Ear Decoration: Spacers

[tommydski]

These seem to be pretty common now, especially on young women. They are little plugs which go in an ear piercing, sometimes like a hoop and sometimes like a big stud. For some reason it's impossible to get meaningful image search returns on these things but they look a bit like this -



Are they CRAP or NOT CRAP?

[iembalm]

Men been wearing them for years

[busbus]

That person really needs to wash their ears more.

[BadComrade]

Fucking stupid. So common, I wonder why Abercrombie & Fitch or Hot Topic don't sell them with their corporate logo printed on the side of the solid ones.

I can't wait to see a bunch of fucking 50 year old men going in for ear lobe reduction surgery 30 years from now.







White people! Please stop stealing from tribes!

Yeah, it's gross and looks retarded but whatever

The bigger ones are terrifyingly hideous on men or women.

The smaller ones look nice on girls and still stupid on men.

NC, max waffles.

I like mine. It's so small that members of this very forum don't notice it in person, despite living with me for several months, but large enough that upon noticing it they are moved to comment. It's a 4 gauge, if that means anything to you. I don't see why it's gross or stupid in any event.

Friend of mine refers to these as the "White African"

CRAP

[Heliotropic]

Disgusting.

[ironyengine]

Disgusting.

That's two votes for gross/disgusting at least. Do you guys know a lot of people who never wash their ears or something?

[lemur68]

The smaller ones look nice on girls

[a. james]

crap. no waffles. no nothing. stupid, trendy fashion crap.

eat my dick any prf'er with 'em.

(i still like you for you. you didn't need to get spacers to impress me.)

[endofanera]

No more or less crap than any piercing or tattoo. I think tattoos and piercings are bullshit, but lotsa people seem to like decorating themselves, so wtf?

CRAP for me. You do what you wanna.

Work just fine as a flash indicator of an active interest in pseudo-transgressive-fashion-based-nonconformist-lifestyle-choice-goth-subculture-horseshit.

Unless they're so uniformly 'everywhere' that it renders the above meaningless. No, I couldn't hate 'everyone' could I, that would simply not be possible.

in-ear blackheads drive me crazy. For christsakes, use some fucking apricot scrub, witch hazel or toner or something. clean your goddamned ears.

[madlee]

I have to admit, this is the first I've ever heard about this scourge.

(runs to mirror) whew...

For reals. This girl I knew at uni had massive ear plug things, stretched way beyond the point of her skins elasticity. I once asked her what she'd do if/when she got bored. She shrugged and just said 'cut them off I guess'. She also had a full back piece of Rainbow Bright. I'd never even heard of this cartoon before. She'd show me all kinds of sick shit on BME.com. We almost had sex once. I'm still glad it was an almost.

Lots of friends have them. I don't think they look great and they smell up your ears something rotten, but I have a tattoo and a piercing so I have no right to vote crap.


Not crap I guess, big old
Better than branding...

[sack of smashed assholes]

I sorta like 'em if they're not obnoxious, they look cute on girls, when I seem them on dudes, blink 182 comes to mind.

I'll say not crap, just for the girls.

WF: 6 ...it being a blink 182 reminder.
