Covering-up an ear piercing?

[xynder]

I just got my ear cartilage pierced in 2 places today... is there any inconspicuous way of covering the earrings up (can't take them out for like 12 weeks) because males can't wear earrings where I work. I was thinking maybe like medical tape, or like a bandaid or something. If they ask me about it, I'll just say like I was getting my ear pierced and they screwed up so now the doctor says I have to wear this tape or something.

Ideas?

I wasn't allowed to have them at work either, so I used a bandaid to cover them up. I have two in the cartilage so it was a little harder to cover them up.

If they ask why you have a bandaid there just say: "It's personal and I don't want to talk about it."

This is probably a stupid question, but if you aren't supposed to have them at your place of business, why did you get them in the first place?

I got mine before I was hired.

I'm not going to let some stupid workplace stop me from putting holes in my head.

Yeah, I think I'll go for a band-aid. Doctor's orders, you know.

Ok, just don't come around here bitching if you get fired.

use some medical gauze, it lets it breath better than a bandaid. I sure hope you didn't get it pierced with a gun... if you have no attachment to them right now, i'd takethem out and let them heal up just to make things easier, instead of walking around with a bandage on your ear every day you work.

Get a better job. Or maybe try and get the rule changed. Or be a man, grow some balls and forget the silly band-aid crap.

yeah medical tape sounds like a good idea. or maybe I can get away with taking them out for a few hours

if you take it out, leave it out. you'll just iritate the wound if you take it in and out
