Well, i've been thinking if I should stretch my ear. For people who don't know what it is. It's putting bigger size ear rings in to make a bigger hole in your ear lobe.

Now, i've been told it really hurts. So if anyone who has had it done could please post how much it hurt & what size your at now. Thanks for your time!

Don't, it looks retarded.

It doesn't hurt if you do it properly.

If you need any help with it, add my msn.

Yeah, I don't think you should even do it at all.

What country is this popular in? America?

I'm from the UK and its very popular, all my friends seem to like it.

I personally wouldn't get it but...their are some people who find it 'attractive' and 'cool'...sooo I think we should respect his decision

My best mate has it done. Yes, it really hurts, they don't lie. It depends on some things. Would it look good on you and does your hair match it? Yes, the hair does matter. Just make sure you don't make a mistake because if you stretch it too big, it will leave a scar there.

Oh boy. He's referring to the correct term called "gauges". Yeah, if you're not a total fucking idiot, it won't hurt.

Honestly, you should probably have a regular ear piercing (for at least six weeks.) before attempting to gauge. Go slow and don't jump sizes like a complete fuck. From smallest to biggest, sizes:

18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 00 (They go down by two's)
Once you hit 00 is goes 7/16 6/8 1 (1=inch)

18-00 = Measured in MM's (millimeters)

After six weeks of a regular ear piercing, go to size 18, and so on.

Wait 2-4 weeks per jump. (You normally can do 18 - 14, 14 - 10, 10 - 6) if you wait a good three weeks per sizing. Try to avoid the gauges titled "tappers" for a LONG time.

(They look like needles that are thick, then thin) Those, every time, will hurt like a bitch, and make your lobes bleed/throb for hours. Sleeping with them in, also a major pain.

I'd suggest using pinchers till about size 0. (The ones that look like rings, but have to ends on them).

Once you hit 0 (if you want to go on) use tappers then, then put the plugs in.

NEVER buy plugs for the next size WITHOUT HAVING TAPPERS, plugs DONT go in if they're bigger than your lobe.

Just be careful, it gets addicting to gauge because you always find them smaller than they are.

If you ever resort to tappers, lube your ears, or do it in the shower. Be sure to do it in the early morning, so that way you can sleep with plugs in.

Enjoy.


Edit - once you hit 00 (like 10MM) they WONT HEAL OVER TIME.

This is absolutely retarded. it hurt's like fuck! watch the video on Youtube!

Everyone on youtube jumps insane sizes...

I think they're cool as long as you don't get them done ridiculously big so it would catch the attention from someone a half mile away from you.
The only downside?
The smell.

I think my hair would suit it. I have quite long hair. I'm also from the UK & alot of my friends have got theres stretched. But i keep thinking about jobs in the furture :/

grr idiots like you piss me the fuck off. You clearly know fuck all about stretching. It is absolutely painless if you take it slow, there is a myth going around that you can only go to 8mm's before it is to late but its actually over 12 depending on your body.

Will it ever go back?
You probably wouldn't want it when you're 70.

Having big ears is not nice.

Don't do it. You'll want a respectable job when you're older, and good luck getting one with huge holes in your ears.

Go for it dude, it's your life.

If you have any intelligence left from considering it, don't do it. You will look like a tool.

I don't think he's considering going that far.
