honestly, idk why people do it... but
i do it cause Aztecs(my ancestors) were among the first to use these to determine class in society
i can trace my roots down to a high ranking warrior tribe that had black gauges and were only about 00'
so i will not go bigger.
so i have a reason for mine

Yeah and my ancestors ran around in loin cloths with tribal paint on their face. So your point is?

Pics

True story, about 3.5 years back I helped an old white guy, around 70-80 that had gauged ears that were at least the size of the first picture. Iwas ringing him out, and thought he had on a hat with the ear flaps that come down, and I looked up at him, and he wasn't wearing a hat

I did a double take. He didn't have anything in them at the time, so theywere all floppy. I'm pretty sure he had something in both nostrils too. This was in small town Iowa of all places.

I'm at 1/2 inch, won't go any bigger because to next step up I feel is too big...right now, its perfect.

And to th person that asked, I'm 31, and I work in the Meat dept of a grocery store. I have had my ears like this for about 7 or 8 years and have had anumber of jobs. It has never been a problem, more of a conversation starter then a problem. I have gotten into long convos in interveiws about them and itturns out good because they see my socializing skills. I work with poeple all day and I must say, old people ask about them atleast once a day, buuuttttt theyactually like it rather then disise it...

That just sounds wrong.

what's the point of anything you do to "enhance" your appearance? you like the way it looks.. whether that means the newest jays or getting your scrotum pierced, beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend

wait... you think gauges "enhance" your appearance?...

I was a cashier at the time. I thought it sounded better than "checking him out" but I guess I forgot to mention this was at work.

100% agree! That was the worst jump for me, everything else was cake. And the girl thing, also a plus, seems like black chicks dig it more than white chicksfor some reason...lol

Use water-based lubricant to lessen friction
Don't rush (I did 3/week when I first started

. No bueno)

I started mine off today with a 16G. Went in super easily ... should have just did 14G.

 

[kanyewestjayz4life]

If you dont understand it, i guess its just not for you.
Im starting mine pretty soon. Im not going OD prolly just a 6 max.
Pretty much i like to experience everything i can, and i saw this as something i might be interested in doing.

Im starting with 10g. i might just go down to 4g later in the line. I just want it to be the perfect size in my eyes.

 

[naughtywon]

i just started with 14... gonna stop at 4

 

[omgitswes]

when I was into hardcore all my friends had theirs gauged and I wanted to do it so bad. thank god my mom didn't let me, but there's still a tiny placein my heart that still wants to do it

 

[j23s]

I'm most likely going to stop at an 8G or 6G ... I think those look best on girls. I'm not going to a 0, or double zero.

 

[patsilog55]

i was at 1/2 but took em out for work. too bad i rushed the process cause now when i try to re-gauge them the scar tissue bleeds instantly. sucks.

 

[moneyright]

this is so lame,

 

[bluelamborghini]

My gauges ... still in progress.
