Ear gauges
    #13228795 - 09/21/10 08:15 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Who has em? Do you like them? Did you go too big? Any problems?

How long would it take to gauge to one inch?

I've had gauges for about 4 years now and I love them. I would never go to an inch though shit is nasty and played out. I'm at a 1/2 inch right now. Inch would probably take you around a year or more. You really have to go slow or else you end up fucking your ears up.

I started stretching my ears a while ago but I'm just more into facial piercings so I took them out. I don't remember what I got to but I was going down a size or two every week, probably should have done it slower but turned out alright.

An inch would take you just under a year if you're lucky with no blowouts or anything. Just make sure to take it slow once you get down to 0's.

I have a friend who gauged one of his ears to quickly and it tore his ear lobe in half so he has these two dangling things instead of an ear lobe, he cut his other ear lobe in half to match it. 

In my honest opinion I see no aesthetic attraction to gauged ears but really style is ones own choice. It's kind of just something else to pull on when your in a fight with someone.

Got to a 4; was originally aiming for a 0 and then decided against it. They shrank back to normal holes.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it "fucked up" either just not my style, I don't like body modification but if you dig it, then go for it.

They aren't "fucked". And I said nothing about gauging them too big, don't put words in my mouth. I was just noting the irony that if someone stuck a hole in your eyeball it would be fucked up, but to stick a hole in your ear is aesthetically pleasing. That's all. Quite simple.

i started gauging my ears when i was 16 or so .. i also finished gauging my ears at 16 or so. i probably did it faster than i should have, but i only went up to a 0ga and i refuse to go bigger than that; it took me 3 weeks to go from a regular 18 to a 0.

i have left them out before and they will still close up if i want them to, which i most likely will as i get older. this is the reason i did not go gauge past a 0.

it is fun to freak out my friends by sticking half my pinkie through the hole and wiggling it about though. none of them are into the whole piercing thing, let alone gauging, so it's always good fun.

This is amusing, so I'll continue to clarify.

When I said "because having a 1-inch hole in them isn't fucked up", it was a facetious reference to the contrary, where an exception is made based upon a culturally accepted aesthetic. The sentence is truly playing with semantic qualifiers and the elasticity of what is fashionable.




Honest to God, if I wanted to offend you, I would do better than this.

Furthermore, I would not be trying to retract my comment. Why do I give a shit if I offend you? Really?

Why you are so hell bent on continuing this is beyond me.

Signing in here,

Had 15mm at one point (for around 9 months), took them out, closed up completely.

6 years later I still have this constant cyst/scab/ball of random, the size of a tic tac in my earlobe :shrug: It looks like a red dot from the outside, on the inside it feels terrible and I wish it would FOAD.

So yeah, I regret it :shrug: It is fun to pick at though, when you bust it pus flows out :shrug:

Every new person I meet (or employer) thinks it's some type of ear-ring hole, it's noticeable.

I've had 9/16ths of inch completely close. I don't think much bigger would end up returning to its normal size though.

Mine are 100% closed, they just have a little dot there.

3-4 times a year something grows inside like an infection and it swells up like fuck, scabs up and fills with pus.

It's pretty raid, can't do anything about it, I feel it's going to stick around for life.

AHHAHAhaHHAHAHAHHAHhahah!

I Like the idea of very small guages, sub 1/2" with ear-rings hung through them (my gf does this hers are probably like 3/8) but as for 1/2" and up? Fuck, please do. More people that do equals more people in the world with a free win-this-fight pull cord. I will tear your big dumb stretched lobe off and then nuke your dome with my knee when you hunch over in agonizing pain. If you try to fight me.

In a decade or so they'll get to where they don't close up any more. Just warning you, ask a doctor he'll be able to explain better. I never really understood why.

You can always pay mega $$$ for surgery, they will never be perfect again but you can fix them up a fair bit.

I found in the end it wasn't worth it, I still liked a few options open in normal society, big gauges fuck that up.

Those ears will close up. Please don't speak about things you don't know about.

And as for the guy who mentioned the fighting. Pretty sure I'd take them out before a fight, but then again why would I be in a fight? People always act like a fight is just around the corner when they mention piercings :facepalm:

So many people are against piercings because "they would just get ripped out in a fight". Like seriously, are those people just getting into fights all the time? To me, that isn't even an issue..

good call. my friend had to take his gauges out for his job, they said it would freak customers out about infections or something because he works at a deli counter.. they were over 1" and the hole wasn't about to close anytime soon, if ever. so he took a blade to his former ear lobes, which at that point, were thin dangling loops of skin.  now instead of ear lobes, the bottoms of his ears are just straight horizontal lines. its fucked up.

I'm not a fan of the massive gauges. Complete turn off for me.

Mine do this too!!!

My earlobe turned into a fucking throbbing balloon until the doctor puts a hole in it. The first time it happened, the nurse looked at it, closed the door, then told the doctor, "that's the strangest thing I've ever seen."

I never had my ears pierced, either.

Because having a 1-inch hole in them isn't fucked up.




I have a friend who gauged one of his ears to quickly and it tore his ear lobe in half so he has these two dangling things instead of an ear lobe, he cut his other ear lobe in half to match it. 

In my honest opinion I see no aesthetic attraction to gauged ears but really style is ones own choice. It's kind of just something else to pull on when your in a fight with someone.



AHHAHAhaHHAHAHAHHAHhahah!

I Like the idea of very small guages, sub 1/2" with ear-rings hung through them (my gf does this hers are probably like 3/8) but as for 1/2" and up? Fuck, please do. More people that do equals more people in the world with a free win-this-fight pull cord. I will tear your big dumb stretched lobe off and then nuke your dome with my knee when you hunch over in agonizing pain. If you try to fight me.




so your a pussy? thats like kicking someone in the nuts if i fight you i wont only kick you in your groin but stomp.  and twist.

i have 1/2 inch guages but i dont plan on going any bigger. imo people who go larger than 3/4 end up looking silly for the most part, but to each his own. i'm sure a lot of people think i look silly.

I remember this thread, and was wondering deadhearts, did you even start or anything?

Im currently at a 00g, almost 7/16". I might downsize though as one of my lobes was pierced a little low and thinning out more than i want. Definitely going to go bigger after downsizing.

i used to wear 3/4" gauges. i had 3 blowouts along the way, and one ear completely torn in half. it took me about 3 years or so to go that big, many problems along the way though. i got the two ear flaps pierced seperately so it's all good. my other ear is still at about a half inch or more and it's been 2 years since i've worn anything in it.

in my opinion gauges in your ears are kind of pointless, although fun. but that could be said about any piercing i guess.

and indeed, they do stink, badly.

also speaking of gauges, anyone ever gauge their TONGUE? mine was at a 00g, but i went back down to a 0g. i can still fit it in there. i used to be able to fit pens, pencils, cigarettes, silverware through my tongue. good times.

I'm currently at a 00g, and I think at most I'm gonna go up one more size. Some people like it, some dont. But I could really care less about their opinion if they like it or not. Body modification is a personal preference. It's your body, you do what you want with it.

But to the guy who said he'd rip out an earlobe in a fight, if this ever happened to me, I dont think the ripped ear would even phase me. Only after I caved in your trachea would I realize what happened.

Mine are at half inch. I did it over a two year period cuz I would leave them at one size for a few months before I would decide to stretch them just one size bigger. Then one more size. And another. I love them right now but I'll probably have to take them out soon so I can find a real job. Gonna be a sad day.

I went to get my plugs done on my eighteenth birthday to celebrate almost a full year of sustaining myself and living on my own. It symbolized what I considered my transition into adult-hood by making my own decisions and acquainting myself with survival.
I started off the journey at a 4 gauge and slowly went up in sizes over time. Except for the first piercing on my birthday, I stretched all the sizes myself. The highest gauge I altered into is 00 and is what I'm currently at but I have cycled back and forth in sizes over time.

Thats because some idiot pierced you and fucked you up. Ripped or forced.

You need to wash your ears as often as you wash your asshole. If you don't of course it smells bad. My piercings NEVER smell because I wash them daily with soap and water.

7/16" here, no plans to go larger.  It took me about six months or so to get here, stretching one size every month, except for the ~6months I spent at 00ga before I went to 7/16"  I would go up one more size but they don't make the Ear Skins in the next size up; I'd have to go up two sizes to be able to wear those again and that's getting too big IMO.

I have 18mm in each ear lobe.

They did smell like roten cheese.
But only when i wore jewelry in titanium or cirugical steal.
If you use acrylic,or any other material it doesnt smell...:shrug:

Atleast mine dont.
Theres a cream here for babies rash,that ppl with big gauges use.
We put it once a day in the lobe and it doesnt smell the whole day,even if your wearing steal.
Its called Bépanthene Plus.

Yea I only know of two other people that have plugs, and another that pretty much copied the fact that I had them (but that's his problem) oh and I also love the smell of my own ear cheese :awesome:

But here's a little fun fact: piercers, and body mod enthusiasts usually get pissed when people call them "gauges" and say they should only be called "plugs" I'm not entirely sure why, and personally I dont care what you call them, but the girl who pierced my eyebrow through a fit when another dude called them gauges :shrug:

Try washing your lobes when you bathe.  Stretched lobes only start to smell funny if they aren't cleaned regularly.

No I'm pretty sure a sleeve is a style of tattoo. Plenty of people design entire sleeves that are thematic. It's not just what happens when you eventually accumulate enough to fill your arm, though im sure some people do that

And lol @ all these people saying "Yeah my gauges stink like shit!"

That is disgusting. Mine almost never do because, like Kada said, I wash them daily.

sleeves are not a style of tattoo. it's just what happens when you have a lot of tattoos in a little space.




You stand correct my friend!

Ok,let me clarify some facts here.Im not smarter than anyone,but i happen to work in the tattoo/piercing world its gonna be 11 years now.

First GAUGE is a measure unit,just like centimeters.

PLUGS its a kind of jewelry,for bigger gauges; just like Flesh Tunnels.Except tunnels(like the name sais)have a hole in the middle.

Sleeves is what you call when you have a whole tattooed arm: sleeve. When you have a shoulder to elbow tattoo its called obviously half-sleeve.IT IS NOT a tattoo style.Its a name you give to a whole piece.Just like you call a heavily tattooed back a Back-piece.

About washing  it everyday(your stretched lobes)  the more you wash it,the more humid they get and the more stink they produce.
The bacteria grows inside naturaly; perfect cosy warm,humid envyronment.(So the more u wash it it,the more humid i'll get,the more you produce bacteria...therefore the more you'll have to wash it...its a never ending cycle)

I personally,along with most of the piercers here,like the technique of taking our jewelry out, clean it good with proper piercing wipes and apply the cream(the one i mention on my previous post),or just any vaseline based cream.
No humidity,no bacteria,and the cream has something permeability that keeps you from stink longer.

With acrylic and silicone jewelry the stink is not so strong tho.Sometimes theres no stink at all...
Why?
Because its not metal(titanium or steal),these have nickel.
Nickel is one of the reasons our lobes stink.
Every human is allergic to Nickel.Every metal has it,but titanium and steal have it much less,so you can have a perfect stretch without problems.(but you'll always have the stink to get rid of)
Thats why sometimes even "normal" piercings can stink! No matter if in your lobes,nose or lip; steal = some Nickel on it.  :shrug:

Thats why its so important to know exactly what kinda jewelry you're buying.The better steal or titanium,the less nickel,the less infection possibilities and the less stink.

I hope i answered some questions,and happy to hear some tricks that you ppl use for stretching and taking care of the "cheese" :wink:

I always stretch mine miself(being a bodypierecer i have everything i need)

:cheers: Ans happy New Year everyone!

That would be 7/16" only one size below 1/2.
Very nice size IMO :shrug:
my 00 closed up to about an 8g. im sure they would close up a little more if i took the time. im actually planning on just staying at 1/2"

That's not true at all.  The smell comes from your skin shedding cells and those cells building up in between your lobe and the jewelry.  The dead skin cells are a breeding ground for bacteria and that's the smell you get.  IME, creams, lotions, etc. also leave residues behind that increase the odor.  A tiny tiny tiny bit of unscented/unmedicated Lubriderm on each lobe after I shower is all I do and I haven't had odor, ever.  Hard, inorganic materials, such as stainless steel and acrylic, tend to increase ear cheese and therefore odor which is why I never wear them.  Kaos Softwear all the way!

Well everyone has a different method.
U use that cream u said,i use Bepanthéne after the shower.And it works for me. :shrug:  Also much less smell since i left the steal.
  And everyone here (where i am at) is changing for non steal jewelry for years now,cuz we notice the smell decreases...But you say the opposite.I dono,its like arguing wich colour is the best....No point on doing it.
Anyway,as long as it works out for everyone,and we're happy with our stretches,

"nothing else mattress"!
:lol:



This is the one we use on our stretches:







Also putting a layer of Teflon tape on your tunnels/plugs avoids that your skin is in direct contact with the steal(Nickel), and decreases the smell

Happy New Year! :cheers:

I've never had a problem with steel causing smell; but acrylic and teflon both cause a smell.

IME, pretty much any hard, inorganic material like acrylic or stainless is going to cause more ear cheese and odor.  I stick with silicone, it's better in every way.  From what I hear, organics are the best, like those wood and stone ones.  Doesn't mean you shouldn't wash your lobes every shower and sleep without jewelry.

when i was with 10mm in both ears,some friends brought me from Indonesia some beautiful wood plugs.
Little did i know the trouble it would get me into.

After a week i had a big rash expanding from my right ear into my neck.Didnt know why.
Never thought it would be the plugs,cuz the left one didnt give me any problem...:shrug:

Talked to my boss and showed him and imediatly he said it was the plug,for me to take them out.(By this time i could barely sleep and it hurt beside itching)
He told me the same thing had hapened to his wife with some wooden plugs too.

Had to put an 8mm on the right ear,cuz as soon as i took the new one out my ear was like blown and bigger.
I got ok after a while,but since than this right side is always harder to stretch...

PS-Def agree that the best material i've ever tried is silicone.In every way
:thumbup:

I was always told in high school i should get plugs because my ears are kinda big.

..but then i would have had even bigger ears.:cuckoo:

I'm so glad i wasn't a fucking sheep in high school.

silicone is only good for healed ears, not fresh stretches.
It always irritates my right ear for some reason though if i keep em in for too long, otherwise very comfortable.
