I know there are tons of valid reasons why people decide to remove their lobes (in this case it was Ben who decided the time was right), but on some level it always makes me a bit sad (not that it makes any sense since it’s obviously making the other person happy, I guess it’s one of the few things I personalize).

I had 1 1/4″ lobes at one point but hadn’t worn anything in them in years. Getting rid of my lobes is just the first step of a project I have planned for my ears.
I really love having absolutly no lobes!

Oh dear! This reminds me of a story my freind told me. Her sister’s lobes were cut off with a bread knife!!!!!!!! That’s so fucking scary.
This looks much more humane. It is a little depressing to see someone, especially with such big lobes, to let them go… 🙁

When I first saw this, it made me feel a little weird. Then I realised he did it himself, which made me feel worse, but now it doesn’t bother me atall. I don’t know what happened, but it’s a good thing.
On the second picture it looks like he hasn’t cut it yet. Did it get detached somehow in the past or is it just not bleeding much?
