Go for it.

I have a small keliod above one of my ear pierces (it's hardly noticeable though), but that's because I played with the ring too much and had a hard time keeping the piercing clean.

To avoid getting keliods just keep the piercing clean with a mixture of water and sea salt (do not use table salt), keep the gage size small, and get it done by a professional (I got my second set done by a pro and it was so much better than the first time I got it done by a Claire's saleswoman; and it's safer).

Be careful... if you've already had a keloid, you may be likely to get them from the ear piercing. As far as having big earlobes, that shouldn't make any difference...

Okay. No one in my immediate family got their ears pierced because they had the keloid fear. I have a couple keloids and I finally got my ears pierced when I was 18. I have not had any problems. My uncle and cousins all have pierced ears and keloid skin but none on their ears. I cleaned my new piercings excessively though!

Ok you shouldn't get your ears pierced thats just not normal for guys too get it pierced i mean thats just weird you should research it 1st this place gives you a lot of info u should try it!!!!!!!!!
