Thank you! I’ve had my stretched ears for 10 years, too! I actually wish I had done a better job documenting the process…the majority of these are just regular photos where you *happen* to be able to see my ears. In hindsight, I should have taken closeups of my ears at each size!

I use a quartz nostril retainer similar to this one from Bodyartforms. However, it will probably still be noticeable if anyone looks at your nose closely, kinda like a large pore or a blackhead. Check out the customer photos to see what i mean.

I can’t speak from experience, but depending on your skintone, have you thought about solid wood plugs?

I’m sort of upset because i can never find any hider plugs in an African-american skin tone. Do you know where i can find some???

I think they would work pretty well if the color is close to your actual skintone (they come in 3 different shades, I believe mine are the medium color). They would probably look similar to mine since the size is fairly close.

I should also add that it depends on who you don’t want seeing your stretched lobe piercings. The Marines, for example, would probably still notice.

Nearly a year since a comment was last posted on here, but out of curiousity, how well do you think a 3/4″ kaos hider plug would work?

I definitely recommend the Kaos silicone hider plugs, which you can see in the last picture. They are carried by Bodyartforms: http://tinyurl.com/plgnhu

Thanks for sharing!

I too have been fascinated by body mods. My fascination started when I was a kid watching all of the interesting ethnic cultures on National Geographic TV Specials.

At the moment I am up to 00g for my ears and would like to find some silicone hider plugs to use.

Thanks Again for your “Timeline”!
