Q: Ungauge gauged ears

A: The ungauge I meant was for a size of a dime, can that bee undone. I was wrog at the 18 in ,and its not me

A: I had the same gauge size. My ears have shrank, and yes they look kinda funny. However, just because you have gauged ears doesn't mean you can't wear "regular" earrings. Of course I don't wear hoop or dangle earrings because there is a gap. I wear earrings that can be paired with large, flat, plastic backs that are bigger than the hole (the kind you wore when you were a kid, or grandma). Don't be worried, your ears WILL shrink! I would put in smaller gauges, but I wasn't seeing any major changes. What did I do? I took them out. Yes people may stare at the holes in your ears, but it is just something you have to live with if you want your holes to shrink. SO don't give up! They WILL shrink. Just don't count on having an 18 gauge anytime soon.

A: I'm at 5/8 right now and I have to take them out for work. What I heard is the best way to close them up without looking like a retard is go back down. Every week. Go back to one size smaller than you are at. You wont have the weird looking holes in your ears when you go down and you get to enjoy them for a while. Hope that helps.

A: .

A: this is really something people need to think about before they start. I havnt wore my gauges in 2 years, I was at an inch when I took them out, and my ears have only reduced down to 7/16 and wont shrink anymore. I have known people to come down from big gauges like mine to completely healed but you have to gauge up first and then take it out and let it heal again and repeat several times.

A: no, if your holes were about the size of the dime and if youve had them in for about a year or a lot more, then generally no skin thats that far apart cant re-connect itself or grow back together if the hole has healed around the peircing...then its healed it wont ever grow back youll need surgery to ger it looking normal again if you want it this is what kids need to think about first before they run off and gauge there ears because it looked cool

A: I've had 0's if you go anymorethan that your ear will look like a butthole... no jokee.

A: why do people piece gauge and tattoo to the extreme ?it seems like maybe a compulsive disorder or some kind of addiction. ,what can be done to persuade people to stop?
