Why do people pierce their ears with those piercing that stretch the skin?

I mean what is the point? What are they going to do 10,15,30yrs from now when it's not cool and out of fashion?

    I have stretched earlobes. More than ten years ago, when it was far from being "in fashion", countless people told me that I'd regret it. Well, a hell of a lot of time has passed and I love my ears more than I did when I started.

    As for you wanting to know what the "point" is, for myself it has been purely ornamental. Honestly, I would not look or feel like myself if I looked any way other than the way that I do.

    Your question has an antagonistic element to it, as in maybe you think poorly about people who choose to do this. Try to be less judgmental. There may be things about you that others would look at and question in a similar manner.

    its not about cool it is about self exspresion becuase in todays society it is hard to be an individigual and if they did the right reasons (for them selfs ) it would have been worth it in 30 years
