If you mutilate you ears with those disk thingies do they ever get back to normal ?

[UndertheOcean]

It looks super ugly . why would anyone do that.

[HopeHoops]

1. Cell phone storage - why else?

No shit - I have a picture of a guy with his cell phone in his ear lobe hole.

[newcriminal]

4. This guy?

[HopeHoops]

9. Yep, that's the one.

That phone is almost identical to mine (slight color theme difference).

2. they honestly really freak me out I can deal with most face piercings,

but those ear disks I find really repulsive. Just, yuk. "Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier (not sure of the lyrics there)? Do your earsssss hannnnnnng low?"

I don't see how their lobes could ever recover.

12. Those are the same lyrics I learned. I never understood them, however.

[surrealAmerican]

15. I was lead to believe that the "continental soldier" ...

... would be the French foreign legion, who wore those hats with flaps to protect their necks from sunburn. I can't remember where I heard that, though.

3. I have a friend who has a large metal ball protruding from his cheek and

a mohawk and he wonders why people won't pick him up when he's hitching.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. I'll bet job interviews are a real trip, too.

[graywarrior]

19. He's a tat artist.

[Arkansas Granny]

22. In that case, I guess it wouldn't be so much of a problem.

5. I like how it looks.

And as for going back to normal it depends on how large you stretch them to and how resilient youur earlobes are. It varies from person to person.

6. Love handles. n/t

7. it looks super ugly to you. mercifully you are not the authority of aesthetics of the universe

several cultures find those disk thingies just as attractive as others find earrings etc

[UndertheOcean]

11. Yes I am .

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. i hardly doubt you are of any importance to anyone, else you wouldnt be such a bitter jerk

[UndertheOcean]

16. ear disks are still ugly

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. so is your opinion or more or less everything. nt

[seemunkee]

8. My son has them

at one point he had them stretched to 1 inch. He has let them close down to 1/2". I doubt if they will ever fully close.
My daughter is starting to stretch hers, I hope she doesn't go too far.

[Forkboy]

10. They're good for a laugh or ten.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. I honestly believe if you're willing to mutilate your ears....

...chances are nothing about you will ever go back to normal.

[UndertheOcean]

18. +1

[gmoney]

21. As they say down at Akbar and Jeff's Piercing Hut...

"It's not self-mutilation if we help you do it!"

[Shell Beau]

23. I am definitely not a fan but different strokes for different folks.

[Kali]

24. they can probably just trim the loop off, flush with the upper part of the lobe.

Might be a little odd shaped but it would work.}(

[Moondog]

25. A plastic and reconstructive surgeon could probably turn them

back into a "normal" (whatever that means) looking earlobe. At a price, of course.

[LynneSin]

26. Dr 90210 had an episode where the guy wanted to fix his earlobes

The guy had massive discs in and outgrew that phase but was left with these big gaping holes in his droopy ears. They fixed them up but it just seemed like alot of hassle.

27. I told my teen never to do anything

he couldn't hide or reverse because people - and fashion - change.
