I have tried acrylic, titanium, stainless steel on my ears, but my ear lobes still seem to have a bad reaction to it. Hell I can't even wear regular earrings. So does anybody know of some organic or hypo-allergenic gauges?

Yes, try glass. Or maybe organics like stone, bone or wood perhaps. Being inert they might be ok in sensitive ears.

Are you sure you're not allergic to the o-rings? Or maybe your ears are just irritated in general. What's your stretching history like (how fast did you stretch, what size are you at, etc)? I'm asking because it's extremely rare to be allergic to titanium.

I agree with the others though, glass is usually the best material for those with super sensitive ears.
