cant speak for the majors, BUT i did have my ears at a 00 gauge for a while (a little less than 1/2" hole for you non-body-mod types)... could put a golf tee thru it...
about a year before anticipated graduating i went ahead and took them out. they closed up fine, now just looks like i had my ears pierced at one point (small hole) but I dont wear any jewelry in them and no one has ever commented on them, nor said "hey did you have your ears pierced ever?"
i also had no less than 3 holes in my lip at one point in time. those also came out. and only one of the holes left any sort of scar or small dimple in my face. hell, could be an acne scar for all anyone knows.
the only people who have ever noticed or commented on the small scar in my lip were people who also had their lip pierced at some point or are familiar with piercings and such.
point being, take them out well ahead of when you plan to "go work" or "be professional" but i cant honestly imagine a casual observer noticing OMG THIS MAN HAD HIS EARS PIERCED AT ONE TIME!! SUCH A DEVIANT!!!
just think, can you name the last person you saw with pierced ears or holes where piercings were at one time? probably not. its just not something youd really notice unless its a screamingly obvious 1" wide hole in your lobe or tattoos on your face.
besides, my nose is ugly, so that steals the attention.
