stretched ears

[Carpe_Diem]

who on this board has their ears stretched? to what gauge?

haha just bored so i thought i'd ask.

right now, i'm at 8g and going

[l2a3k2a3i]

i had mine at a 0 for like 2 years then took them out for my current job. Been without them for about 6 months now and im down to a 2.

[Creeper]

mine have been at 2's for a year now

[Giobatera]

Mine is currently at 4 gauges for about 4 months now, and I don't think I'll go any further

[YAR1S]

Mine have been at 00g for two years now

I've had them for so long that I'd feel odd without them.

I've had my left ear only at a 6 for years since like sophmore in high school, which was like 2000. I took it out a few weeks ago and it won't go in at all anymore but with some force, patience, some vaseline or something along with alot of screaming, I'm sure I can get it back in.

interesting -- can someone explain the gauges? Educate me. :smile:

Basically stretching out piercings to an enlarged size of preference :p

goes from
18g-16g-14g-12g-10g-8g-6g-4g-2g-0g-00g-7/16-1/2-5/8-7/8-1"
etc.

generally 1 month between stretches, going too quickly can result in tears commonly called "cat butt ears" (LOL, not kidding).
most people consider the 0g to 00g the size of "point of no return" meaning that the ear will probably never close up if stretching continues.

gauges = sizes
stretching = process

gauging = no technically a word (commonly confused)

[Carpe_Diem]

i have 0g titanium flesh tunnels that i'm dying to put in but unfortunately i have to wait

[YAR1S]

If you get to a comfortable size I'd totaly recommend this website:
http://bodyartforms.com/

they sell these tunnels called "earskins"
they are a very thin silicone tunnel that is flexable and very light... hey also make your gauges appear larger than they actually are.

Here they are:

those are what I'm wearing in my picture.... I ONLY wear them because my ears are sensitive to a lot of differnt materials and they dont have the same stinky effects as other materials used in plugs (besides wood of course that entirely absorbs the smell).

Do it right after you get out of the shower. That's when they are most stretchy ha. Saved me a few times back in the day.

[jclo3313]

Left ear 6g and 10g, right 8g and at one point I had my tounge up to a 6g.

[cali yaris]

Yes, this is California after all. :wink: But now I know there's a whole language for it too!

[Giobatera]

I think I wanna go to the next gauge now......2g here I come..:burnrubber:

[SilverBack]

Interesting. I've seen a few people around with those but didn't know what to make of it. Must be the new style of piercing.

Got the sudden urge to make a towhook joke, but I'll behave himself (this time) :smile:

[YAR1S]
