NEWS (2): Ear Stretching

Ear stretching: Why is lobe 'gauging' growing in popularity?

Like the news say, stretched ears are becoming so popular in the underground and alternative look.
So many people stretch their ears to look more... I don't know. Cool? Or, impressive?

The girl of the photo (a girl called Amie Conradine) think that it's a way to look more radical in her style.
Personally, I think that ear stretching looks so good If you stretch a few milimeters of your ear (but 24mm like this girl: NO.)

It's like tattoos, or piercing in general.
You can have tattoos, but not in all your body: because it pass to be a kind of symbol of your personality (or decoration, whatever), to be one more stain on your body.


I think the purpose of piercings,stretched ears and tattoos is to put a twist in your body to be more original and at the same time, describe your personality and your way of seeing the world.
But if you pass the line of radicalism, no longer serves that purpose.
You look just like a clown!

People need to be clear about this line.
Because it is important.

SO important.
