Namaste and welcome to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. Thank you for joining me today for this short blog about earring gauges.
Now this is totally my personal opinion here, but I think that they don't really look good on anyone. That opinion however isn't the primary focus of this topic. What I really want to say is that I understand that it's a fad and like everything else it will loose interest and fade away in time. Overall, it's just NOT FOR ME.
However, in the meantime, I have to be absolutely honest and say that I would rather an employer allow the gauges to be IN rather than out. I think it's extremely tacky when the person is forced to have their hangy dangling earlobe all drooping down without the gauge to hold it open. I'd much rather see the earring in.
I think that most of the people who have done this body modification to themselves will ultimately regret their decision after they end their rebellious 20's. For those who do not know, the ONLY way to fix the earlobe after it has been stretched out like this is for it to be surgically repaired and the excess stretched skin cut away. I have worked as a surgical tech and done this procedure with physicians. It's a simple enough procedure, but it still looked supremely painful to cut up the ear and sew it back together. I don't see the attraction, but I'm sure as it is similar to tattooing there is a cult following that are loyal to their body modifications and will keep them forever... and heaven forbid you piss someone off and they rip your gauged earring out...
Well, that's about all I have to say about that. Just be aware and be careful when you are causing a PERMANENT change to your body that is not so easily taken back. Be good to your body.
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Tolerance.
