Pretty much this.Dangit2019 said:In my opinion:
Light streching (like Dangit's first picture) looks okay, but those huge holes are literally disgusting to me. Exactly like lip and neck stretchers, or binding feet.
It looks bloody TERRIBLE.
Even worse is when a guy I know who's stretched his ears takes the rings out. It looks like someone took a flamethrower to his flesh. It's gross. Please don't do it.

Love that shit. I would if I was one of that style. I'm more of the 90's punk combined with early, sagged loose pants from hardcore. Don't do piercings myself, but I love chicks with them. And don't get me started on tats. Tunnels I like, though I prefer disks to loop gauges.
It's a horrible idea and you will regret it later. Do yourself a favor and just get an earring or something.
One of my dad's friends is in his 60's and he has stretched ear lobes. He has a ring that sorta hangs from the one, like perpendicular and suchly. Of course, his nickname is "Pirate"...Daystar Clarion said:I can't wait for the day, when I'm old and grey, and I see other old and grey men and women with huge holes in their ears because they made a short-sighted cosmetic choice
I was about to mention the fight thing, think about how fucking bad it would be to have big tearable handles on your head in a fight, that's just asking for an extremely painful and embarrassing experience if you ask me.Lucem712 said:
Also, only the little ones look halfway decent, anything I can put my thumb through(or larger) looks nasty on anyone.
Or when you're 45 and you look like you made holes in your ears because you're having a mid-life crisisAbandon4093 said:You mean that time in your life when you already have a mountain of excess skin and look like what I imagine Gary Busey's scrotum spat back out?Daystar Clarion said:I can't wait for the day, when I'm old and grey, and I see other old and grey men and women with huge holes in their ears because they made a short-sighted cosmetic choice
You may think flesh tunnels and the like look cool now, but just wait.
Age will make a cynic out of you yet
Yea I'ma go ahead and not really care too much about that.
Seriously though, I hate that argument. Why is everyone so concerned with what they'll look like as a geriatric? You'll look like hell no matter what you do. May aswell enjoy your youth while it lasts.
OT: I've got a size 10 stretcher coil in my left ear. And 2 size 3 stretchers in my right. I like em, and they're quite often a conversation piece. Don't really plan on getting any larger ones.
Guess I'll stop lurking now...
I personally have 6mm tunnels and I wouldn't recommend anything higher than 10mm. If you keep them relatively small it generally looks better and is easier to just put in flesh coloured plugs to make them less noticeable if you have to.

I would not go for it, they look ugly. If you what to do something in your spare time, become a coffee addict.
It looks ugly and only ugly people should do it...so go right ahead!
but seriously that shit looks so unattractive but if you really want to then go ahead.

Pfft, as soon as Deus Specs become available, I'll be getttin' me some of those.Abandon4093 said:By the time I'm 45 it won't be quite as odd. 50 year olds will be walking around with implants, tattoos and stretchers all over the place.Daystar Clarion said:Or when you're 45 and you look like you made holes in your ears because you're having a mid-life crisisAbandon4093 said:You mean that time in your life when you already have a mountain of excess skin and look like what I imagine Gary Busey's scrotum spat back out?Daystar Clarion said:I can't wait for the day, when I'm old and grey, and I see other old and grey men and women with huge holes in their ears because they made a short-sighted cosmetic choice

And we'll likely be complaining about how the youth of today have no respect for their bodies because they're injecting animal DNA or replacing body parts with machines or some such (one can dream.)
Point being social norms change, and the amount of people body modding and tattooing at the minute means that attitudes to such things will change, and quickly I imagine.
Mostly so I can do this.

Motherfuckers got swag.
Hell, I imagine as soon as technology advances to a point where we can transfer our consciousness to machines (think Ghost in the Shell), I don't think I'd pass up the chance at eternal life, or close to it. That's assuming that it happens in my life time of course
I personally wouldn't do it but I'm afraid of regular piercing because I believe I would get them hung up on stuff all the time. As it is now I alway manage to hook my belt loops on stuff when I pass too close, I'd hate to do that too my ear. I see a lot of people condemning them as a ugly but I like the way some of them look, the guy who does my hair has the cool blue stones he puts in his but I have seen some that are pretty obscene cries for attention. As for the whole you'll have to deal with it when you get old argument, while I've never looked into this I imagine that getting them to look like regular earlobes again should be pretty easy now so long as you don't mind them chopping off your excess earlobe and stitching it back to a normal shape and Cosmetic surgery like that is only going to get better as technology gets better. In a few more decades we may have nanomachine surgery that can restore your earlobes to their original prestreched state.
In short though I wouldn't recommend them, particularly if you're looking for a good job but in the end you gotta be you.
