With apologies to the submitter for posting this in this context, but one of the biggest reasons that piercings (and mods in general) go wrong is that people don’t take proper care of their bodies. Most body modifications are in effect asking your body to heal a wound “open”, which it’s definitely not evolved to do, so it’s important that you give it the best possible chances to do so by adhering to general standards of cleanliness.
As the person who processes the photos and has to look at everything in detail, ear washing is also appreciated for that reason.

Is there a tattoo behind that mess? You can see something through her tunnel…behind the build up…
…maybe her ears are just naturally waxy?
That’s not just wax, it’s crust. And look at the cheesy build-up inside the circle on the industrial. There’s no way this is due to anything other than neglect.
Omg nasty ass ear cheese :-X
this picture is probably from a person in portland
people are dirty as fuck here
its almost like there’s a bat signal in the sky for them
dirty people are drawn to this town
which is why im getting the fuck out as soon as i graduate
L2CLEAN EARS, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…..
Dayum! If you even just ignore the extreme cheese going on there you notice how red and angry her whole ear looks. Someone get the girl some warm salt water and some q-tips, stat!
I’ll be honest.. I thought the tunnel was a plug. >_
I don’t understand how the hell it got that dirty!
Honestly, I’ve gone without showering for a few days and my tunnels have NEVER gotten even close to that. That’s just nasty. What do you have to do, or not do, to get your ear to look like that? It’s unreal. If she would just hop in the shower and just let the warm water hit her I bet that would clean that nastiness off.
looks like her ear grew mold…i threw a loaf of bread away with those exact gunk/dirt/colour patterns on it yesterday.
ick. if her ear could talk it would request these things: sea salt soaks. vitamin e oil. tea tree oil. jewelry scrubbing. new o-rings. a hug. that ear is going to need dr. phil after this 😛
what makes my day is seeing shannon’s filenames for these entries
“for-the-love-of-god-clean-your-ears.jpg”
Wow…!!
Imagine what it probably smells like!!!!
!!!
Too much cheese!
Well there looks like ear wax at the top by her industrial/scaffold. Then her 3rd & 4th look like she just shoved the plugs in there because that’s blood surrounding the plug….And ew, I just noticed that her tunnel (1st/lobe) has wax in it too! Do people not wash?
Honestly, I don’t clean my plugs. I just WASH daily and mine are pretty clean (with the rare little ammounts of ear cheese every now & then which is pretty normal). If my ear looked like that, I’d want to take bleach to it. I just can’t stand that much ear wax!
If her ear’s that bad imagine what the rest of her personal hygiene issues are. BME aftercare leaflets for general distribution, bloody good idea!
i believe i already said this at https://www.bmezine.com/lish.html 😀
ewwwwwwwwwwww. . .
Holy fuck.
Pictures like this put me on my way to anorexia.
Sometimes, I even astound myself with my wit.
That’s gross…. if she has any other piercing what the hell will they be like?
If her scaffold/industrial was a lot cleaner and happy overall overall (as well as her other lobe piercings), I actually think the particular jewellery she’s wearing would look quite striking. Its a shame that it has to be overlooked really.
Bleedin’ typos! (>.
I don’t see the necessity of BME aftercare booklets, because if you go to a decent, respectable piercer they will give you one of their own, and if you pierce yourself you should know how to clean them.
Still, does no-one wonder how that industrial jewellery got in her ear? I can’t figure it out – its certainly not just going to slot right in :*(
This is bloody nasty. For the love of god, take a shower.
I would guess she got it in by putting one end in one hole, then sliding it over far enough to get the other end in the other hole. Both balls come off.
And yes, this is ewy.
I’m a EMT and I’ve seen a lot of things but this…
If my industrial got that nasty..
No, I couldn’t possibly let it get that bad. I shower, so no. And that would smell, wouldn’t it? ICK!
This is what gives the rest of the community a bad name.
And i love shannon’s naming.
EWWWWW!!!!! Growing taters in there, huh??
I think I just threw up on my shoes/legs again.
nasty bitch. wash yourself
ouchiland! but i love the jewellery in the industrial. it amazes me that someone could let their piercings get to this stage! i’m surprised her tragus is in such good nick.
The only sane thing to do is cut off her ear. That is just manky.
Just imagine how stinky that is……
At first I just noticed the industrial and the gunk around it…then I noticed inside the actual tunnel looks like its incrusted with some substance. That actually made me gag. Every time I take a shower I take out my plugs and wash around all my piercings with summers eve (vagina soap) because it’s gentle and antibacterial. Then after the shower I use q-tips around all my ear jewelry. I think that’s really necessary. I was making out with a guy one time and I went to kiss his neck and it moved his plug and let loose the smell of death. He obviously never cleaned his tunnels. Lets just say “boner kill” lol…Ear funk is not sexy.
