Ear Gauges.......?!?!?

Well, I'm not sure if they're called gauges, but it's where your piercing is stretched out, and you wear this circle thingie, and you can see straight through...

Like these. I was wondering if your ears ever go back to the same size they were... Thanks :)

I'm thinking of getting some, but I don't want to damage my ears too badly.

    Yeah, they will go back to the "same" size, but only to a certain point. Usually if you go over 6 (the smaller the number, the bigger the hole), your ears won't go back to normal. Some people have gone up to 00 and gone back to "normal" but it depends on the person, and their skin.

    When you get your ears pierced, the earrings are usually 16g.

    And when you take them out, your ears will look torn. That might not clear up depending on how far you stretch to. There's the option of surgery to fix it though. Torn ear lobes.

    Idk. Think about it.

    You can cross to approximately a 6 gauge and it must be equipped to scale down down once more whilst you make a decision to take them out. My moms and dads hate the suggestion too, thats why I put on my hair in order that it hides my ears lol. Get each performed, one appears bizarre, and do not fear if a few men and women believe it appears dumb, considering the fact that there are tons of men and women that like gauged ears in the market. And yeah it seems like a well suggestion to get it pierced with a eight gauge needle, then simply stretch to a 6 gauge intent stretching sucks and it hurts lol, I stretched from a 20 gauge to eight gauge, Im going the entire means all the way down to zero gauge. I might be at 4 g correct now considering the fact that I have four g pinchers, however im lacking my 6 gauge pinchers and I particularly do not wish to bypass a gauge measurement :( Good success :)

    They will always shrink some if you have stretched them, but if you go more than a few sizes up, they may not shrink all the way back down to normal size. All bodies are different, though so there are no guarantees.

    Source(s): I have piercings.
