I've never had strangers look at me weird or anything because usually my hair covers my ears so you can't see my tunnels, but I've had a couple of checkout girls with stretched ears or other body modifications kind of give me a long glance of mild interest and acknowledgement.
My parents freakin' hate them though, especially my biological parents who just found out today. My non-biological parents hated them at first, and still dislike them to this day, but respect my decision and gave me the expected rap that was along the lines of: "You have to take care of them and if they get infected, it's your fault because I told you to take them out."
People in my school are o.k., because a few other students have them done and one senior who just graduated had 1-3/4" ears or so that he'd wear tunnels in and they'd be in shock, awe, and disgust of him so my ears that were a puny and piddling 1/2" at the time didn't draw much attention next to his, or my friends' who had 00gs, 1/2"s and 5/8"s clearly visible.
I do have people I barely know come up to me and jab their fingers into my lobes when I wear Kaos Earskins without warning or permission. Which is annoying as hell, not to mention they jab roughly so it hurts me, and makes me worried about them potentially ripping my ear.
CURRENT:
Left lobe: 5/8". Right lobe: 9/16"
Goal size: 3/4" (both ears)
RETIRED:
16g Snakebites(x2)
14g Septum.
SOON:
Snakebites again.
