How do you attach them to the fish? Must not be clip-ons.

I know fish have gills.
I didn't know they have ears.

They're pierced (the fish, that is.) Technically, the ears are optional.

Ichthys (Greek: ἰχθύς, capitalized ΙΧΘΥΣ; also transliterated and Latinized as ichthys, icthus, ichthus or ikhthus; ichthus), is the Ancient and Classical Greek word for "fish." In English it refers to a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish, said to have been used by early Christians as a secret symbol and now known colloquially as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish."
I think it's a great conversation starter. If it's gets people to ask what it is and what it means why not.

G56:
So as a conversation starter, well worth it for women or men to at least one earlobe embedded with one, then.
Take care.

I am M, and a fish earring was given to me as a gift from a very special person.
I almost never wear an earring, but if I got the fish on, I hope it is a conversation starter!!!!

Well, I know what you are talking about. But do you like the other fish earrings. The ones that are long and that cross at the bottom. They dangle? I might have to find a picture for you.

Great to see you on this thread as well. So you think that they suit men as well? (and are maybe effective as a conversation starter?)
Take care.

Well the ones I am talking about would not look good on a man, but the ones you are talking about...sure.
I am not a HUGE earring person. I was 16 when I got my ears pierced for the first time and my lil 11 year old sister got hers done with me. I didn't want to do it and finally I agreed. I was shaking and they got the earring gun stuck in my ear. So I have problems with that ear. And both ears because I have to have the non-allergenic kind of earring!
But yea, good convo starter if I do say so myself
How are you this evening?

Im fine thnx.
So you're a conservative 'one earring in each ear' lady, are you?
You do agree, then, that a man's earlobe studded with an earring which is a conversation-starting, faith-related one, can be positive?
Take care.

Yes I agree!
And yep, conservative for the moment. I was thinking about getting my nose pierced.

Sounds nice, anyway. You know that the Lord in Ezekiel 16.12 gave Zion a nose ring? and Rebekah in Genesis had one too, right.
So is there a good parlor near you, for you to have your nose done?
I think men should be able to participate in a bit of ear piercing if they want to, especially if the jewelry can be faith related, such as a fish symbol, etc.
Take care.

What piercings do you have?

And what does your mom think of your nose piercing plans?
Hey, I'm aged in my 40s and have worn my earrings for years.
Take care.
[BTW: this site is quite heavily moderated and they like ppl to keep strictly to topic; why not start a 'nose piercing' thread in this Miscellaneous area? just a suggestion.]

My Mom doesn't think it to be lady-like. But I am 21 and so I guess it is up to me now?

I would, but it really isn't a broad topic to me. What would I talk about?
I like this though, you already have it started. I am sure that there are different colors of the fishie earrings and also different sizes.

Well, you know, I think either a fish style stud or a small fish pendant can be good for a man.
