@drewbevr: Started stretching at 14 with a framing nail I found in my basement. 31 now wishing I knew about “dead stretching” and how bad tapers were back then 😂 #stretchedears #46mm #plugs #gauges #fyp

Mamawagen :

I was dead stretching at 17 (2003) before it was called dead stretching 😂

Dandelion.daydream 🌼 :

It's like a piece of soggy calamari 😭

Jill 🖤 :

They look dope. People don’t realize that the resources around stretching today just weren’t there when a lot of young emos started out lmao

ShopwithBethiebee 💙 :

This sent me on a whole 4am side quest of understanding dead stretching vs tapered stretching 🤣

JessicaKiyoko :

thanks, I hated that.

Shannon :

Finally! These are the realistic lobes I wanna see lol

haelcn :

Ugh, 33 here, started at 14 years old. I used a taper to go from a 20g to a 4g. Thankfully, that was my only experience with tapers, but at 45mm, the damage was/is visible. 😭😭

B00ty Patrol :

Bro got his earlobes to match his bhole

Steven Short :

If you’re under a inch you can leave your gauges out and let them almost close and redo them.
