    Just wondering what people prefer to wear in their ear lobes (stretched or not)
    Me I prefer plugs because they arent as shocking as tunnels where people can see right through your ear. :pac:

    Don't have any ear piercings, but for small stretches, I think tunnels look best, and plugs look best on large stretches imho...

    Tunnels! theiy're more fun and better for "party tricks"
    i.e., i like to stick things threw them. :)

    party tricks with stretched lobes? apart from passing things through em I don't see any possible tricks, maybe ask on the magic and illusion forum lol

    Plugs
    Not pierced there but I'd get plugs if I was. Small ones, I'm not a fan of the idea of a massive hole in my ear.

    Tunnels, I like how the plain silver eyelets look. I'm still going to get some nice wooden plugs once I reach my final size but I definetely prefer the look of tunnels.

    Balloon animals threw my ear aswell! :D
    and my mates seem to like to smoke/drink threw them!
    and when i say drink i mean witha straw, not much of a magic trick, justa bit of fun! haha

    Tunnels!
    Preferably the squishy rubber ones, they're so light :)

    Tunnels
    Good quality, pretty plugs :) I love my steel tunnels, all my kaos silicone, and my glass plugs (especially any of my dichro ones), and my decent quality stone plugs.

    If I could afford weights, I'd definitely wear them! I love the way they pull down the holes.

    You forgot a ring option! I haven't stretched yet, y'see, so I'm still wearing rings in all my lobe piercings. It's a cheater's spiral cuff:)

    so am i


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 283 ✭✭popecatapetal


    ...aren't circular barbells the horseshoes with screw on balls on each end? and then ball closure rings are a different type?

    of course it's very possible that I am incorrect.

    or that i made a mistake :)
    which, it appears I did, my apologies


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 283 ✭✭popecatapetal


    but yes, that's what i wear :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭The Artist


    id prefer to wear nothing at all:D:D:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 93 ✭✭Original_Sin


    I much prefer the likes of just solid plain black plugs, however for stretching purposes i prefer to have tunnels in, for some reason my ears stretch themselves with those in plus you can wear large guage bcrs through them to help the stretching process along, and it looks funky:cool:

    Tunnels
    I've a poll up on another site, out of 35 votes here are the results

    Tunnels 54%
    Plugs 31%
    Nekkid stretched ears 2%
    weights 2%
    other (is there any other?) 8%


    It was on a more international level though, was wondering if the same applied here and tunnels are already edging ahead. Interesting.

    I don't have my ears pierced
    if ears were stretched, i quite like tunnels, but otherwise, i love my black ball closure rings.
