Yeah that's the cheap way to get gauged ears. You gotta do it right or you fuck your shit up.

I still stand by however that you sound retarded when used in that context.

I always find myself laughing when someone asks me "what size are your guages?"
Especially when I respond, "2 1/4 inches" and they ask again, "uhhh...what gauge is that?" :lol:

Damn 2 1/4, major props on reaching that! I feel weak, mines only 1 3/16, going to be 1 1/4 soon hopefully though. Slower the better though.

This website tells you what size you have.

00 gauge actually means 3/8

I cringe when I hear people use the term 'gauging'. I'm not that much of an asshole to correct them, but that's beside the point of this thread.

My ears have been over an inch since I was 15, so I feel your pain in the job search. A lot of jobs I took my plugs out and that was that, but the past 2 jobs I've been lucky and was allowed to keep them in. I'm the hardest working person you'll ever meet, and just because I have tattoos and stretched lobes doesn't mean Im a low life scum bag like a lot of people think about with people who have mods.

Thanks, but don't feel bad; I've taken mine out for the past year, yours are larger than mine now :tongue:
But yeah, stretching is not something to rush, I've seen too many horrifying mistakes from people trying to be competitive and "gauge"(:lol:) as quickly as possible.
Kids come into the shop sometimes thinking they are special because their lobes are now bigger than mine, then I stick my ring finger through my nose to reveal my 7/8" septum. Booya! :lol:

Yeah I can't count the times how many kids asked me how long it took to get this big. I tell them 5 years, they flip out then say. Dude it only took me 3 months to get to an inch and half. I look and they're lobes are all sorts of fucked up, blew out, and nasty! Hell I even had one kid come in with necrosis in his lobes. That was gross. 7/8 septum, damn a good friend of mine as 9/16 I thought that was big. You've got him beat, hell mines only a 2ga! I'm wondering if you're by chance on BME at all?

Nice if you still make them, I'm always in the market for some nice custom stuff.
