People with Huge ear rings/ear stretching

    just noticed a number of people over the last month or so with these huge ear hole ring things that are like big friggin circles inside the place were a normal ear ring would go. It is like having a piece of 3/4 inch pipe in your lug.

    Why would people do that if all you are left with is a huge drooping ear with a large hole in it? Can these people not see past being 16-21?

    I doubt those size of holes ever close.

    This is the type of thing I mean http://asoboo.com/images/full/44912.jpg

    Why?

    i've heard the expression 'to talk a hole in someones ear' but thought it was purely metaphorical

    It really brings new meaning to the song

    Do your ears hang low,
    Do they wobble to and fro,
    Can you tie them in a knot,
    Can you tie them in a bow,
    Can you hrow them over your shoulder,
    Like a continental soldier,
    Do your ears hang low?

    I've worked for many multinational companies (if that's what your into), have a degree in computer science and am pretty happy with my life. Just because I decided to stretch my lobes doesn't instantly mean I'm some "grade A" waster, or angsty teen.

    Each to their own I suppose... I bet anyone with plugs likes it. Just because it's not an interest of yours doesn't mean they won't enjoy it when they get past 21 years of age!

    Well, I'm past 21 and have a degree and a skilled fulltime job.

    My lobes are only 1/2" though, maybe if I make them a bit bigger I can finally get that part-time carnival dream job...

    Why do you do it? To be different? Have you a pic I can see? How big is the hole?

    Heh, takes a couple of glances :P


    On the ear thing. I once seen a guy dressed in a suit and tie with a stretched lobe, it didn't take anything away from the look. Quite a dapper gent he was.

    I did it because I liked the way they looked, and figured they would suit me. I didn't do it to be different or to rebel. I started when I was 20, am 23 now. I'm not posting my pic in AH no. The holes are 1" or 25.4mm.

    schism: coulda been me. And no, I was not going to a court appearance :pac:

    Do you think you will still wear them when you are 65?

    It's not something I jumped into. I had my lobes pierced for 2 years before and thought about it long and hard. It's not something you go into on a whim, if you do your a bit silly.

    When I'm 65? Who knows, it's 42 years away. Long time away, il let you know.

    So you didn't think too far ahead. That is what I thought. Thank you for your answers.

    I pretty much thought that about the few I had seen.

    I can't honestly say because I don't know what the future holds. I went into it knowing they were for life, so if you want an answer then yeah I will wear them when I'm 65. Rockin down the street with a load of OAP biatches at my feet :pac: :cool:

    You old judgemental so and so! What's with all this long term thinking nonsense! You sound like Pigheads mother! Live for the now and stop being so rigid and bound by rules. If you saw a red stripey jumper would you not buy it on account of the fact that stripes look dodgy on old people?

    Good for you :)

    When I get redundant I can see a market for ear plastic surgery ;)

    Not my thing but I have tattoos so I'm not against body modding, it only seems somewhat outrageous because it's relatively new.. piercings and dying your hair were new once too
