They were stretched to the equivalent of a 0 to 00 gauge. Otzi also had numerous tattoos that were located in acupuncture pressure points.
Before Buddha chose the path of minimalistic living, he wore heavy jewelry such as precious stones and solid gold in his earlobe piercings. Because of this, his ear lobes were permanently stretched. When Guatama Buddha decided to give up his wealth and possessions, he also removed his jewelry which gives us the vision of how we see Buddha today — with long earlobes. The Fulani tribe is from Nigeria and Central Africa.
The tribe holds beauty in high regard and see beauty in their piercings and tattoos. When Fulani girls are three years old, they will have their ears pierced.
They will not stretch them as large as the Masai and Mursi tribes, but large enough so that they can wear large intricate gold hoops.
The Mursi is a tribe found in Ethiopia. When the women are fifteen or about to be married, the mother will pierce her ears and lip and insert a wooden peg.
This means that the girl has now entered into womenhood. And your ruining your ears, I don't get why any one would want them. Its a phase that lasts forever, and you will regret getting them, unless you plan on being in a band then I wouldn't expect to get a good paying with those things in your ears. You are judged and looked at as maybe trashy and unprofessional. Sorry to be harsh but its not a good choice. Is this still revelant? I like them, and have mine stretched to 00g. I started when I was about 16, but have been at this size for like 3 years now.
I don't plan on going any bigger, because while I love them, I'm bordering the 'point of no return', and if I go any bigger they may not go back to normal if I ever decide to take them out. I find them attractive on others as well, and the guy I'm seeing also has his ears stretched.
It just looks unnatural. Xper 7. Some people really like them, most people hate them. If you're stretching your ears then you really shouldn't care about what the majority of people thing about you because the majority of people don't like them.
Secondly, you're stretching too fast. I love it! The alternative just staggers the imagination. Take your kid to a piercer to get their ears pierced…much more hygenic and heals faster. Ever notice the stench from your wrist when you take off your watch? Take a sniff! My ears are at a 4 gauge, which is relatively small. I wear nice plugs, and they pretty much look like studs. Thank you all for your answers.
Those of you who provided actual information as to why this may be attractive were most helpful. I do understand to an extent that in certain positions it may not be appropriate to an extreme but in the majority of the cases it really seems kinda pointless.
It is a constant reminder of how judgmental other people are. It does seem girly. I think that when they are gauged it adds a sort of more extreme, possibly less girly, aspect to the concept. All in the eye of the beholder. My glass plugs have never even vaguely smelled. Porous materials are more likely to smell.
Interestingly enough, my husband, who is of Asian descent, has the elongate earlobes of Buddha naturally. It is just his genetics, so I always assumed that Buddha had similar genes.
Any decoration you make of your body is self-expression. With that said, I find I prefer humans without a lot of alteration to their natural appearance. I find the variety fascinating as it is. Thus if someone can explain the attraction in terms I understand I may become wiser.
A sign of the times; something different. My daughter got her ears pierced when she was 5. Her other facial piercings when she was Her first tattoo at age It all depends on the kid and why they want to get it.
I see no problem with it. She now has blue hair, btw. Also, if you keep them below a size 00 and stretch really slowly, they go back to their regular size once you take them out. Honestly, the guys that I know who do the larger guaging are attention mongering and they use it as a converstation piece. I think it gives bashful guys something to talk about and, gives guys who are not particually secure about their appearance something to distract from features that they are not comfortable with?
We have no control over what physical characteristic we are born with or, over what society in general finds appealing. But, we are in control of how we repel or, attract others. It was a reward for my daughter — mother-daughter ear piercing. My cartilage one, though…. Quite a bit. I got needle pierced, not gun pierced. Guns freak the heck out of me.
They are rubbed with antiseptic, but they cannot be autoclaved. Nothing that went in other people is going in me without going through an autoclave first. Maybe twice. The gun also does a great deal of damage to the tissue because it takes something solid and crams it through another thing. In the case of a needle piercing, the needle is actually hollow and super duper sharp, so it takes a bit of the skin with it. I know it sounds gross, but its SO much better.
At this point i couldnt even imagine waking up in the morning and not seeing my ears all big. I couldnt imagine her without hers either. They are what make us who we are. I dont do it to make myself feel different or special.
I like the way that i look with them and i do it for that reason. I grew up liking body modifications and am now a piercer. I think that you can grow to like gauges but that dosent mean that you will ever be truly ok with them. The way that a person was raised and which enviornment plays a huge role in the like or dislike of gauges. I have always liked them and truthfully dont care what other people think of me.
I didnt mean just or gauges i ment all of our piercings and the culture that we like and submerse our selves in. We are what we make our selves out to be. Thats very true. If someone was to ask me to tell them about myself i would first tell them about my past and then how my piercings and tattoos saved me. They are some what of a vise that make me feel more of myself. In fact, I like a fair number of piercings.
I think that they are. They are different for every person. For you they are an act of beautification and for me i feel more like my self. I think that i am a good looking guy with and with out them. I feel weird not having them. Everyone can have different vices. A vice for you wont be anything for me. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a defect, an infirmity or merely a bad habit.
Synonyms for vice include fault, depravity, sin, iniquity, wickedness and corruption. Vice is the opposite of virtue. Vice is also a generic legal term for criminal offenses involving prostitution, lewdness, lasciviousness and obscenity. Illegal forms of gambling are also often included as a vice in law enforcement departments that deal with gambling as a crime.
It was a really bad use of words I guess what i ment to say was that piercings are what keep me going. They are socially taboo and they might not be the best thing for me but i can hold on to them and no one can take that part of me away. In any event, I understand piercings. I think a fair number of piercings are attractive.
