Bassists with Gauges? Club?

Hey all,

I know pics of yourself are rare on this website, but I have not seen any other bassists with gauged ears...

Anybody else stretch their lobes? I'm currently at half an inch, debating to go further. All my other friends but one have stopped there, and he's at 3/4" :hmm:

So, lobe stretchers?
 
have u ever seen the Brent Riggs from Job For A Cowboy

Nope. Just a pierced tongue and eyebrow. I used to have 4 piercings in my tongue all at once, but my tongue just weighed too much and it made it tough.

What's the largest your lobe can be gauged without requiring surgery to close them up. Isn't it a 2?

I heard it's a 00.

The only downside to having gauges is they're kinda expensive and some of them have a habit of falling out.

There are least three major picture threads plus various
photoshop threads.

Two are stickied in this forum alone. BUFF Guys do gigs
and Show stupid old pictures, the more embarrasing the better.

Also, the Chicks at Shows threads often has bassist pictures
on the photoshop threads are in OT. They get bumped every
once in a while.

(No gauges here, sorry...) :)
