(When the earlobe is stretched so instead of earrings they wear plugs, tapers, pinchers, spirals, or tunnels)
Say whether you hate them or not, or which you think looks best with stretched/guaged ears (i mean of the list above of what they wear instead of normal earings)
Personally i like stretched ears, but only when they're not TOO big (the biggest size im comfortable with is 0g if it's bigger it'll creep me out) and when people wear pinchers and tunnels, and stretch TWO holes instead of one (the one on top is smaller than a 4g and the one on bottom is about a 0g)
Note: when i say a number with a "g" at the end those are the sizes of the jewlery put in stretched ears. The smaller the number, the BIGGER it is.

For some reason it won't let me add more than 3 options to the poll, the 4th was "only when they're small"

Voted 'no', in the sense that I do not like stretched ears, but neither do I dislike them.

I feel that ears should be left in their original form. I don't care for stretched out ears or other strange piercings.

i like them, for the most part.

my kid (17 years old) has stretched ears, but not huge as she wants to be professional someday and doesn't want to have surgery to shrink them. EDIT: wow my sentence was garbled o.0

I don't like them. I don't understand why someone would want to stretch their ears so widely.

I do like pierced ears though, and I have my earlobes pierced. I have a large collection of earrings probably numbering in the hundreds.

Never got why people punch holes into themselves for fashion. I'd much rather...I don't know, dye my hair forest green if I wanted to stand out in a crowd. Ear piercings look painful...

I have nothing against people who do it, but IMO it just looks utterly stupid, and of course they'll be forever unemployed

I'm surprised by the comments on employment. If someone were to otherwise dress professionally would the stretched ears really make a difference?

Walk into an office of a high profile business and find one person with stretched ears. Go on.
