Those ear expanding, lobe stretching things

[Fume troll]

Good thinking youths, that's going to look awesome when you're 50!

Back in my day the only stretched lobes you saw outside of National Geographic were on the fast road cams you were putting in your mini, and the kids who did get tattoos usually knew to keep it where it would be covered up for e.g. a job interview. Simple times.

Anyone on here want to own up to having had their lugs stretched?

Cheers,

FT.

When I was younger, small ones. Took them out for a job at a posh restaurant and they went back to normal.

got a friend with 22mm in each ear.

I'd suggest a 9mm right between them.

Agreed I think its a stupid idea. I can vision all these old people in companies with stretched out ear lobes.

The barber in my old town used to come in with prescriptions for antibiotics at least once a month because of this.

It looked rubbish too...

One should always carry at least one heavy duty padlock at all times, such opportunity is not be missed.

Jesus-titty-christ!

DO NOT do an image search for 'lugs stretched '.. the best Google could find (on my work PC) was a page filled with pictures of 'did you mean to search for legs stretched' ..

Proper name is Flesh Tunnels, although just looking at that written down might come up with some risky results.

ETA: few of my friends had them for a few years and they do indeed go back to normal when taken out. The larger you go the longer it takes though.

However the ones that people put on their lips...now that's just bloody ridiculous.

Oh to be a qualified Plastic Surgeon, lots of work to be had in the future correcting all these kids faces.

It's a great look

Good idea! I know someone with them and it would be too bloody tempting.

However he would probably think it looked cool and leave it there...

Dear god, I did a search as wasn't sure what you were talking about and found this:

It's hardly youth culture, people have been doing it for years granddad.

Let's all be boring and look the same. Personally, while I'm plain (no tats / piercing etc) I like people that take the time to look different. Crazy looking people make the day more interesting.

Is that a coconut in his ear?

[Reload]

If you fancy a squirm, a guy I used to know was on with stretching his Prince Albert piercing.

[Miguel Alvarez]

I'm a grown man and I'd be scared to go home to see my mum with one of those things in my ear. Till this day I get

''Son pull your pants up!! Are they new trainers?!? How many do you need?!?! HOW much did that watch cost?!?! Oh Lord Jesus what is wrong with this child?!?!?''

One of these would probably give the old woman a heart attack.

Destined for a high-flying career, no doubt.
Or we're all paying his dole.

You decide.

I'm all for lifestyle choices etc and agree with the poster who said it'd be boring if we were all the same/conformed - but that's just plain stupid.

The only job he'd ever get would be desktop support, since only the metallers that do it normally look anything nearly as daft.
