For everyone with small goal sizes, good luck staying at that size :p. my original goal size was 0g. Once you begin stretching, it is very tempting to continue to stretch. I would be satisfied with my size for a few months or so, then they would begin to look small, making me want to stretch to the next size. Next thing I know, i'm at an inch haha did anyone else have this happen to them?

It's been happening to me. I know I can't have HUGE lobes because of the career I want, but I've still gone beyond my original goal. When I first had my ears pierced with the intention of stretching I said "no bigger than 4G or 2G." Then I said 2G or 0G. I got to 2G and it looked huge at first, then it started looking tiny. I decided I'd go to 0G, but absolutely no bigger. I'm at 0G now (as of about four months ago), I've bought tons of nice jewelry, but now I'm thinking just one more size!

If I didn't have jobs and stuff holding me back I'd go to 1/2" or 5/8". Maybe if society becomes more liberal when it comes to body mods I'll stretch bigger. Of course I'll probably be middle-aged/old by then but oh well.

Now is the perfect time for me to enjoy my stretched ears while I still can. I'm a student currently, and when my career opportunity arrives, I plan on closing them as much naturally as possible and consider maybe getting a closing proedure if necessary. But for now, no regrets! :p

well i live in Jacksonville, FL. and its younger population is pretty liberal but the administration of the school board is still comprised of old, white men. but there was a teacher here (who actually moved up to assistant principal at another school) with pretty "big" lobes (i eyeball'd it at 5/8ths, maybe). he was young and pretty cool, so i guess it depends where you apply at.

[corazon_de_oro]

Wow, I can't believe there was a male teacher with stretched lobes! It seems like women have an easier time getting away with them because of our hair, and some jewelry looks like normal earrings at a glance. Most of the time male teachers can't even have their ears pierced at all!

[TheGreyEyedMonster]

nope, and hes covered wrist to ankles in tattoos. he wore long pants and business shirts everyday so you couldnt see them when he was teaching, but when he was coaching soccer and wearing a tshirt and gym shorts... DAMN

After browsing around, I saw some wood plugs I really loved. A few pairs of circular inlays (Ebony with olive wood in middle). The more I stretched and meddled with smaller sizes, the more and more I wanted to continue stretching. I kept visualizing them at a bigger size, 5/8s or so, and really liked how the right pair of plugs can really accentuate and complement a face. After mucking about with a poorly stretched 4g left lobe and no right lobe piercing, I decided to get pierced, invest in some steel tunnels and a proper stretching kit, and start on my journey. Hah.

I stretch to prove to myself and others that I have patience and look forward to each stretch as a reward for my patience. I also like the way my ears look stretched.

Keep it brutal
