gauges?

[,Lexiilu]

well i didn't see any threads posted about them so i figured i'd post one :D
do you like gauges on people? i don't mind small ones, but large ones are gross :P

if you have gauges, what size are yours? (and if you want them) what size are you going up to? one of my best friends is just starting to gauge her ears :) if i ever got gauges (i most likely wouldn't) i'd only go up to about a 2.

for the 'clueless' ones:

I don't like really big ones, but some are okay :)

[Conservative,]

Eww no they're nasty. Small ones (1-2 inches) but people with huge ones make me feel sick. I just think they look horrendous. I'd never go out with a girl with them. And I'd keep clear of any guys with them unless they were small.

[Becca]

they look so smart, yes

[Special]

i like smallish ones, i don't like them any bigger than that pic

[buttons]

they are absolutely horrible
turn-off

[Jordy]

They actually look alright I think it's just from my experience, the biggest idiots I know wear them so I automatically hate anyone with a "gauge".

[wiktoria]

My friend has one and it is small so it doesn't look that bad. It makes her seem really manly though lol :S

Pretty much everyone I know apart from my girlfriend has stretched ears. I think they look awesome, and I would totally stretch my ears if I could be bothered to go get them pierced in the first place

[Jessicrawrr]

ew ew ew ew ew ew!!
I hate them, only the smaller ones look ok and even then they look disgusting, I think it's a major turn off.
blegh.

[Eoin247]

Only small ones. Big are definetaly turn off

[Rixion]

Love them but not past 5mm

[dogboy123]

I think they look awful, especially when theyre masive

[.x.miss.angel.x]

Hate hate hate! But not as much as i hate Men who have piercings, defo big turn off.

Never heard them being called "gauges" before, but I think they good when they are small, I did want mine done but I've got tiny ears and wouldnt look right loll

[,Lexiilu]

Never heard them being called "gauges" before
its an american term i guess :)

[Rozi]

I actually loveeee them if they're small. A girl I know has one and it's totally cute. I was tempted to start stretching my ear but I like wearing dangly earings too much.

[Alexx..]

Gauges are a size not the actual term, people who call them gauges annoy me so much -.-
Anyway, i love them, i'll stretch my ears once i can be bothered to get them pierced.

This, but I didn't want to be the first to say it. Sounds ******ed when people call them gauges

[,Lexiilu]

[Shar]

I dislike them however sometimes on some people it looks alright I suppose.

Same for me (minus the girlfriend part..) I think they look pretty cool upto like a certain size, then they get all nasty. I think I can fit my thumb through my friends... Awesome :)

I saw a band a couple of weeks ago and the vocalist had tunnels that were 73mm (we asked)

They flapped around while he bounced around the stage, it was pretty cool, but I'd never go that big
