Ear Stretching

I Think It's Gross, Sorry But Thats Just My Opinion I Have A Friend Who Is Currently Doing It And She Knows How Much I Hate It And She Puts A Straw Though It And Every Thing It Makes Me Feel Sick, Sorry Probably Not What You Want To Hear. But Imaging When You're 70 And It Sags.

I think it looks hot on a guy.   I could never do it... I'm completely paranoid about the fact that "ears never stop growing" due to the abuse the cartilage takes on a daily basis.   Sometimes I can't sleep at night because I worry my ear is folded on the pillow.  I'm neurotic, I know.

I personally wouldn't do it, and they usually smell terrible, but they do look good for a few tears:D

there was a guy in my art class who took his plug out one lesson and he could fit around 7 pencils through his ear, it nearly made me throw up. |: It's 'ok' on guys that only have a small plug in, but i just find it revolting on girls.

sorry, my personal opinion. nothing agaisnt you lovey

I think it's gross. When you get older, you're going to have the most disgusting saggy ears imaginable. D:

I'm also not a major fan...but then again I don't have tattoos or any piercings other than my ears. So I'm probably a bit of a prude when it comes to my body - I am also someone who thinks about the future and I avoid things I know I'll regret in 5 yrs or so. I also have stuff like the job to worry about...so if I can't easily hide it - it won't fly.

But whatever makes you happy - just try to factor in the future in your decision.

nothing to do with the topic i love kingdom hearts

I do think they can look really horrible...
I think aslong as its like a solid plug (not one you can look through, like just a ring in your ear) then i think their fine.
how big are you planning on going?

I have stretched lobes.
It's not irreversible, but they do say 10mm is the point of no return.
My piercer (very trustworthy, gives good advice, has stretched lobes himself) said that lobes heal 10mm back, so for example, if you stretched them to 12mm you'd always have a 2mm hole still, but don't let that put you off.
My stretch is the second hole up on my left ear, it's at 8mm and I've had it for about a year or so.
I did stretch my right ear first but I did get complications, but that was my fault because I took the silicone 8mm tunnel that my piercer stretched it with (from 6mm) out before it was healed properly, so I was in some pain and I had to bathe it a lot, but it's healed now, and I keep a BCR in it.

What size were you planning on going?

How I stretched it was from a pierced stud, then eyebrow bar (1.2mm), then a tounge bar (1.6mm), then I went onto tapers... from 1.6 to 3.2 did hurt a bit, but what doesn't help is that I didn't use Vaseline like my piercer told me to... so... I suggest taking it slowly, using Vaseline or any other sort of lubrication to insert tapers and not jumping up from mm's too fast.
A guy I know went from 3mm to 8mm, and his ear split, so take it a millimetre at a time or so.

If you need to know anything else, look on sites like bmezine.com

Hope it helps.

I dnt reli like the look of it personally.

I think it's disgusting. Deforming yourself to conform to the non-conformists? That's how I see it... I think it's quite pathetic really, and when my wee sister started stretching hers, I took it out in her sleep. I think it looks common, cheap and desperate. And disgusting.

i love it on i have an 8m and 4m but wouldnt go bigger then an 8m
but i do think some poeple got to big like past 20s
