+309 Spacers should not be considered ear rings, they should be considered self-mutilation, amirite?

With spacers, you aren't mutilating yourself, you're just stretching the skin of your ear.

Those things are disgusting. The lady that did my cartilage piercing agrees, and she's a professional tattoo artist/body piercer.

Wouldn't getting a regular piercing also count as self-mutilation? You are sticking a piece of metal through your ear.

I think they're fine until the point that they'd flap when you run.

I thought you meant by spacers those little rubber things the orthodontist puts in between your teeth and I was terribly confused

No way. Gauges are hot; as long as they aren't freakishly huge.

agreed! i think they're alright but i knew a guy who had a huuge one, he took it out once and the hole in his earlobe was massive, it was pretty disgusting.

It's not a mutilation, it's called a body modification.

gauges aren't hot at all. theyre mutilation modifications... like plastic surgery?

If they're done on a smaller proportion, like this: http://remotecontrol.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tmj1-macidiary.jpg , I think they look good.
