that are dumb. 

“Omg! Did that hurt!” (referring to my stretched ears)

Answer: The voice/tone you ask this question in makes me want to say “yes it fucking hurt are you mental?” The truth is that’s not true for me.  When I sized up some times it would burn for a little and be soar for too but it was not unbearable.  If you wait and size up correctly, stretching your ears will not hurt.  Of course most people don’t wait long enough and size up too soon and rip their ears.  That fucking hurts.

“Ew, do they smell?”

Answer: Just like any other hole in your body it has an odor.  I bet if you wanted to smell your earings they won’t smell to nice.  My hole just happens to be bigger so if you wanted to smell my plugs the scent would be more noticeable.  Also depends on the plugs material, plastic for instances traps in odor.

“Your ears will never go back to normal past that size.” (this is a statement and one I hate the most)

Answer: Oh I wasn’t aware that you knew so much about stretched ears? Have you had them before? Oh no….you haven’t? Oh I see you know some one who knows some one who had them before and their ears never closed back up.  MY ears will go back to normal.  Maybe your friend did know some one whos ears never closed up but that’s probably because they didn’t size up slow enough/correctly.  You need to go slow in order to avoid creating scar tissue.  I don’t have scar tissue so my ears WILL close up if I ever decide to take my plugs out.  Yes even if I go to a bigger size.  It won’t happen over night mind you, but it will eventually  happen.
