Ear Decoration: Spacers

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?

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.

The bigger ones are terrifyingly hideous on men or women.

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

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.

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

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.

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 :WF:

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.
