This was later rebuilt, but what you see here is one of the more gnarly looking earlobe deaths that I’ve been sent… I don’t think I would have left the plug in that long, but at the same time, if it’s lost, it’s lost, and I appreciate someone taking the time to document the scenario…

That looks quite painful, but I am glad that he documented it to show us just how bad it can get. I hope that those ears have healed all right!
That looks painful!! Ow ow ow!
I’m wondering if maybe the lobe was too tight around the jewellery and had no circulation going through it, making it sort of dry up and die.
poor earlobe 🙁
when there’s bad stuff happening with a stretched lobe, it’s a good idea to take the jewellery out for a while. It might shrink a little, but it won’t die.
Last year my 00 gauge eyelet somehow made a tiny scratch inside the hole of my lobe. The lobe started to cry (well not really, but there was lymph coming out of the scratch) so I took the eyelet out. After just a few days, it was healed. Later, I slowly and carefully stretched it to 0 and then 00 (it really didn’t shrink too much during the time that it was without jewellery so the stretching was very easy) and my lobe has never had any problems since.
Temporary downsizing and stuff like that is really not that bad, especially for the health of our little (or big) friendly lobe 🙂
I still think it was frostbite.
I just imagined this earlobe with the plug from a few days ago.
Yeah, my ear started bleeding a little bit and I took the plug out. I prefer a million times downsizing a little bit than letting it get worse. Health always has to come first.
omg, it looks like he got it burned…it looks painful and gross!…why does someone let it go this far?…is it to b able to show ppl pics like this, or is it just ignorance to hes/shes own body, when it tells u its enough???…
I am going to go cry now.
EEWWWWY!! oh i hope that never happens to me! My bf linked this to me and i just said i’m never going to stretch too fast or go that big..and if i think about it slap me!
*shudders*
someone compared my lobes to those
My ears are now at a inch. I did alot of things you shouldn’t like skip sizes once, and stretched with weights ALOT. And this is the 3rd, yes 3rd time getting to 1 inch and they are finly healed. I had to downsize twice cause the lobe turned purple and blue after stretch 2 one inch and when tunnel was removed, a little puss and blood. Don’t let pictures like this discourage you from stretching to bigger sizes. But take heed at how NOT to do it, and research how to do it. one last thing. 2 gauge is not the point of no return in most cases. When I downsized, in 2-3 days my 1 inch went down to about 2-0 gauge, But they were elastic afterwards and i got stretched back in a week about. Just stretch right or don’t stretch at all!
O.U.C.H.

Shit. I wasn’t prepared for that when I clicked on this link. That would fucking suck. I feel bad for whoever it is but then again they must have been being pretty irresponsible while streching.
damn, now that’s pretty scoopy o_O
its caused by stretching to big at one time and it cuts off the bloodflow to parts and the flesh dies
This scared me so much I cried.
I just wanna know why the HELL people let things get THIS BAD. When I was stretching(and even now), if my ears even so much as got *tender*, I downsized immediately & soaked the hell out of them till they got better. You only get one body, people, take care of it!
