They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Brian stops the Unstoppable!

Pauly is no stranger to modblog, In fact he has reached damn near celebrity status for his mods and particularly for his stretching. That is why so many people were shocked when he had Brian reconstruct his lobes from 3 3/8″ to nothing!  Before you ask why, take a minute to read Pauly’s blog where he explains his motives.

I don’t know many practitioner’s, bod mod or medical, who have done more ear lobe reconstructions that Brian, and it is evident in the quality of this reconstruction. That’s a genuine compliment, I am not just being nice because it is that delightful sunuvabitch’s  35th birthday today either!

    I’ve personally always wondered more about his nostrils…I think it looks cool and all but how does having them open not create some kind of sinus issue, I always wonder how terrible it must be when he has a cold

    Brian did a nice job. Pauly’s mods are neither here nor there to me, but after reading that blog entry, as a person he seems downright insufferable…

    Im am yet to read his blog for his motives but it seems irrelivent anyhow. He decided to modify his body in a certain way and he has done it. Whether he is stretching, down sizing or reconstructing its all modification. I am often as blown away by reconstruction as I am stretching in the first place as I imagine its not easy to get them looking this perfect. awesome work Bryan and best of luck pauly:)

    Do you guys think this would work to repair a blow out? I have pretty shitty blowouts in both of my ears and would LOVE to start over, but I don’t know if cutting off the blowout will leave me with healthy enough lobes to stretch again later…

    And what about scar tissue? Won’t that make it harder to stretch?

    Otherwise, good luck on the restreching man!

    WOW. My ears aren’t as large as Pauly’s where, but visually they look similar to my ears where the anti-tragus was. I always thought it wouldnt be possible to repair ears that look like Paulys or mine.

    Brian did a AMAZING job, as always. I definitely know who i’d go to if, i ever decide to get em sewn up.
