Thick Lobes.

[Metalcore]

Both my lobes are rather thick compared to some of my friends who also have their ears stretched. My question is how can I make mine thinner?(if possible) Its also hard to find plugs that will fit correctly, if the plugs are not wide enough my lobes will overflow.


Any tips?

I wouldn't encourage you to try to thin your lobes. Thick lobes are good. They allow for more bloodflow and are far less likely to break under the pressure of stretching. If you find that plugs with narrower wearable areas are too thin, look for some with wider wearables. My right ear is thicker (front to back) than my left and I need as much room as I can get. It's fine, though. I just estimate the wearable area based on my right ear.

i agree with ast.riske , you WANT THICK LOBES ! you are lucky to have them ...I see your frustration with plugs being to short but there are lots of places like body art forms .com that sale several different sizes or wearable areas .. just hold a ruler up to your lobe and see how thick it is and then you know just what size to order

Thanks for your help. I guess it is better to have thick ones. I know mine are extremely healthy. I didnt even know that you could buy plugs for thickness of your earlobe.
