Big lip plate!

G.C. in Bournemouth, UK just managed to stretch up his lip piercing to 34.4mm (about 1 3/8″)… (See also: Have mursi!)

    That just looks inconvenient.

    It doesn’t look very kissing-friendly

    I agree with number four, although it is a great achievment. First thing that comes to mind is difficulty eating my whippy 🙂

    Can he still drink from a straw?

    I’m really curious about these large lip plates and how they affect everyday things.

  8. xunseenx Avatar

    not a fan of sizes of 5/8″ or so. personally, any time i’ve stretched my lip over 5/8″ i’ve taken it out after about a week. it is, as number 4 said, very inconvenient.

    not that all modifications should be or have to be convenient, but for me, huge oral jewelry (lip and tongue) do get very old after a while. even with my lip and tongue as big as they are now i take them out at night to rest and sometimes to eat.

    it’s great that he’s that far along though. kudos for the patience and dedication.

    Awesome job. Curious as to how much of a pain in the ass this is everyday though.

    I like his lobe plugs 6 shooter style! haha. His facial hair reminds me of my own too.

  12. Pauly Unstoppable Avatar

    my lip was up to 34mm by 20mm at one point

    still a far cry from his

    but i never had any problems with day to day activites and such

    kissing and eating and well oral and stuff was fine haha

    but i think its probably cause mine is oval and doesnt make my lip pop out

    He doesn’t look very happy about it lol 😛

    Smile mister you’re on ModBlog.

    Oh! You can’t without the plug popping out.

    I really admire the dedication that stretching up to that size
    must take. Personally I can’t imagine stretching my labret to that size, I should imagine that it does cause some difficulty with day to day activities.

    Still well done to him 🙂

    its very impressive. especially the ability to do perfect ventriloquism with the plug out 🙂

    i just realised i put ‘my whippy’ [number 5]. Oh dear I meant Mr Whippy, as in the ice cream.

    so cant he put his lip back to normal?? i bet he does a killer bubba gump impression

    i bet he’s so serious because he can’t smile anymore…
    i mean, i love body modification and stuff, but, at least for me, there are some limits like… i wouldn’t do something that difficults so much my everyday life. i don’t think having such a plate in your lip is so comfortable…
    but oh well, if he’s happy with it, what can you say? at least i have to admit he’s very brave, stretching my labret only from 18 to 14 was a fucking pain in the ass.

    Im just wondering are we no longer allowed to make negative comments on any of the postings?

    Everyone of mine gets moderated, if its a nice comment its allowed, anything negative gets deleted.

    agree with 20 & 21.
    apart from not being aesthetically pleasing, at least personally, it seems such a large lip plate really … disrupts most everyday activities.

    simply put, it looks like a bitch with no apparent benefits.

    Agreed with 20.
    While im a firm believer in people being able to do whatever the hell they want with their bodies i think that some people just do these things to “out extreme” each other. Makes me laugh 😛
    They love the attention in public aswell haha.

    i doubt that it is very comfortable, but i looks cool.
    respect for the discipline to go that far.

  26. Giles Wallwork Avatar

    Even the Suri, Sara and Mursi women are starting to object to the wearing of large plugs and plates due to dribbling when they are taken out and having to have their bottom rows of teeth knocked out.

    actualy its verry comfortable it doesent affect my every day life at all stretching it from 1.6mm to what it is now has been done over about a 5 year period as its going slow you adapt as you go i use my tounge as a bottom lip i do it without realising and kissing is not a problem

    cheers for the big up’s guy’s

    I missed all the other mods that are stretched to an uncommon size as well! I was too busy gawking at the lip.

    I don’t even want to think about all the chapstick you go through dear!

    Where the hell can I get plugs like the ones you’ve got in your ears, eh? Those are fantastic.

    Oh, and upon seeing the picture, my first thought wasn’t about his lip, I just thought he was daaaamned cute. I am really oversexed today or something, Jeebus.

    right now my lip is approx 3/4″ (18mm right now) and i plan to go much bigger

    ive worn my lip ‘out’ and its pretty comfortable once you get used to it so i can see why gc likes it, not to mention the look on him

    for me i dont care for it too much, im planning a large oval which i see as being much more practical and will fit me better

    People are so constructive nowadays. Eating, drinking, smiling, talking and kissing never seemed to be a problem when I’ve been around him so maybe people assuming isn’t quite such a good idea. Each to their own I guess but I think it’s cool.

    More power to the guy, he’s obviously found ways around the imagined difficulties we think he should have (otherwise he’d be dehydrated and very skinny.) I think it’s a very unusual look, but it suits him, so that’s all cool. I love the matching plugs he has throughout his stretched piercings: it creates such a cohesive look. I think the lobe plugs benefit from being different from the rest, it sort of adds to the effect no?

    thank you caz and everyone else thats left a respectfull comment. i dont know why people talk shit about someone they dont even know

    and dissent if you think i did this coz i thought it would make me cool you are a retard yeah being spat at in the street, verbal abuse, people looking at you like a piece of shit, getting punched in the head coz of how you look, yeah i go through all that just so i can feel cool you know nothing of me or my interests. i dont care if you dont like it but who are you to judge me

    Yeah, we’d have to REALLY enjoy being beaten up by strangers if we were doing this for attention, or to “out-extreme” others…

    I mean, I get that a lot, and I don’t even have anything “extreme”.

    Saying he’s trying to “out-extreme” others is just as prejudiced as accusing a 16-year-old with a lip ring that they just want attention…
