+338 Sure, expanding your ears might seem awesome now, but wait 10 years and you'll realize as soon as you walk into any interview that is NOT at Hot Topic, you're screwed, amirite?

I agree, but not always. I'm stretching my ears but only up to a small size so as soon as I take them out my ears will go back to a normal size. I think it's ok as long as you're smart about it.

They can go back to normal as long as they aren't ridiculously big. My boyfriend had a double zero and you could barely see the hole after a while when he had to take his out.

I gauged mine to 3/4" which I don't regret at all. Coincidentally I do work at Hot Topic, but the career I want doesn't force me to look conservative which is good because I also have a few facial piercings.

Did anyone else think "expanding your ears" was a weird way to word it...

If they're the size of a quarter I think they can tell...

maybe a quarter... i really dont know how big that would be trying to think abou tit. lol look i spaced to early and spelled tit. but i think if theyre not chaning the shape of their earlobe theyll be ok. sucks for the ones that do but most people keep it at like a 0 or 00 or maybe half inch, but half inch might be too big.

Well when you're done with them and want to pursue a serious career that wouldn't allow that sort of appearance, you can always have them snipped and stitched up. It's not that big of a deal.
