Earstretching.net

I been thinking about Joining the marines for a while, and Ill be kinda sad if they tell me I have to take them out and let them close, even though there only "00" they have made me who i am and are a big part of personality, My question is does anyone know if they'll tell me to take them out?

Haha I just googled this earlier today. It was a mix of yes and no. The army is more desperate and are taking tons of recruits with stretched ears, so I hear.

The marines however are a little more selective, but I've heard the same about them not caring. But I've read that some guys glue their ears shut (sounds retarded) and then ungluing them once they get accepted.

Try this

Thanks man I appreciate it

You may have to take out your plugs when you're actually doing Marine-stuff (haha sorry for my lack of military knowledge) but can put them back in on your own time. How long have you had them stretched? 'Cause at 00G it's pretty likely they'll stay that size forever, especially if you've had them for a while.

I've had them for about a year and after some research I'm really mad reading that some people didn't get exepted because of the holes, and now even more dissapointed learning they won't close at my size.

If you did them slowly, they're supposed to close at 00g... The point of no-return is anywhere between 2g and 1/2, depending on the elasticity of your skin and if you did the stretching process correctly.

Well, IMO the "point of no return" thing is a load of crap; it's seriously different for every single person. I know a girl who tore her ears at 5/8", then she downsized to "normal" earrings and you can't tell they were stretched when she has jewelry in. My piercer was also telling me about someone who went to that size and got down to a 14G.
Then again, I've also heard of people stretching to 2-0G and them never shrinking. My boyfriend used to be at 7/16" or 1/2" and a few years later his lobes look like they could still accomodate a 4G or 2G. But then again he stretched pretty badly.
So basically there's no guarantee they'll close up at any size. If you leave your plugs out for a while they should shrink a little though, even if you can still fit your 00G plugs in.

I heard of a technique to close your lobes even if you had them big, I never tested it so I can't confirm if it work, but if you want to know more about it, ask me !
