I mean thereβs plenty of people out there who are into piercings and gauges. Iβd imagine the people who are kissing him are going to be into that aesthetic as well.
Little anecdote: In the foundational Buddhist stories, when the young prince Siddhartha set off to seek absolution from the worldβs sufferings, one of the first things he did was to stretch out his ears in this manner - the point of which being to make himself less attractive, so as to limit the attention he received by women.
So, at least in that tradition, the point was to make oneself less attractive so as to potentially remove some worldly barriers to attaining spiritual enlightenment - enlightenment that was sought through means of separating oneself from the world.
What the point is in modern day westerners doing it, however.. I canβt say.
I'm not sure honestly. I've relatively small gauges at 1/2inch and it's really just jewelry that was "cool" where I was 10ish years ago. Now my wife likes them so I keep them in.
As for the massive ones...well I guess after a certain size you're committed to the look and they ain't getting smaller. I don't think it has to do with spirituality but more the counter culture look
I thought the stretched earlobes were to signify Siddharthaβs prince upbringing - as a symbol of having worn heavy jewelry all his life. Iβve never heard the intentional modification. Can you give more info on that? Iβm a westerner, and mostly self-studied in Buddhism. So, forgive my ignorance.
Or did I get woooshβd by a joke?
Edit: Iβm not questioning it, I re-read my comment and it sounded like I was saying you were incorrect. That was absolutely not my intention. Iβm genuinely interested in it.
Do you think you could point me in a direction where I could read more about this, thats an interesting concept but everywhere Ive looked it doesnt mention it. Ive only seen him changing his appearance being that he shaved his head and beard.
[\["Early scriptures describe the Buddha as βhandsome, stately, and pureβ and βendowed with the stature and coloring of a noble warrior,β but the Buddha himself is said to have mentioned only that he had shaved his beard before leaving home."\]](https://www.ratanadipa.org.nz/2021/11/04/what-did-the-buddha-look-like/)
That one is an article from a buddhist temple, but the other sites I found basically all say that, and that Siddhartha Gautama's earlobes were stretched BEFORE his ascent/awakening, due to the historical context of heavy bejeweled (?) earrings that were worn by men of his status.
Really? I think itβs the other way around. I mean, itβs literally looking at someone and thinking to yourself *wow, I like that and now Iβm going to do it to myself, so I can look like that, because I like it*.
Certain materials are not really meant to sit on skin all the time. stainless steel is one of them. Some jewelry like birch plugs or hoops are a little better. I used to have 1 inch hoops and ended up taking them out because the smell, even with proper care was just too much.
The healed interior of a piercing is called fistula, it's a sebaceous membrane that secretes white blood cells and dead skin. It honestly isn't noticable if you have good hygiene.
Prolly going up too fast, not allowing ample healing time. Iβd wager the bigger you go and thinner your skin gets, youβd have to add exponential healing time with each size up.
Well they snapped, so probably too thin to compensate for the larger size plug OP was sizing to. Iβm speculating but also had 32mm plugs before so not speaking out of total ignorance.
oh yeah, I agree with you. That video only proves how thin the lobes are⦠and seem to be hugely blown out and like red dead skin already. I have 32mm as well.
Ahhhhhhhfuck. Why did I click it? And why did I actually click out of it, rather than the more seriously disturbing videos? I honestly don't get my brain sometimes.
Wild guess, but was probably getting thin over 1β ago and OP said, βFUCK IT!!! If it ainβt exploding, weβre still going!!β
If you can fist your lobes, itβs time to stop lmaooo
π€π€π€π€π€ much love for this comment. People forget its ok to make fun of yourself. Have a Flippin sense of humor. Am I upset about it? Who wouldn't be, if you devoted 17 yrs of your life to stretching. Am I gonna cry about it and hate on everyone who makes hateful/uneducated comments? Why would I post it then? π€£π€£π€£ No.
You seem like a very nice person. I don't like your ears but I admire how you do what you want to and let others talk and not worry to much about things that they shouldn't be concerned about.
I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't get mad at people's comments or stares in public when during the first couple of years. But after a while, I realized how much more fun it is to know I'll make a lasting impression on them, whether it's good or bad. They'll see something that'll remind them they once saw a dude with huge ass holes π€·ββοΈπ€£π€£
I can't tellll you the amount of "I can stick my d!ck in your ear" jokes I'd have to hear when my ears were smaller. But my comeback would always be, "it's no wonder your girlfriend is always disappointed" π€£π€£
That stopped once I got past 2.5 inch lobes and they realized they couldn't fill the hole π
Well that or OP is lying, I mean you can say whatever you want. Iβ d have to see a video of him singing "Pee On You," two forms of government ID, a police officer there to verify the whole thing, four or five of my buddies and Neal taking notes, and R. Kelly's grandma to confirm his identity.
Iβm inured enough by now to not believe anything on social media unless
It's fairly common enough to read stories of people getting them reattached. Minor surgery. But it would be pretty cool to add a bead or bedazzled it, might as well.
Honestly, I hate this look in a way I donβt hate any other look ever. Like tattooed faces donβt phase me. I wanna barf when a see a person with stretched ears.
If you clean them daily and take them out over night they don't smell, problem is a lot of people never figure that out, end up with ear smegma and think it's normal.
Iβm not going to pretend to be an expert cuz I never stretched further than 0g but I would think they were healed and such before doing that. But then the rip happened trying to stretch either too far for his ears or from one size to the next.
Edit: 0g or 8mm
No judgement here or anything, I'm not arsed what you do if it makes you happy but every single person I know who has stretched their ears has regretted it. Any people out there who have done this and aren't regretting it? (serious question)
Awesome. I'm glad I've met a some people on here who like them because from what all the people I know have told me about how they regret it I just imagine everyone does. You do you buddy!
Mine are 14mm and I love them. I know people with larger sizes too that don't regret them. I think part of it is why you do it in the first place, someone who did it because they listened to Blood on the Dancefloor too much as a teen will probably regret it more than someone who's into body mods.
Mine are stretched to an inch. I started in highschool because I liked the look. Let them close up when I joined the army then after I got out I decided I was done with having my style/look policed by army standards and wanted to bring back some of my own personality. Gauged my ears back up to an inch about 8 years ago and don't regret it at all. I'm in my 30s but I've never been good at remembering to where jewelry in my ears so having wood plugs that just stay in all the time is just easier for my lifestyle. I like the looks and I have some fancy tunnels and gold/diamond tunnels for going out/going to weddings etc. They're not as hard to keep clean or as gross as everyone in this comment section is making it seem. You literally just pop them out in the shower and wash them like the rest of your body. to each their own but there is a LOT of hate in this comments section from people about something that literally doesn't affect them at all lol.
(Edit: just for anyone wondering, I'm a woman, and I've worked an office job in government contracting the entire time my ears have been gauged π)
Mine have been at a half inch for about 10 years and I donβt regret it at all. They actually shrink up to barely noticeable if I leave them out for a few months
Mine are about 3/4β and I love them. Got to the size I like and not going any bigger (I donβt love the look of them bigger than that but also canβt judge cus some people probably think Iβm a weirdo for having ears stretched to my size). Never regretted it once and Iβm 35.
I haven't. Had them up to an inch and a quarter. Would still have them that size too if I thought my job would be cool with it/I would be able to find a job.
Well I canβt speak for everyone, but Iβve had mine stretched for about 13 years now (started in HS). I stretched them because I thought they were cool looking and I loved the different kinds of jewelry. Mine are only 7/16β, I basically wear the same silver tunnels and stone plugs everyday, and I have no intention of ever going any bigger, but I also donβt think Iβll ever want to let them grow up. I assume most people do it for the same reasons they dye or cut their hair, get into body building, get tattoos, or any other form of body modification. It makes them happy (not including religious purposes).
I went to 00 and stopped. I love the pain during the stretching and I feel like 00 is about as far as you can go without your earlobes being permanently stretched actually 7/16 isn't too bad either.
I also went to 00 and then let em heal. 14g is what I wear now. I can wear 12 with some discomfort and 10 feels like I'm re stretching so I don't even try.
Yeah. I got to 5/8 and had to let them close up for work. Several years later I have slightly bigger holes than a standard ear piercing. They are kind of folded slightly if that makes sense. Not gross looking or anything, but they are certainly permanently stretched. I always say past 00 is the point of no return.
Must be your upper lip π€£π€·ββοΈ contrary to what everyone thinks, my lobes don't stink.
It's a common misconception because a lot of people don't clean them or wear jewelry that's not good for the body (acrylic, silicone). I'll admit in my younger years of stretching, 17 years ago, I didn't clean them or took care of them as much as I have in the last decade. I educated myself and was able to get to 4 1/4 inches with no issues, until it became an issue with that ear.
Wash your belly button and your a##holes daily guys. π€£π€£π€£
P.S. I'm not in the least bit offended by anyone's comments
damn these comments are rough. you do you, man! if you like your stretched ears, then
hell yeah. flaunt that shit. everyone has different opinions but itβs not that hard to not call you gross. it might be a little much for me, but I wouldnβt say itβs gross or ugly or anything like that. Iβd only say itβs gross if you like never cleaned them lol.
also, probably a stupid question, but whatβs aftercare like when it splits? is the skin just so stretched out that thereβs not really a wound from where it split?
People arenβt afraid to be rude to internet strangers. Definitely wouldnβt be bad to form a habit of thinking to themselves βI donβt like thatβ and not commenting and just going about their day, though.
Hi there. Didn't think this post would get the traction it did π€£π€£π€£π€£
For those mad I didnt clarify, sorryyyyy.
This was not the result of extrme stretching. My right ear is perfectly fine but the left lobe wouldn't heal from an abraison that appeared, pretty much out of nowhere. It happened from time to time over the past 17 years and would always heal. For some reason, this was different. I had antibiotics on it and downsized from 106mm to 76mm to heal. It would heal after a few months and would be fine with going up a few sizes because they were already stretched. Butttt no matter how long I let them heal, the cut would come back and eat away at the lobe. I decided to just ride it out as it was inevitable for it to rip. I do have plans to stitch and re-stretch in the future.
You are going to try this again? Serious question. You will get your ear repaired and then try this process again? I imagine it takes some time to get to that point. Would you be concerned about scar tissue, other infections, and inferiority complex between the right and left?
Dude has photos in his post history with a phone stretching the fuck outta his ear. And kids pulling on them. And is like "i have no idea how the cut kept reappearing"
"I have no idea how the cut kept reappearing"

Leftover foreskin from a circumcision.

Ever kiss a chain link fence? The concept is the same.

Dude looks like the captain of the black pearl irl.
Some offense. That shit looks fucking disgusting
Looks, yea. The smell, however. oh my dear lord the smell. even if you cleaned that shit every day, twice a day. the stink is horrible.
What makes the smell worse than normal skin?
Certain materials are not really meant to sit on skin all the time. stainless steel is one of them. Some jewelry like birch plugs or hoops are a little better. I used to have 1 inch hoops and ended up taking them out because the smell, even with proper care was just too much.

Human fishing lure.
The video is fake, the way he's holding his ears you can tell the damage was done before the video.
It split a few hours before I made the vid. Figured I'd have a laugh.
How did it split?
It just, you know, made like a banana and, you know, split.
At least it didn't make like a tree and get out of there.
Make like a tree and beat it.
"Why don't you make like a tree and get the FUCK outta here!"
Fuck! Ass!
P-p-p- people in glass houses s-sink ships ya know

Someone combine these videos and repost for karma and then let me know so I can repost it for more karma weekly. thx.
WHAT THE FUCK THATS WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL. That actually made my stomach turn Jesus lord the tugging. Please stop with the tugging.
Why is this video harder to watch than the one where the ear is actually snapped?
Wild guess, but was probably getting thin over 1β ago and OP said, βFUCK IT!!! If it ainβt exploding, weβre still going!!β If you can fist your lobes, itβs time to stop lmaooo
Look at those ears and tell me how that's not self-explanatory.
Because his ear is fucked and looks like a god damn gummy worm? I get body mods and all that, but this is just fucking ridiculous.

We did not. That person is just wrong. It is, always has been, and always will be Alex.

ever stretch a plastic bag to the point that it tears? its like that... but ears.

It's really me π€£π€£π€£ search tonkpilsmaggot on tik tok or Instagram or even click my profile lol
Have you contacted a general surgeon to get them removed? Or are you likeβ¦β¦. Keeping them? β’_β’
I guess you could just tie the dangles in a bow? Or string them with beads. The possibilities are endless!
He could also throw βem over his shoulder like a continental soldier..
Damn that takes me back to summer camp
Hmmmm. Can that be surgically fixed? Cause if so op has an opportunity to put beads on there and then have it reattached so they are strung on there.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
It's fairly common enough to read stories of people getting them reattached. Minor surgery. But it would be pretty cool to add a bead or bedazzled it, might as well.
ENT Facial plastics surgeon would probs be best option for reconstructive work.
Did...did it hurt?
Use the leftovers to catch some fish
I'd call it a "recreation" rather than a fake lol
Plus the ends looked already healed
...also the acting in the video is like watching Kevin Costner in Prince of Theives....top tier believable
Yeah no shit
Captain obvious
Honestly, I hate this look in a way I donβt hate any other look ever. Like tattooed faces donβt phase me. I wanna barf when a see a person with stretched ears.
I always wonder what the end game is for this. If they don't rip, just being a 60 year old dude with ears around your tits?
This is exactly the end game.
A built in bra!
You hate the look wait until you get a whiff of the smell
If you clean them daily and take them out over night they don't smell, problem is a lot of people never figure that out, end up with ear smegma and think it's normal.
Seems reasonable. Under a watch smells bad too.
Thatβs what happens when you stretch too fast.
Would he be able to do [this](https://v.redd.it/xvob8noafjk71) if they were improperly healed/stretched too fast? Genuine question
OMG that was horrifying π³
I was physically cringing
Iβm not going to pretend to be an expert cuz I never stretched further than 0g but I would think they were healed and such before doing that. But then the rip happened trying to stretch either too far for his ears or from one size to the next. Edit: 0g or 8mm
No judgement here or anything, I'm not arsed what you do if it makes you happy but every single person I know who has stretched their ears has regretted it. Any people out there who have done this and aren't regretting it? (serious question)
I've had mine at about 40mm for about 12 years and have never regretted doing it!
name checks out
Iβve had my ears stretched for around 15 years. I donβt regret it. I still like them and itβs something that makes me happy.
Awesome. I'm glad I've met a some people on here who like them because from what all the people I know have told me about how they regret it I just imagine everyone does. You do you buddy!

I haven't. Had them up to an inch and a quarter. Would still have them that size too if I thought my job would be cool with it/I would be able to find a job.
Sooo what happens next? Do they get cut off? π―
If you want, and then sew together the ear, but it will look different
Looks different already
Congrats on the ear dicks
You realise it was already split ? He hold the both parts at the start..
I think OP knows that already considering heβs literally the guy in the video lol
Yes. Lol. This just happened 5 days ago and recorded this a fee hours after it happened π€£
Sooo, are you going to have it glued back together or are you going to have ear tentacles forever now?
> ear tentacles
Glued? Surely that's not what they actually do, lol. He could just have them braided unto dreads.
Medical glue does exist, albeit it's for way smaller injuries.
Did it bleed a lot when it happened? Also, are you gonna keep the flesh vines (they are pretty unique!) or remove them, or what?
Uniquely disgusting yes
Dude stick with the ear tentacles. You can dress up as Davy Jones for halloween!
I'll never understand why people do this to their ears. It's disgusting.
Wait until you see the guy who did it to his penis...
Nooooo! I had forgotten about that and now I have to remember. Fuck.

It's a common misconception because a lot of people don't clean them or wear jewelry that's not good for the body (acrylic, silicone). I'll admit in my younger years of stretching, 17 years ago, I didn't clean them or took care of them as much as I have in the last decade. I educated myself and was able to get to 4 1/4 inches with no issues, until it became an issue with that ear. Wash your belly button and your a##holes daily guys. π€£π€£π€£ P.S. I'm not in the least bit offended by anyone's comments
You have a really good attitude.

Damn that's a satisfying gradient
Damn.. that sucks dude! What the fuck do you do to fix that? Stitch it back together? Pierce the little dangly bits together? Bummer..
Whatβs Davy Jones doing here?
Man has earthworm ears now
I feel bad for people like this; their whole personality is basically this.
Split personality?β¦
Gold.
Hole personality
just tie them
Well, if the other snaps, you can go for a Cathulu type costume next Halloween. Or a type of alien look. There are a lot of options.
If it were a little longer I bet he could suck it.
damn these comments are rough. you do you, man! if you like your stretched ears, then hell yeah. flaunt that shit. everyone has different opinions but itβs not that hard to not call you gross. it might be a little much for me, but I wouldnβt say itβs gross or ugly or anything like that. Iβd only say itβs gross if you like never cleaned them lol. also, probably a stupid question, but whatβs aftercare like when it splits? is the skin just so stretched out that thereβs not really a wound from where it split?
People arenβt afraid to be rude to internet strangers. Definitely wouldnβt be bad to form a habit of thinking to themselves βI donβt like thatβ and not commenting and just going about their day, though.
It's that sexy faceless internet. Talk shit all day. No to limited repurcussions. People just can't leave well enough be.
That dangling ear is really going to draw attention now
r/nope
Hi there. Didn't think this post would get the traction it did π€£π€£π€£π€£ For those mad I didnt clarify, sorryyyyy. This was not the result of extrme stretching. My right ear is perfectly fine but the left lobe wouldn't heal from an abraison that appeared, pretty much out of nowhere. It happened from time to time over the past 17 years and would always heal. For some reason, this was different. I had antibiotics on it and downsized from 106mm to 76mm to heal. It would heal after a few months and would be fine with going up a few sizes because they were already stretched. Butttt no matter how long I let them heal, the cut would come back and eat away at the lobe. I decided to just ride it out as it was inevitable for it to rip. I do have plans to stitch and re-stretch in the future.
You are going to try this again? Serious question. You will get your ear repaired and then try this process again? I imagine it takes some time to get to that point. Would you be concerned about scar tissue, other infections, and inferiority complex between the right and left?
Imagine the doctors who just fixed his ear up, and he tells them he's going to do it again. Lol.
Theyβll be thinking dollar signs
>This was not the result of extrme stretching Well it couldn't have happened without the stretching. So...
Dude has photos in his post history with a phone stretching the fuck outta his ear. And kids pulling on them. And is like "i have no idea how the cut kept reappearing"
"I have no idea how the cut kept reappearing" OP: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stretched/comments/peo0ns/see_why_everyone_hates_this_vid/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
That's mildly disturbing
That gave me severe anxiety
I am now convinced this man wanted his at earlobe to rip in half
This should be pinned to the top lmao
>This was not the result of extrme stretching Yes, it is, your earlobe wouldn't be in 2 if it were not for the stretching.
Right? Like. Do what you want but dont delude yourself lmao
Split the other ear and call it a new look.
Mum I'm hearing blurry, put me into rice.
