DIY Ear Explosion

Posted on by

As Morgan discovered, you can’t force your ears to stretch! That said, figuring out where your body’s limits are is part of the learning process if DIY is your thing. Still, there’s something to be said for taking it really slow — either way, her ear is just fine now, although she lost about a 1/16″ in size from this.

    guh.

  25. Wow – that’s the grossest thing I’ve seen all week.

    Yikes.

    (though honestly, if it were MY ear, I’d probably be fascinated with soaking off all that nastiness and inspecting the actual damage… )

  43. Am sorry but this ear should have been dealt with and the jewellery removed way before this got to being even a tenth this bad.

  47. If that was on my ear I would not be able to leave it alone, I would pick it to death! I really need to curb that habit.

  57. Yeah, I’ve never experienced an infection that bad, but I do recall when, after stretching from 2ga to 0 ga (now at 1/2″, after being MUCH more patient with myself), my ears decided to grow their own bacterial colony. Which was more like a major metropolitain city. And I had giant balls of bloody puss, much like those displayed here 😛 Gehh-rrrooooosssee XD

  61. Ugh why the hell would you let it get like that?!?? I didn’t even know your ears COULD get like that…. eww this is so nasty.

  65. Whenever I see pictures like this, I can’t help wondering why they didn’t notice something was wrong earlier… Surely her ear didn’t get like this overnight?!

    And yeah, I want to pick it…

  69. that’s actually pretty fascinating.

    How does one actually achieve something like that…seems like it’s pretty difficult not to notice the shredding and infecting of your ear…

    “gee. what’s that sound?…*shrug* oh well”

    Like, really!

    *hangs head in shame for Morgan*

  71. I’m actually thinking this just looks a whole lot worse than it is. It just looks like it’s bled and the blood has solidified with a bit of lymph.

  73. i feel bad for her.

    #29, i never understood why the jump from 2g to 0g is 2mm when all the smaller sizes are 1mm or less apart. even my tattoo artist said that guage hurts like a bitch. 00g is 2mm up too.

  79. For those saying that this should have been addressed sooner:

    I had this kind of reaction to Kaos once, too. It happens almost overnight. In my case, it took three days. The first two were mild discomfort, then the third was full blown.

    Assuming this person stretched a hole bunch at once, it could have happened even faster.

  87. How could you not notice that tickling itchy feel in your ears telling you that you need to downsize or get onto some safe jewelry immediately? This isn’t a specific materials issue so much as a listening to your body issue. If your lobe is complaining and won’t shut up, get onto some glass or something so you don’t have a nasty scab blossom in your ear like this one.

  91. fucking disgusting.

    i’m sure it’s a nice experiment to see how infected you can become over time, but good hygiene is SO important in healing piercings.

  101. awww baby come here I’ll clean it up with some witch hazel and tea tree oil until it’s all pretty again.

    Holy hell…
    mine never did that to be sure.

    Worst thing that happened to my poor ears was early on when I just about had the rings pulled out in a mosh pit. *shudder*

  111. 54. yes, it is gross. y’all scab pickers are grossing me out a ton more than this ear. i just want to cut off all of your fingers. esh. chill.

  125. yeah, i’m with Seb at #62, it looks like kaos to me and kaos + stretch = BAD.

    sure, some people can do it, but i’d wager those people are either lucky or their lobes have stretched naturally through heavy jewelry / tugging on it. i personally would NEVER EVER take that sort of risk.

  129. BTW, I’ve stretched several times successfully with Kaos jewelry, and I do not have stretchy skin by nature. They’re a great tool, but you can fuck yourself over really well with just about any good tool out there if you haven’t figured out how to use it. (And then there are some people who just shouldn’t be let loose on the world with a hammer, but I digress.)

    For those interested (and with IAM accounts!), I’ve written a brief entry on my IAM page discussing the nature of silicone jewelry, which is admittedly a bunch of half-educated guesses but it seems to work. Not trying to whore or anything, just thought it would help add to the discussion.

  131. – Stretching with Kaos plugs works great! – IF you follow the same rules as when stretching with solid pllugs – go slow – leave months to heal – just because there is no exposed flesh does NOT mean stretch more.

    Ohhhhh

  137. OMG I want to soak it in saltwater for hours…just to get that ick down to a minimum.
    And it makes me want to pick my ears and there isn’t even anything wrong with mine!

  139. It can happen overnight.

    I had a bad reaction to either the silicone eyelets or something that had attached itself to the eyelets. I wasn’t stretching, just using those eyelets for the first (and last) time. Over night they swelled and didn’t look a whole lot better than these ones when I finally got the eyelets out.

  141. Everytime I see pictures like this…I cringe. I never understand how a piercing can get THAT bad! Stretching is obviously a delicate matter for that tissue and if you care for your piercings properly, I don’t see any reason for something like this to happen. I feel really really really bad for her….I’m sure she’ll never do that again!

    I took my time during 2 years to stretch my lobes from 20 ga to 5/8 inch and I never had any problems. I enjoyed the experience tremendously….I think I would have missed out on that if I had scalpled or jumped a ridiculous amount of sizes. No offense to anyone who preferrs to do it those ways 🙂

  145. Every stretch I have done since 00g has been with KAOS, and I’m at 7/8″ now. Now, I don’t advocate people use it to stretch, but if you know your body and how it responds to trauma/stretching, I think you CAN use it…

    that said, her ear is nasty as hell, and I wan to pick at it, then soak it, then pick off the soggy inside-scabs…

  147. Oh God – I’m cringing and nauseated. I’ve had some nasty wound infections, and I know they can get fucked up really fast, so I’m not going to assume she just left it there to rot for a week or so before she decided it was worth a trip to have it looked at…but oh fuck that looks ghastly. That poor girl, that poor ear! Oh, my poor stomach!

  151. yuck thats really gross.
    poor girl I hope it heals up really quickly for her, I agree things can go bad ways more or less over night.
    hugs good luck with that.

  153. as for the poeple saying to stretch with kaos.. its just such a bad idea. what happened to people just waiting til they see a good bit of slack and just slipping new jewelry in? oh yeh. thats right. impatience. i guess this is the price the unlucky ones have to pay.

  159. this reminds me of my idiot ex-friend who decided to stretch from 2 ga to 00 ga with kaos…. now both his lobes have a lump of scar tissue where there used to be holes… too bad (but he deserved it)

  161. It looks like she may have been stretching with the silicone plugs. Which turn your pretty lobes to gangrene ridden, blown out buttholes in no time! Delicious!

  167. That happened to me. Looked just like that too, unfortunately mine healed shut after that, and I had the huge balls of scar tissue punched out 6 months later.

    It was the most difficult thing to go through for me, emotionally and physically.. i had lost a big part of my identity and it was hard to go on. I felt great shame. I feel her pain.

    Kids: Stay in school and wait a few months in between stretches.

  183. I’m surprised she only lost 1/16″ in size…
    but maybe the scabs make it look worse than it really is.

    if that were my ear, I’d be having a FIELD DAY picking at it.

  243. Improper cleaning leads to this.. I am at 9/16 right now and I haven’t gauged my ears in sometime now, but I still clean my ears at least 2 times a day to prevent this.. It all starts with an “itch of uncleanliness” If it starts itching CLEAN IT!! or it will itch worse, begin to swell, start stinking, and end up a jewelry-less crusty-puss scab-plug filled hole that all these other freaks want to pick for you!! (pick you own damn scabs) I have seen far worse than this though..

  253. Oh shit that’s messed up! I’ve seen people clean their fresh piercings with 96% alcohol – the scabs were fucking GREEN. And I agree, she could have at least wiped the scab off a little before taking the picture..

  259. ahhhhhhh, hahahaha. XD that happened to one of my ears last year. i got so addicted to stretching, i ended up skipping sizes and stretching them more ever few hours. then POP! nasty goop started oozing. bled forever. scared me so bad. went down waaay smaller size and have no intention of stretching them more anytime soon. luckily it healed very well, since i took care of it right when it happened.

  277. That happened to my lobes once a few months ago when I tried skipping a size. It happened overnight, and it didn’t hurt. It was fun to clean, and it was still at the same size it was before I tried stretching. They turned out fine, and are at 1/2″ and perfectly healthy. 🙂 Sometimes stuff looks way worse than it actually is!

It was fun to clean, and it was still at the same size it was before I tried stretching.

  291. So this recently just happened to me. How exactly do I take care of it? Also is it alright to put a smaller plug in or should I just wait for it to heal?

  295. DUDE! How the hell did you let your ear even get like this?? Only an idiot would do something like this and not take care of their own ears.
    I havent had my ears stretched in 2 yrs and just this saturday I did mine on my own. I did them to a 00G (3/18 Inches) and even I TAKE CARE OF MY OWN EARS!! I use Hydrogen Peroxide, soap, and sea salt (a pinch of salt then add warm water).

    But seriously!! IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY STRETCH YOUR EARS THEN DONT DO IT AT ALL!!
