If you’re going to called jewellery for stretched ears, ‘gauges’, then using that logic (It’s measured in a gauge, therefore it’s named a gauge), you must also call shoes ‘sizes’, drinks must be called ‘litres’, clothes must also be called ‘sizes’. Fruit sold by the pound, becomes known as ‘pound/s’. You can no longer buy sugar, you have to call it ‘kilograms’
Also, the gauge system only goes to 00g, so after that, and up until 1”, they must be called ‘fraction-of-inches. After that, they become known as ‘SICK INCHES’. Small jewellery is also measured by the gauge system (as well as in mm) so, anyone with a piercing has SICK GAUGES.
Surely this explains as to why we don’t refer to plugs, tunnels, eyelets, earskins, the stretched lobe themselves, as gauges.
You don’t have speedometers in your ears.
Holy fucking tits my ears are on fire!!!
I swear gauging my ears hurts more than getting any other piercing!!!
Walking fucking makes them hurt, like wtf, WALKING!!!
Protip: You’re doing it wrong.
Stretching should never hurt, stretch 1mm per every 6 weeks. Use autoclavable jewellery, and don’t force it. Remove your jewellery and try again in 3 months.
FUCKING PUSSIES
I’m annoyed with how many people i’ve fucking seen today post “OHHEMMMGGG. 2 TO A 0 WORST PAIN EVERRRRR.” shut the fuck up. I HAD TO GO FROM A 2 TO A 00 AND SHIT BARELY HURT. MOTHER FUCKING PUSS ASS PUSSIES. annoyed as fuck -.-

What’s Awful: Skipping sizes and pain.
YOU DO NOT SKIP SIZES AND BRAG ABOUT IT LEST YE BE PROCLAIMED AN IDIOT.
And you didn’t HAVE to. You were just too impatient. Difference.
#stretched #ears #hole #bodymodification (Taken with instagram)
An example of a lobe with more than natural wrinkling. The wrinkles are deep and the fistula is red and irritated. An unhealthy-looking lobe is often by rushed stretching, incorrect jewellery and poor material choice.
so my idiot drummer boy ricky, satan bless his soul, just ripped the fuck out of his ear, i told him not to stretch up all crazy and shit, but he didnt listen, so shit like this happens.
ENJOY!!!
Juuuust bringing this back.

Gauges.
That moment when you can hear your ear lobe ripping when pushing your gauge further in. D:
It actually made my ears hurt reading this. IF IT HURTS, STOP! THAT’S YOUR BODY SAYING NO! Believe it or not, it’s totally painless if you stretch properly.
