Skip Flotten’s right ear is a massive three and a half inches in size in this photo (and it’s now at 3 7/8″), but his little left ear is only at about an inch!
Now that’s some asymmetry!

- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

They look great, but I like mine symmetrical.

The fact that that’s asymmetric actually makes my skin crawl.
I HATE IT.

i didnt’ know “irks” was a word until i read through these comments

I was sad enough to buy 2 tapers in order to stretch my lobes at an identical pace. Now thats not only a little OCD but also darned stupidity on my part since everyone knows that if you want your body to behave in a particular way, odds are it will suprise you and refuse to co-operate!

The one on the left reminds me of bubble gum =(
I think he’d look better being at an inch on each side. That’s my opinion. It’s his body to do whatever he wants to it.

I love how even though they’re different sizes, that they’re the same plugs (from what I can see).
I want to use his ear as a telescope or something.

I’m not usually a fan of asymetry when it comes to earlobe stretching, but i have to admit that’s such a huge difference that it looks fantastic 🙂

That is so neat, and it looks really good on him. 🙂

That’s going to be me 🙁 One ear is 9/16″ and tough to stretch, the other is 7/8″ with 2mm to spare haha.

I dont like symmetry but I like balance…I have a 9/11ths in one ear and a 0 and a 2 in the other. When i continue to stretch i’ll stretch them logarithmicly.

Hehe. ^^ I don’t really feel strongly about the way this looks on him one way or another. It suits him, I think, and he looks happy.
What amuses me is how many people dislike asymmetry! I’ve been basing my piercings on being asymmetrical for a while now. My right ear is completely without piercings while the left has a 00, 6, and two cartilage 18s. I’ve got my right brow and the left side of my lip. So I’m definitely going for an unbalanced look.. but the thing is to me it looks awesome. And I get compliments on the unique aspect of it all the time.
Asymmetrical modders untie!

All I want to know: is that his real eye color or colored contacts? Nice portrait.

This reminds me of that guy from the movie Lady in the Water. He only worked out one arm and one leg. So he had one buff side and one normal side. I don’t know where I was going with that……

Awesome!! Love his assymetrical lobes.

On him I like it, but myself… Well I’ll just say that this weekend I got two bone spirals and since they are natural, the spirals aren’t exactly the same. I find myself twisting them to get them to look as close to each other as possible!

In response to #33-
They are two different plugs. The 1″ plug is an SS tunnel with o-rings while the other one appears to be made of a completely different black material with flares. Perhaps silicone?
