My lobes for my Tatoos?

[Nic]

My parents just got back from vacation and my dad said if i take out my piercings and close my lobes he will pay for a back piece onto my upper left arm. The way i see it is i get free tatoos. Stretching my lobes again will be ez as pie and il do a better job. Another upside is that i will have an ezier time finding a job so i can move out an get more piercings. What do u guys think? is this a gud idea?

Sounds like a good idea, I would be stoked if someone was going to pay for my whole tattoo. Your lobes are at 1" right? So you will probably be able to wear some smaller plugs since your lobes might not exactly heal all the way up.

The price to pay to get your lobes closed chirurgicaly will probably cost higher than a tattoo.

he would pay for everything tho lol an honestly i love my ears but i fucked my left one up so bad. That blowout came back an got bigger. I would love the chance to start over an correct my old mistakes. If not tho i would also be happy with my ears the way they are =D. Im havin trouble finding plugs bigger then an inch tho =/

I was talking to this girl i met the other day an she says that lobes that are surgicaly closed then restretched look horrible. is this true?

[magalo le matelot]

Lobes surgically closed are always ugly anyway... very small (almost no lobes) and full of scars. So they'll probably look horrible when restretched too. Be sure you won't have the same lobes as today.

My step-dad said he'd pay for a big chunk of my very big tattoo if I didn't get my cheeks pierced.
He backed out later. I got my cheeks pierced anyway

Surgically closed lobes don't tend to look quite the same. But for me anyway, they really wouldn't be THAT far off (and I had no lobes to begin with). But I don't think they look bad. Most of the scarred 'healed' photos are usually taken just after the stitches are out, when the scars haven't softened properly.
Although I might of seen loads of restretched photos, most people don't label them as so. The one I do remember looked fine though, not te same as before.. but not at all bad

You don't NEED a tattoo now do you?
You can always save money in the future for tattoos.. That money REALLY wouldn't be worth my time, effort and pain surgery to just restretch later down the line (plus all the jewellery I've lost/sold/given away). Unless I really wanted to, which I don't.
But thats up to you.

Eh.. i wouldn't do it myself.

Your lobes won't close up, but maybe you could just take your plugs out. Leave them out for a while, do lots of oil massages, and they'll probably start looking much better.
