Ear gauging- opinions?

[Stanley Design]

If you do them properly they will heal completely if you don't wear jewelry in them anymore. The reason most people with big ones have cat-butts or have to get they surgically fixed is because they stretch way too fast and have blowouts. A blowout is when you stretch the fistula (the flesh on the inside of the piercing) to breaking point it then heals with scar tissue. Time after time, more scar tissue builds up and your ear loses elasticity.

If you stretch slowly over a long period of time you wont cause a blowout and wont have scar tissue. My ears were close to an inch at one point, now I couldn't put girl earings in my ears without pushing.

Well as long as we're talking fistula's and praise worship bands, you might get the unexpected consequence of creating another option in the 'waiting until you get married' game. That could definitely add a new funk to the funk coming from your earhole if you know what I mean.

What is going on in this thread? I read the last page, but I'm waaaay to lazy to go back and read it form the OP. Would anybody care to sum it up for me?

Get them.
Stretch them huge.

I wonder what TBers opinions of ear stretching/gauging is and whether anyone here has them?

I will admit I've considered getting them...

this thread got WAY more hilarious in the last 3 pages.

and I'm surprised! We got another girl on TB. The sausage to... uh... [hey guys, what's a good edible comparison to the female genitalia] ... [instert euphemism here] ratio has just been decreased.


as far as ear stretching goes, I think they actually look quite good if and only if I can't fit more than one finger through the hole. Anything more and it looks highly disproportionate to the rest of your face.

Personally I think gauges look neater than plain post piercings. My ears are 1/2" so far (goal being 1") and I don't think they look ridiculous, I love them. Plus, they match my bass.

Wow. Where did you come from?! I'm very tempted to hit on you to no end until you are driven from the forum due to the sheer annoyance or I get banned.

I guess what I'm trying to say is... Sweet piercings, they complement your loveliness.

aaaand Maki wins again!

As long as she avoids the "Look at me look at me look at me" posts that helped DISENCHANT me with TB somewhat, I promise not to drive her off.

aw c'mon, you know you love yellow raincoats and KFC buckets

I think you'll find that it's the 'hot-dog-to-bun-ratio'.

Yeah, that's a good one...although that it implies that by default there are 4 women to every 3 men (based on the 6 hot dogs per package 8 buns per package thing)...which we all know never happens.
