I sometimes wear two earings--one diamond for wedding, one birthstone, both as a present from my wife.

Still got mine on, even after this thread.

Although I am considering getting it laser cut as someone had mentioned.

I did too. I did run into some issues explaining to my wife why I needed to do this. So, she took hers off. Now we are both safe.

 

[treehumper]

Did you show her the pictures of what you might end up looking like by leaving the ring on when at work?

My wife would have a bigger problem with that then me taking my ring off. Now if it were at a bar that might be a different story!

rings are bad.....but i dont wear chaps much either. I suck. My wife got over me not wearing mine....she trusts me.

I like the idea of a tatoo.

After seeing that picture, I am taking mine off and never putting it back on! I have had a ring on through two marriages and never had a problem, but that picture just scared the hell out of me.....

I'm re-thinking keeping my ring on.

Yeah, that was a nasty pic.

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

Wait! I have the solution!!! Safety Rings

I now have the feeling that I have P'od a lot more women than I ever thought I could...well O.K. maybe not that many...After the wedding I don't think I'm going to where the ring while doing tree work, Jeeping, or working on equipment/vehicles. Those were some nasty pictures and I'm sure that must be a LONG healing process if there IS a healing process!!

[mattmann]

I'm set on the tattoo I'll get mine in august. that way I'll be on vacation so I can heal with out work!

Met many a woman I would die for but not one I would lose a finger over. When I climb, ring comes off

My wedding ring actually saved me once. I was hooking up a black locust tree with no lanyard on, something I did all the time when I was younger and didn't have a family. My hooks kicked out and slid down the tree until my wedding ring caught on a little stub and caught me enough to break my fall so I could get my hooks in. It was an eye opener for me and I think that is when I started to use a lanyard more. Today I wouldn't even think of not being tied in.

My ring arrived for next months wedding. I went with tungsten carbide. I won't be wearing it while doing tree work though...

My ring is silver. Pretty soft but I usually take it off.
