercing place and gets a solid bit of silver.

Anything but a dainty gold sleeper!

It's a slippery slope. Next it will be a motorbike, you mark my words.

Oh dear! When you say ears.. Does he actually want both doing? Even Lewis Hamilton cannot pull off this look..
Heaven forbid he wants diamond studs! Grin

SirChenjin - you have totally just reminded me of my friend's dh who suddenly had both a tattoo and his ear pierced. He was having an affair.

I think it depends on his personal style, for example is he a heavily tattooed biker and wants one ear done.

If he's a fairly standard dressing bloke then it's like trying to recapture his youth amd he will look a bit daft. But it is his ears.
