The Whining and Bitching Thread

Gauges? like the things you stick in your ear holes?

You are very well correct krampus. I used to have them on and off since 8th grade. And finally, when I didn't let my mom control what I wanted to with my appearance, my cousin had a wedding and I was in it. So, out of respect (even though my cousin didn't, but everyone else did), I took them out. And I just started on redoing them. I always felt better about myself with them in. I am at a half inch.
 
Do they ever fully close? I've not had gauged ears but the regular 18-20G hole in my right earlobe got stretched out from heavy earring abuse and it won't go back :(
 
I would never get my ears gauged unless it's for a practical purpose such as this:

Yeah, mine fully closed up. It took only 6 months to close up fully, but I have had them out for a little over 2 years.

A1a23, there are kids that go to my school, that use pop cans as gauges. They look so stupid. Just as stupid as that cellphone, but it is funny. I never went bigger than a half inch but never stayed smaller than a half inch.

There is atually this one video my friend has on his phone, there is this guy that went too big in his gauges, that his ear lobe is all like paper thin and you see him put both his hands in his ears and just rip the rest. It is pretty gross.
 
Gauges can be disgusting, but they really aren't, well to me they are not.
People use just about anything for gauges these days though. My older brother's friend, he cute some sort of pipe out of his mom's apartment and shoved that bad boy in his ear.
The video though is really gross though. At first he is playing with them and eing all goofy and then out of no where he rips it like an idiot. It made my stomach drop. I have no idea why anyone would do that. I am going to try to find it.
 
I used to have my eyebrow pierced. It got infected and looked gross. Now I stick with my earlobes and my little nose stud which only gets worn on the weekends.
 
Any kind of body modification I usually find intolerable. I couldn't sit with my ex when she got her tattoo. Call me a pussy if you so choose; but the thought of a needle rapidly puncturing the skin and flooding it with ink makes my scrotum clench.
 
Yeah I've never understood anyone's desire to get a tattoo or piercing.

Congratulations, you've just done long-term and possibly irreversible damage to your skin so you can look more 'unique'. Wasn't that worthwhile.

Oh, you did it to your face, neck or lower arm huh? Good thinking, now your job opportunities just dropped by like 75%. Hope you're never hard up for cash as you live up that edgy, bohemian lifestyle of yours.
 
SO EDGY OMG.

I like the way the yakuza guys around here do their tattoos. All easily covered by a shirt, and come with a free yubitsume (chopping off a finger)!

While I do think tattoos look hot on hot people and can be a turn-on, I'm not about to go covering myself in Horrorpops album art just so I can look like another Bettie Page wannabe chick from LA with pompadour bangs.

I have almost half my body tattoo'd and it hasnt threatened my job opportunities at all. In the past decade, I think tattoos have come a long way in terms of being accepted, not only in the work enviornment but just in general. In another ten years, I dont think it will matter at all how tattoo'd someone is, so long as they are qualified for the job.
 
Yeah, those are the people who go to yakuza-only bathhouses, because they are yakuza tattoos reserved for yakuzas and non-Japanese Japanophiles.
