Calling people with stretched ears.

[Sketchy]

@Ilya

Hate to say it, but I agree. You’ll probably get upset at my post, but oh well.

For a couple reasons.

1. It grosses me out
2. It can’t POSSIBLY be good for you career wise (if you ever want to get a good job). I know if I was a manager and a kid walked in with that crap I would tell him to leave right on the spot. Discrimination? Possibly. But it’s also EXTREMELY unprofessional looking. I’d hire a slob with an untucked shirt before I hired someone with funky piercings or ear lobe thingamagingis.
3. It grosses me out
4. According to you guys, stuff grows around it, etc. That can’t be good for you, even if you do maintain it.

Obviously this is my opinion, and we all have one (whether for or against it) but this is one ‘style’ I do not comprehend. What the…I don’t even…

Good luck though. Hopefully you find a set(s) that works for you.

I have both ears done and they are fairly big. I also work in an office and deal with the general public allday also. On top of having the piercings i have a full sleeve and half sleeve. my ears are 00g maybe a tad bigger (7/16) due to the weight of the earrings. Mangers/ Bosses dont really care its getting accepted more and more in the work place.

I was actually thinking about doing this a few months ago . I have both ears pirced and my cartilidge done. I wasnt thinking on going big but bigger then just a regular pircing. Is it a pain in the ass ?

@DUKE LADUKE

hmm whats the smallest you can go ? You just force it in ? Like tdilogik and a highschool girl?

You can buy a set of tapers on line that goes from 18g down to 00g thats what i did. Taper set was like 24 bucks. took me about 2 months to get from 14g down to 00g

Hell no dude. Taper up. It’ll suck at first because it’ll go hella slow. Taper from regular piercing gauge to a 14 at the biggest, 16 is ideal. If it hurts stop and back it up a little, then leave it for a day or two, then push it the rest of the way through.

If it hurts, it hurts for a reason. If you tear your lobe at all it will make scar tissue. Scar tissue doesn’t stretch or heal even half as good as regular skin and it is a pain in the ass to get rid of. Some people’s ears can take a lot of scarring with no real ill effect, other people are way sensitive to it.

Really though, it shouldn’t ever hurt to stretch your ears. Above a 4 gauge stop using tapers also. Start using teflon tape or bondage tape to wrap the jewelry you have. One or two layers at a time, put the jewelry back in and give it a week, then do it again. Eventually you’ll hit the desired size.

Take it slow. Always. I hate seeing people rush their lobes and get blowouts and shit.

me also my buddies ears are GROSS hes at 3/4" and the amoutn of scarring is rediculous.
