Goal size?

Discuss all things ear stretching

by Aoric » Tue Jun 26, 2012 3:42 am

For the longest time, I was at 00g and happy, then after awhile decided to make 1/2" my goal. After getting to THAT, I then decided to go up a little bit more to 9/16. I really like how this looks on me now, but I can't decide if this is where I want to stay, or if I want to go bigger.

I really don't think 1"~ would look good on me and with my job it may not be the best thing either. My size now is already kindof hard to hide all the time. Anyway, just kindof wanted totally goal sizes over with people who know where I'm coming from and what I'm talking about lol. Would 3/4" be too large that it would maybe become an issue? Opinions?

In the end I need to decide for myself I know, but I don't want to think this is where I will stay, buy shitloads of new awesome jewelry, only to upsize and never be able to wear it again ;(

(Ps, about my job, it's not having them that's the problem, it's the clientele opinion and questioning that can be the issue, and so hiding them is just the easy way around everything.)

Personally, I think 9/16 is a perfect size. After that I think the jewelry stop looking jewelry and people just look at the hole instead, But fuck what people think. I like the size 3/4 at maximum any higer than that is not my style or taste.

When I was younger I often reiterated the sentiment that I did not care what other people thought of me. But, in the real world, people DO judge others and it can be more of a curse than a blessing. Depending on what you want to do with your life, I would seriously put forth some consideration in how people might perceive you.

I always say do what you want with your body and your life and the heck with everybody else!! With that being said if it will cause you issues with your current job just to be safe i would stay at the size your currently at. As far as looks im not a fan of anything over 3/4 depending on the person and there build. Me i plan on going to a 00g and that's it i think its the perfect size for me.

What everyone else is saying is right its up to you. But personally I like 1/2inch, my original goal was 2g, then 1, then 00, now 1/2in, but personally again 3/4 is the biggest that still draws attention to the plugs not just the hole.
