Ear gauges

i like the small ones,

I've been thinking of getting some lime green spikes for a few weeks now... a bunch of people said I should just pierce 'em and go from there.
 
You get a normal peircing, gauge 22, then you purchase tapers, to slowly stretch them out. You can purchase taper sets and directionswww.bodyartforms.commy fav site mad legit
 
they look kinda good if theyre like smaller than a bottlecap then yeah, ive seen ears when they arent in an they dangle gross low
 
I love the way they look, nice wood ones or like turquoise/jade ones, but everyone has reasons. Why do tall-tees appeal to skiiers, when regular sized clothing works way better?
 
I have super small ears, so they make my ears look normal size thus battling self conciousness yay!
 
i had 22mm ones

looked pretty sick, closed them down though, ones at like 3mm and the others stuck at like 8mm, dunno if its ever gonna close
 
If you want a formulaic explanation for an aesthetic choice, you are going to be disappointed. For me, it isn't any different than somebody asking why I wore a red shirt today.

Ex: my ears are stretched because I felt like it. I don't need to justify my body to anyone. That probably makes me come across as an asshole, but tattoos and piercings to me are something I do just because I've wanted to for a couple years.
 
Yeah I'm not being critical I'm strictly just wondering what it is that makes people like them. For me I just find it strange to put a hole in a part of your body and stretch it out for no particular reason, but if you like it then sure go ahead.
 
I'm sure there's people who have a thought-out explanation for it, but I can't really think of a good reason my ears have 0g holes in them, I just like them. Kind of like how little kids like Apple Jacks, they just do.
 
i had a girlfriend with gauges once. You have to clean them cause they get gross and stinky after like 12 hours
 
nope dont do it, they look stupid 95% of the time. Ive even seen a girl's holes break and then her ear had two little flaps dangling at the bottom, it looked disgusting
 
did that after i ripped my ear with the taper actually haha went so much smoother but still not as fast as i wanted it to be.
 
You just really can't stretch too fast. Healing in between is important and if you try to push your ear too far you're prone to blowouts and that will fuck up your ears
 
what are tapers exactly? What do they look like? Also, how long do you guys think it'll take to stretch to about 4g?
